20160085350 | TOUCH INPUT DEVICE - A touch sensor input device includes a first and second array of electrodes, the electrodes in the first array being orthogonal to the electrodes in the second array. A capacitor sensing arrangement senses an electrode capacitance signal which varies in the presence of a touch input. The capacitance signals for groups of electrodes in each array are combined in order to derive respective individual sense signals. This arrangement has electrodes with a finer resolution than the sensing resolution, and this gives improved ability to sense accurately the position of the touch input. | 03-24-2016 |

20090167422 | TRANSISTOR OUTPUT CIRCUIT AND METHOD - A transistor circuit is provided. The transistor circuit includes a first output transistor, a second output transistor, and a switch arrangement. The first and second output transistors are arranged for providing an output signal to a common output of the transistor circuit. The switch arrangement couples an output of the first output transistor and the output of the second output transistor to the common output in sequence. The first and second output transistors are controlled to provide the same steady state output. The switch arrangement is adapted such that when the output of the first output transistor is coupled to the common output, changes in drive conditions voltage of the first output transistor are isolated from the second output transistor. | 07-02-2009 |

20100308845 | CURRENT MEASUREMENT CIRCUIT AND MEASURING METHOD THEREOF - A current measurement circuit for measuring a current is provided. The current measurement circuit includes a current integrating unit with a capacitor array, a comparator coupled to the current integrating unit, and a control unit coupled to the comparator and the current integrating unit. The current integrating unit integrates the current on the capacitor array to obtain an input voltage. The comparator compares the input voltage with a specific voltage to generate a compare output. The control unit generates a control signal to apply to the capacitor array of the current integrating unit according to the compare output. A magnitude of the current is obtained according to the control signal and the capacitance of the capacitor array. | 12-09-2010 |
20110227815 | PWM precharge of organic light emitting diodes - Methods for PWM precharging of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been disclosed. Image quality has been improved by including the light generated during pre-charge phase is included in the overall budget. The approach invented is especially beneficial to displays using Multi-Line Algorithms (MLA). Constant discharge time for anodes, discharging the anodes to just below the luminance level saves power by reducing the pre-charge requirements for the next driving phase. High impedance terminal (HiZ) discharge is performed after a fixed discharge of anodes. | 09-22-2011 |

20090167364 | CURRENT SAMPLING METHOD AND CIRCUIT - A current sampling circuit including a current sampling transistor, a capacitor arrangement between the gate and source of the current sampling transistor and an amplifier provided in a feedback loop between the gate and source of the current sampling transistor. A switch controls the circuit to sample a gate-source voltage corresponding to a current being sampled onto the capacitor arrangement. The capacitor arrangement comprises a first capacitor circuit for sampling a gate source voltage in a first sampling phase and a second capacitor circuit, with the first and second capacitor circuits arranged for together sampling the gate source voltage in a second sampling phase. The operating point of the amplifier is shifted between the first and second phases based on the gate source voltage sampled in the first sampling phase. | 07-02-2009 |

20100077188 | EMERGENCY FILE PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES - Disclosed is a method, system, and computer readable medium for completing critical write functions to a non-volatile memory (NVM) system within an electronic device upon experiencing a sudden or unexpected loss of the main power to the electronic device. A sudden loss of main external power is detected and determined if the loss of power crosses a minimum threshold level. If it does, an interrupt is generated to prevent new write requests. One embodiment uses a software interrupt and another embodiment uses a hardware interrupt. A switch over to a short term reserve internal power source occurs and the NVM write function in progress at the time of the power loss is completed. Upon completion of the NVM write operation, less critical shutdown activities can commence. | 03-25-2010 |

20100050014 | DUAL INDEPENDENT NON VOLATILE MEMORY SYSTEMS - Disclosed is a method, system, and computer readable medium for restoring a failed non-volatile memory (NVM) system in a wireless device having a primary NVM system and a secondary NVM system. The method does not require a reboot of the wireless device. A NVM manager application detects a failure in either of the NVM systems and determines which NVM system has failed. If the primary NVM system has failed then the NVM manger switches the wireless device to operate using the secondary NVM system, restores the primary NVM system using data from the secondary NVM system, then switches the wireless device back to the primary NVM system once it has been restored. If the secondary NVM system has failed then the NVM manager restores the secondary NVM system using data from the primary NVM system. | 02-25-2010 |
20100146188 | REPLICATED FILE SYSTEM FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES - Disclosed is a method, system, and computer readable medium for correcting corrupted data in an embedded file system (EFS) within a non-volatile memory (NVM) system. The NVM System further includes a replicated file system (RFS). A memory comparison is performed between EFS memory sectors and corresponding RFS memory sectors to identify any RFS memory sectors that are out of sync with their corresponding EFS memory sectors. Those memory sectors that are out of sync are then erased and rewritten. | 06-10-2010 |
