  • Publication number: 20240072684
    Abstract: An electronic device may include an inverter. The inverter may convert direct current (DC) power to alternating current (AC) power. The inverter may use a clock signal at a given frequency to output corresponding alternating current signals at the given frequency. The inverter may receive a dithered clock signal that is frequency dithered using a modulating signal. The dithered clock signal may have at least three different frequency levels during a repeated cycle of the modulating signal. The at least three different frequency levels may include a fundamental frequency, a first frequency that is lower than the fundamental frequency, and a second frequency that is higher than the fundamental frequency. The dithered clock signal may be, during the repeated cycle of the modulating signal, at the fundamental frequency for fewer total periods than at the first frequency and for fewer total periods than at the second frequency.

  • Patent number: 11782668
    Abstract: Devices for mitigating or stopping noise or surface current on a display are provided. An electronic device including a display may include a display substrate, a mid-support plate that is adjacent to the display substrate, and a lower support plate that is adjacent to the mid-support plate. A space exists between the mid-support plate and the lower support plate. The mid-support plate includes one or more electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures formed through the mid-support plate, one or more electromagnetic band gap structures mounted onto the mid-support plate, or both. The one or more electromagnetic band gap structures may mitigate or stop surface current flow across the display.

  • Patent number: 11530619
    Abstract: A system includes one or more sensors to detect unintended forward and reverse rotation of rotating machinery. The system also includes a monitoring system consisting of a processor, memory, display and communication interface. The processor receives signals from the sensors. The processor determines unintended rotation when the pattern of received signals match with the conditions defined in the processor. The processor generates a notification signal of “Unintended Rotation” on the display. The notification signal is also sent to the operator workstation to alert the operating personnel. The notification history is also stored in the system memory. The system is also configured to initiate automatic action to stop the unintended rotation and protect the machinery components from unintended rotation. The action may include closing the suction and discharge valve and starting the lubrication system to lube the bearings of the rotating machinery and the motor.

  • Publication number: 20210098921
    Abstract: Spring clips that provide a reliable, low-impedance, low-harmonic path between various conductive enclosure components of electronic devices. These spring clips can include a low-impedance connection on each of two ends, where each end physically and electrically connects to an enclosure component of an electronic device. This can reduce an impedance between enclosure components and reduce the amplitude and harmonics of signals coupled onto them from a nearby antenna or other waveguide.

  • Patent number: 10804584
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for diverting surface current on a display panel support plate are provided. An electronic transceiver device including a display panel may include a display back plate and a support plate, such that the support plate is disposed beneath the display back plate. The support plate may include an array of slots etched into the support plate, such that the array of slots may be used and positioned to divert an electromagnetic field on the support plate to redirect propagation of the surface current towards ground pins located on the display panel housing.
