  • Patent number: 11537739
    Abstract: The present application is related to system and method for analyzing confidential data. Firstly, a first key is used to obtain a first analysis authorization for proceeding a first analysis responsive to an operational model in an encrypted cloud space with a connection of a network. Then, the result of the first analysis is verified. While the verifying of the operational model is pass, a second key is used to obtain a second analysis authorization for proceeding a second analysis responsive to an operational model without the connection of the network. Thereby, the cloud technique for analyzing data can be applied for analyzing confidential data.

  • Patent number: 10991290
    Abstract: Control methods of a channel setting module applied to a display panel are provided. The display panel has gate lines, source lines, and pixels. The pixels are arranged in matrix. The pixels disposed at the same row are electrically connected to the same gate line, and the pixels disposed at the same column are electrically connected to the same source line. The adoption of the channel setting module reduces the control signals required by the source lines. The channel setting module includes operational amplifiers and de-mux switches, and the control methods dynamically determine conduction states of the de-mux switches. The voltage outputs of the operational amplifiers are selectively outputted to the source lines, depending on conduction statuses of the de-mux switches. By applying the control methods, the interference between the source lines are reduced, and the instantaneous overshoots/undershoots of floating channels are depressed.
