The second voltage generator generates a first reference voltage based on the filtered driving voltage, the first voltage, and the second voltage. The third voltage generator generates a second reference voltage based on the filtered driving voltage, the second voltage, and the third voltage. The output circuit outputs a data signal of a voltage level corresponding to an image signal based on the first reference voltage and the second reference voltage.

Abstract: Embodiments provide anti-frost heaving supports and methods for crude oil pipeline crossing permafrost region. The anti-frost heaving support includes a support frame. An arc-shaped frame is installed on a top of the support frame. Two sets of adjusting devices are disposed on the arc-shaped frame, each set of the adjusting devices includes a pushing device fixedly installed on the arc-shaped frame. In the anti-frost heaving support, a piston plate compresses air inside the sealing frame so that a compressional force of an elastic plate and a stressed plate on the pipeline increases. When the compressional force increases, the elastic plate deforms to make a moving rod to move towards to an interior of the sealing frame. When moving on a tilted surface of a tilting plate, the moving rod pushes the tilting plate to move. The tilting plate pushes the sealing plate to be opened to release the air inside the sealing frame, thereby reducing the compressive force exerted by the stressed plate on the pipeline.

Abstract: The invention provides a portable cooler stand having a collapsed or folded configuration for transportation and an unfolded configuration for supporting cooler off the ground within easy reach of users. The stand has four support legs. The legs are positionable roughly at the corners of a rectangle, with each support leg is linked to two adjacent support legs by a pair of folding positioning members.
