  • Publication number: 20250147913
    Abstract: A transmission driver for serial communication includes first multiplexing circuitry configured to partially serialize a data group into data subgroups based on an in-phase clock, and to delay a quadrature clock corresponding to the in-phase clock. The delay is based on latency of the partial serialization. The transmission driver also includes second multiplexing circuitry having a source-series terminated (SST) driver configured to serialize the data subgroups into a serial data stream based on the delayed quadrature clock. The first multiplexing circuitry may be configured to partially serialize the data group into the data subgroups by arranging a four-bit data group into a pair of two-bit data groups, and the second multiplexing circuitry may be configured to serialize the data subgroups into the serial data stream by arranging the pair of two-bit data groups into the serial data stream.

  • Publication number: 20240277297
    Abstract: A human balance sensor for assessing the risk of the user falling includes a transparent glass plate, a latex sheet located on the top surface of the glass plate, a light source located so as to inject light into edge of the glass plate and a high resolution camera located below the glass plate so as to capture light diffused from the glass plate when pressure is applied thereto by the user's foot. Based on the principle of Frustrated Total Internal Reflection (FTIR), when user stands with his feet on the glass plate a condition of total internal reflection is eliminated at pressure locations due to the pressure from the feet, and diffused light passes from the bottom surface of the glass plate and forms a haptic image of the contact area of the feet which can be analyzed over time to determine the user's ability to balance, and hence their risk of a fall.

  • Publication number: 20240142061
    Abstract: Disclosed is an anti-leakage device for a hydrogen storage container. A sealing assembly is connected to a right side of a tank body of an anti-leakage device, an impurity removing assembly is connected to a lower side of the tank body, and the impurity removing assembly is connected to the sealing assembly. By adopting the technical solution above, if the leakage occurs from the hydrogen storage container, hydrogen leaks into an inner cavity of the tank body, and an anti-leakage effect is achieved by intercepting and collecting the hydrogen. With the increase of the amount of hydrogen collected in the inner cavity of the tank body, an air pressure in the tank body increases, and a high-pressure gas pushes a first linkage block and a sealing sleeve to move to the right, making the contact between the sealing sleeve and a first cylinder closer.
