  • Publication number: 20150212120
    Abstract: A device includes an integrated circuit programmed with an operating surface equation. The operating surface equation may define an operating point as a function of operating voltage, operating frequency, and leakage current. The operating surface equation may be generated by fitting a surface equation to data for operating voltage and operating frequency versus leakage current for a plurality of test integrated circuits. An operating voltage of the integrated circuit at a given operating frequency may be determined by the operating surface equation and a leakage current value fused into the device.

  • Patent number: 9057979
    Abstract: An apparatus for and method of forming images. The apparatus includes a photosensitive member, a charging member configured to electrify a surface of the photosensitive member to a predetermined electric potential, an exposure member configured to form an electrostatic latent image on the electrified surface of the photosensitive member, and a developing member configured to develop a toner image on the surface of the photosensitive member on which the electrostatic latent image is formed. The developing member converts a toner disposed near the photosensitive member into a cloud state using ultrasonic oscillation and adheres the cloud-state toner to the electrostatic latent image due to a bias voltage applied between the developing member and the photosensitive member.

  • Publication number: 20140316731
    Abstract: A binning process uses curve fitting to create and assign one or more bins based on testing data of operating voltage versus leakage current for test integrated circuits. Each bin is created by assigning an initial operating voltage to the bin and fitting a curve to the testing data population. An equation is generated describing the fitted curve. Integrated circuits are binned by measuring the leakage current at a selected operating voltage and testing the integrated circuit at one or more operating voltages determined based on the fitted curves. The integrated circuits are assigned a maximum operating voltage that corresponds to the lowest tested operating voltage at which the integrated circuit passes the test.

  • Patent number: 8665193
    Abstract: An OCB (Optically Compensated Bend) liquid crystal display in which impulse driving is performed such that an impulse data voltage is applied between normal data voltages used for displaying an image. The impulse data voltage is divided into a first impulse data voltage and a second impulse data voltage having a voltage value that will not break a bent alignment of the OCB liquid crystals. Referring to the application of the first impulse data voltage between the normal data voltages as first impulse driving and the application of the second impulse data voltage between the normal data voltages as second impulse driving, the second impulse driving is performed at every two or more of the first impulse drivings, so as to not break the bent alignment of the liquid crystals and to thereby improve luminance of the LCD.
