  • Publication number: 20250118248
    Abstract: According to an aspect described herein, a device is proposed for electronically driving an LED comprising a data signal line, a threshold signal line, and a select signal line. Further provided is an LED electrically connected in series with a dual-gate transistor and together therewith between first and second potential terminals. A first control gate of the dual gate transistor is connected to the threshold line. The device also includes a select latch circuit comprising a charge latch connected to a second control gate of the dual gate transistor and to a current line contact of the dual gate transistor, and a control transistor comprising a control terminal connected to the select signal line.

  • Publication number: 20250020798
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a dual-purpose millimeter-wave frequency band transmitter are disclosed. A system includes a dual-purpose transmitter sending a video stream over a wireless link to a receiver. In some embodiments, the video stream is generated as part of an augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) application. The transmitter operates in a first mode to scan and map an environment of the transmitter and receiver. The transmitter generates radio frequency (RF) signals in a first frequency range while operating in the first mode. Additionally, the transmitter operates in a second mode to send video data to the receiver, and the transmitter generates RF signals in the first frequency range while operating in the second mode.

  • Patent number: 8506233
    Abstract: An axial turbine (1) has a plurality of expansion stages (2) each defined by stator blades (13) and rotor blades. The expansion stages (2) are followed by an exhaust diffuser (4) for collecting the flow passing through the expansion stages (2) and discharging it to the outside. The expansion stages (2) and/or the diffuser (4) have at least a non-axial symmetric portion. The stator blades (13) define different openings (17) along the circumference of the turbine.

  • Patent number: 8044824
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for implementing an electronic tollway barrier system. Exemplary systems and methods use positive vehicle identification at progressive monitoring locations to determine whether a vehicle has illegally entered a controlled lane across the electronic barrier, ensure that toll locations are not circumvented, and automatically issue citations to violators of the electronic barrier.

  • Publication number: 20090018902
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for implementing a Commuter Credit Program that allows commuters and non-commuters to generate credits that may be redeemed as cash on tollway system or for other benefits. Exemplary systems and methods identify participants or a proxy account ID at various locations on the transportation system or at other prescribed locations to qualify the participant and issue commuter credit. Similarly, exemplary systems and methods positively identify participants at various locations in the transportation system such that the credits can be used in lieu of paying cash on the tollway or at other prescribed locations to receive alternative benefits.
