  • Patent number: 11393372
    Abstract: A system for creating a broad spectrum lighting apparatus for illuminating a subject. The system includes a lighting panel formed by an array of colored light emitting diodes (LEDs) representing pixels corresponding to red pixels, green pixels, blue pixels, and pixels corresponding to at least color other than red, green or blue. A control interface converts a video signal consisting of red, green, blue (RGB) data into a full spectrum light display including all of the LEDS to create a higher quality white than would have been possible with only RGB LEDs.

  • Patent number: 11308881
    Abstract: The present application discloses a current-driven display device capable of preventing a decrease in display quality due to luminance gradient or the like caused by a voltage drop in a power supply line while preventing an increase in circuit and processing necessary for driving a pixel circuit. In an organic EL display device, at a connection point of a high-level power supply line ELVDD with a pixel circuit 15 (Pix(n,k)) (n=1 to N; k=1 to M) on each branch wire ELVk, a display control circuit calculates a voltage drop ?Vn=V0?Vn caused by a current flowing in the branch wire ELVk in a data write period for the pixel circuit Pix(n,k), corrects corresponding pixel data (pixel data for Pix(n,k)) dn in input image data based on the voltage drop ?Vn, and generates a driving image data signal Sdda to be given to a data-side drive circuit based on the corrected pixel data dcn.

  • Patent number: 11302039
    Abstract: A model constructed by a training process using the technique of deep learning using the training data including images created from a large number of chromatograms and correct peak information is previously stored in a trained model storage section. When chromatogram data for a target sample acquired with an LC measurement unit are inputted, an image creator converts the chromatogram into an image and creates an input image in which one of the two areas divided by the chromatogram curve as the boundary in the image is filled. A peak position estimator inputs the pixel values of the input image into a trained model using a neural network, and obtains the position information of the starting point and/or ending point of the peak and a peak detection confidence as the output. A peak determiner determines the starting point and/or ending point of each peak based on the peak detection confidence.
