  • Patent number: 10931372
    Abstract: A dual-mode imaging receiver (DMIR) can acquire and maintain SOA free-space optical communication (FSOC) links without a precision mechanical gimbal. Unlike other FSOC technologies, a DMIR can operate without precise spatial alignment and calibration of the transmitter's or receiver's spatial encoders (precision pointing) in static (fixed point to point) geometries. Instead, a DMIR uses electronic receive beam selection to acquire and track transmitters with coarse mechanical pointing and a single aperture. And because the DMIR can operate with just one aperture, it does not need a beacon at the transmitter since it does not transition from a wide field-of-view acquisition aperture to a narrow field-of-view detection and decoding aperture even in dynamic geometries.

  • Patent number: 10803809
    Abstract: Disclosed are a gate driving circuit, a driving method thereof, and a display device which comprises the gate driving circuit. In the gate driving circuit, the Qn node in the nth stage circuit is precharged when an output signal of a Qn?1 node in a previous stage driving circuit and an output signal of a Qn+1 node in a next stage driving circuit are both in a high-level state. Both the Qn?1 node and the Qn+1 node are at low levels when the gate driving circuit is in an All Gate On display state, and thus a possibility of current leakage from the Qn node can be substantially reduced.
