  • Publication number: 20250240870
    Abstract: A design and process address power delivery problems for PTH and one-step HDI designs. In some implementations, the quantity of layers may be reduced and the thickness of the board may be reduced. In one embodiment, a PCB is back drilled and a round cap plating is performed to get a more uniform power plane. In one implementation, the back drilled section of a VIA is plated as well, which provides a much bigger shape that is plated for power delivery.

  • Patent number: 12368364
    Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to a power supply device for controlling a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel in a reliable and power efficient manner. In one example, the power supply device includes a positive-side switching converter, a negative-side switching converter, and a controller. In an active-bias mode, the controller controls the positive-side switching converter and the negative-side switching converter to alternate a polarity of a bias voltage across a positive output node and a negative output node by alternating between a forward-bias state and a reverse-bias state. In a neutral-bias mode, the controller provides a neutral bias voltage across the positive output node and the negative output node.

  • Patent number: 12366844
    Abstract: A materials handling vehicle receives a wirelessly communicated performance tuning profile, and responsive thereto, adjusts at least one operating capability. The performance tuning profile can be updated dynamically as the materials handling vehicle is operated in a work environment based upon a number of different factors including operational, operator, environmental, other, or combinations thereof. Additional aspects provide a graphical user interface that allows an individual such as a supervisor to create a library of performance tuning profiles, and create and/or program a rules engine to automatically convey an appropriate performance tuning profile to a corresponding materials handling vehicle responsive to detecting a corresponding event associated with a programmed rule.
