Patent number: 11967294Abstract: A common electrode driver includes an inverting amplifier including a first resistor, a second resistor, and an operational amplifier, and a resistance ratio adjustment circuit that adjusts, in accordance with a length of one horizontal scan period, a resistance ratio being a ratio of a resistance value of the second resistor to a resistance value of the first resistor. A feedback voltage is provided to one end of the first resistor. The resistance ratio adjustment circuit sets the resistance ratio when second driving is performed, in which a length of one horizontal scan period is a second time longer than a first time, to be smaller than the resistance ratio when first driving is performed, in which a length of one horizontal scan period is the first time.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Sharp Display Technology CorporationInventors: Masaki Uehata, Yasuki Mori, Kohji Saitoh, Takayuki Mizunaga, Kazuya Kondoh, Takashi Nojima, Kazuhisa Yoshimoto, Kosuke Kawamoto, Hiroyuki Kito, Kazuki Nakamichi

Patent number: 6687680Abstract: Weight data of articles for sale is stored and a total weight is calculated every order. Measured weight of the prepared articles in a package is compared with the calculated total weight. If the measured weight substantially disagrees with the calculated total weight, error information is provided to the operator to correctly package the articles. Comparison may be effected every order number. An addition flag may be further stored with weight data every article to indicate that the article is a target of weight measuring. A non-addition key indicating that the corresponding article is not packaged may be further provided. When the non-addition key is depressed, the weight of the corresponding article is not included in the total weight. The total weight may be printed on the receipt, so that the operator can compare the printed total weight with the measured weight. The total weight may be printed with bar codes. A balance has a bar code reader for comparison.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2000Date of Patent: February 3, 2004Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kesayoshi Iguchi, Hiroyuki Tanaka, Masanobu Shigeno, Takashi Kondoh, Kazuya Murakami, Toshiaki Aoki, Hidenori Endoh, Seigo Ozaki, Tetsuya Kojima, Yoshio Ishibashi
