Publication number: 20200339936Abstract: A cell mechanical stimulating device for applying to at least one cell sample is provided. The device includes a base unit, at least one moving component and at least one magnetic component. The base unit includes a base body and a separating lid. The base body includes at least one culturing chamber and a bottom chamber surface. The cell sample is disposed in the culturing chamber, and the separating lid encloses the culturing chamber. The magnetic component drives the moving component to shift between a pressurizing position and a non-pressurizing position. At the pressurizing position, the moving component moves toward the bottom chamber surface and pressurizes the cell sample. At the non-pressurizing position, the moving component moves toward the separating lid and the pressure on the cell sample is removed. The cell sample is pressurized by the magnetic component driving the moving component.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2020Publication date: October 29, 2020Applicant: China Medical UniversityInventors: Dan-Jae Lin, Ming-Tzu Tsai, Chao-Wei Hung, Yi-Tao Chang, Chun-Hsu Yao

Patent number: 10068521Abstract: A pixel driving technique for an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. A frame of image data is shifted into an OLED panel and activated for global illumination. During the time period of global illumination for the frame of image data, pixel data for a next frame of image data is buffered in a partial memory. After the period of global illumination for the frame of image data, the next frame of image data being buffered in the partial memory is read out of partial memory to the OLED panel and updates the previous frame of pixel data with the new pixel data.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: John Kaehler, Yi Tao
