Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein to control brightness based on image content or other inputs to a display system. A dual-control system may integrate both slow control operations and fast control operations into a cohesive brightness management system. By using both shorter-term (e.g., fast control) and longer-term (e.g., slow control) brightness adjustment operations, the electronic device may quickly respond to high luminance and high brightness situations that may cause burn-in into the display, image artifacts, or other damage. Responding quickly to these high consumption situations may prevent damage or perceivable upset to an ongoing process, among other benefits.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with an array of pixels. The device may have an array of components such as an array of light sensors for capturing fingerprints of a user through an array of corresponding transparent windows in the display. A capacitive touch sensor, proximity sensor, force sensor, or other sensor may be used by control circuitry in the device to monitor for the presence of a user's finger over the array of light sensors. In response, the control circuitry can direct the display to illuminate a subset of the pixels, thereby illuminating the user's finger and causing reflected light from the finger to illuminate the array of light sensors for a fingerprint capture operation. The display may have display driver circuitry that facilitates the momentary illumination of the subset of pixels with uniform flash data while image data is displayed in other portions of the display.

Abstract: A mechanism for actuation and control of a device, such as an interventional device, in two dimensions via a cable-driven arrangement. The mechanism can include multiple spring-loaded cam followers and a conical control surface acting as the cam. The translation of the conical cam results in the perpendicular linear motion of the cam followers. With the cables coupled to the cam followers from one end, and to the device of interest at the other end, the motion of the followers results in cable displacements that lead to the manipulation of the interventional device. Adjustment of the cable lengths are made possible with a proportion determined by the cam. This allows maintaining a set tension and while avoiding sagging. The resulting system can be an entirely passive mechanism in some embodiments that allows for accurate device position control, position estimation, and haptic feedback.
