  • Publication number: 20240090868
    Abstract: An ultrasound scanning control method applied to an ultrasound scanning device is provided. The ultrasound scanning device includes an execution mechanism. The execution mechanism includes a mechanical arm and a probe. The ultrasound scanning control method includes controlling the mechanical arm to drive the probe to move according to a set scanning trajectory for performing an ultrasound scanning detection on a part to be examined. Once an actual pressure value between the probe and the part to be examined in each control cycle is sensed using the force sensor, a pressure value between the probe and the part to be examined is controlled to be a constant value based on the actual pressure value.

  • Patent number: 8988963
    Abstract: An intermediate circuit and method for hiding refresh confliction. The intermediate circuit includes: a first control circuit configured to generate a Command Output Enable signal CON, a Data Read Enable signal DRN and a Refresh Enable signal REFN based on the second clock, wherein a ration of duration the signal CON is in a first state to duration in a second state equals to CLK2/(CLK1-CLK2), the signal REFN has a state that is reverse to that of the signal CON and is used to refresh the DRAM; a command buffer configured to store the access commands received from the user interface and output the stored access commands to the DRAM in response to the first state of the signal CON; a data buffer configured to read data from the DRAM in response to the first state of the signal CON and output the read data.
