  • Patent number: 11955038
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a lenticular display. The lenticular display may have a lenticular lens film formed over an array of pixels. The display may have a number of independently controllable viewing zones. Each viewing zone displays a respective two-dimensional image. Each eye of the viewer may receive a different one of the two-dimensional images, resulting in a perceived three-dimensional image. The electronic device may include display pipeline circuitry that generates and processes content to be displayed on the lenticular display. Content generating circuitry may generate content that includes a plurality of two-dimensional images, each two-dimensional image corresponding to a respective viewing zone. Pixel mapping circuitry may be used to map the two-dimensional images to the array of pixels in the lenticular display. The array of pixels may have a diagonal layout. An offset map may be used by the pixel mapping circuitry to account for the diagonal layout.

  • Publication number: 20240112628
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a lenticular display. The lenticular display may have a lenticular lens film formed over an array of pixels. A plurality of lenticular lenses may extend across the length of the display. The lenticular lenses may be configured to enable stereoscopic viewing of the display such that a viewer perceives three-dimensional images. The display may have a number of independently controllable viewing zones. The viewer may be particularly susceptible to artifacts caused by crosstalk at the edge viewing zones within the primary field of view of the display. Certain types of content may also be more vulnerable to crosstalk than other types of content. Therefore, to mitigate crosstalk artifacts, the pixel value for each pixel may be adjusted based on the viewing zone of the respective pixel and content information (such as texture information or brightness information) associated with the respective pixel.

    Abstract: An electronic cigarette able to test for alcohol on the breath and transmit such data by wire or wirelessly to another device for comparison purposes and for display includes a liquid module, an atomizer, an alcohol testing module, and a microprocessor. Tobacco tar from the liquid module is converted by the atomizer into smoke. The alcohol testing module detects user's alcohol concentration on the breath when the electronic cigarette is turned on. The microprocessor records all data and establishes wireless communication with a portable electronic device and/or a server. The operating data of the atomizer and the alcohol concentration data can be transmitted to the portable electronic device and/or the server for being analyzed and storage.

  • Patent number: 10175238
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of determining the presence or absence of abnormal lymphoid cells or abnormal myeloid cells in a cell sample, with the methods comprising subjecting the cell sample to conditions that will activate any inactive matriptase present in the cell sample and measuring the levels of activated matriptase in the cell sample. Once measured, these levels can then be compared to control levels of active matriptase to determine if the cell sample has elevated levels of activated matriptase over control levels of active matriptase. An elevation in the levels of activated matriptase in the cell sample is indicative that the cell sample contains abnormal lymphoid cells or abnormal myeloid cells.
