It is an object to provide a display module which can display a correct gray scale by a field sequential driving method and an electronic device including the display module. One frame period is divided into a plurality of lighting periods, and in each of the plurality of lighting periods, signals are supplied to a pixel a plurality of times, whereby the transmissivity of a liquid crystal element is changed over time. Accordingly, even with the use of a liquid crystal element with low response speed as a display element, a correct gray scale can be expressed. In addition, the transmissivity of the liquid crystal element is set at 0% or a backlight is controlled not to emit light in switching of lighting of a backlight or switching of lighting periods, whereby a more correct gray scale can be expressed.

An equalizer for a multi carrier transmission system, converts a transmitted multi carrier signal into sampled frequency domain signals, and suppresses time domain delay dispersion, on the sampled frequency domain signals. It exploits circulant decomposition of a Toeplitz matrix to enable the computationally heavy evaluation of a matrix multiplied by a vector, to be avoided. Increased precision arises from the frequency domain processing being equivalent to a longer time domain FIR filter than is normally practical. The amount of compensation for different carriers can be adjusted, which can lead to increased precision.

A current which is supplied from one current source circuit to the light emitting element is constant. A value of a current flowing through the light emitting element is comparable to a value of added currents which are supplied to the light emitting element from respective all current source circuits making pairs with the switch parts which are in the conductive states.

A method of printing is described for a page-width printer including a line head having a plurality of jetting modules that are staggered in a page-width direction. In a set up procedure, a test pattern is printed using the nozzles of adjacent jetting modules, and the pattern is analyzed to detect a stitch error in the overlap regions. The results of this analysis is used to calculate a set of correction values to be applied to print data subsequently sent to nozzles of the adjacent jetting modules to make a correction for the stitch error. During a subsequent production run, the print data sent to the nozzles of the adjacent jetting modules is analyzed to sense an image content attribute, such as gray or density level, of the print data. These results of the analysis of the print data is then used to calculate a dynamic adjustment that is used to adjust the set of correction values calculated during the set up procedure. The line head is then used to print the corrected print data by applying the set of adjusted correction values to production print data subsequently sent to the jetting modules.

The invention relates to a quick calibration method for an inertial measurement unit (IMU). According to the method, a user holds and rotates the IMU to move in all directions without any external equipment, so that twelve error coefficients including gyro biases, gyro scale factors, accelerometer biases and accelerometer scale factors can be accurately calibrated in a short time. The quick calibration method for the IMU is characterized by being free of hardware cost, high in efficiency and simple and easy to implement, and can ensure certain calibration precision. Thus, the quick calibration method is especially suitable for in-situ quick calibration for the medium- and low-grade IMUs, thereby effectively solving the problem of environmental sensitivity of the error coefficients of the mechanical IMU, and promoting popularization and application of MEMS (micro-electro mechanical systems) inertial devices.

A display panel of an image display device including data lines for transmitting data voltages representing image signals, scan lines for transmitting select signals, and pixel circuits coupled to the data and scan lines. The pixel circuit includes a driver for outputting a current corresponding to a data voltage applied from the data line, and a display element for displaying an image corresponding to an amount of the current outputted by the driver. A first switch transmits the data voltage to the driver in response to a select signal, and a second switch transmits a precharge voltage to the driver in response to a first control signal. The value of the precharge voltage during a period in which the first control signal is applied to the second switch is different from the value of the precharge voltage during other periods.

In a display device having a light emitting element, an accurate setting operation needs much time, unless a current value of the signal current (video signal) is set to high value. On the contrary, the driving current value for causing a light emitting element to emit light is very small. Therefore, it is difficult to perform an accurate setting operation. However, according to the present invention, the current source circuit includes plural transistors. The plural transistors are connected in parallel when the setting operation is performed on the current source circuit, whereas the plural transistors are connected in series when the light emitting element is caused to emit light. Further, the speed of the setting operation is increased because a light emitting element is capable of emitting light with a constant luminance and a current value to set up a current source circuit is higher than a driving current value when a light emitting element emits light.

The difference between the measured performance and a nominal expected performance for each hardware performance monitor is determined. The largest of the plurality of difference signals is selected and provided to an advanced power controller for use in providing adaptive voltage scaling for the integrated circuit system.

A method of processing a received communication signal comprises calculating a traffic-to-pilot scaling factor by relating data correlations determined from despread traffic values obtained from the received communication signal-to-noise correlations determined from despread pilot values obtained from the received communication signal, and generating traffic symbol estimates by combining corresponding ones of the despread traffic values using combining weights calculated from the data correlations. Generating combining weights in this manner provides, among other things, Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) estimations for the received traffic symbols that inherently are properly scaled in amplitude relative to symbol values in a reference modulation constellation. By obtaining proper scaling as part of combining weight generation, the receiver need not make an explicit estimate of symbol power to obtain proper soft value information, and the estimated traffic symbols may be compared directly with the reference constellation.

The invention belongs to the field of foundation photoelectric observation and discloses a space object dimension acquisition method based on photoelectric observation. The method includes the steps of obtaining high-precision photometric information of a space object through observation; obtaining photometric calibration parameters through orbital calculation; performing photometric correction on the space object; calculating the dimension of the space object. The space object dimension acquisition method based on photoelectric observation overcomes the lack of observational capability on middle-orbit and high-orbit space objects in a radar method and is a method for acquiring the optical dimension of the middle-orbit and high-orbit space objects with an optical telescope system by obtaining the parameters of the optical scattering cross section indicating the dimension of the space object. Compared with a wireless method, the space object dimension acquisition method based on photoelectric observation can accurately obtain the dimension of the space object due to the fact that an optical band is longer than a radio band and not sensitive to edges and corners. The space object dimension acquisition method based on photoelectric observation can be rapidly popularized and applied to existing foundation photoelectric detection devices in China without hardware modification to form a certain capability of determining the dimension of the space object.

A mechanism for mitigating undesired color image breakup artifacts arising in display systems that exploit the principle of field sequential color generation. By suitably reducing the time interval during which image information strikes the moving retina, such that the differential position for the respective red, green, and blue components of the image falling upon the moving retina does not exceed the diameter of a retinal cone or rod, the cause of the breakup is negated and the image becomes unitary as expected: the eye sees the image as if all the components arrived at the same time. The truncation of light emission into shorter time frames necessitates a compensatory increase in imaging light intensity, such that the net amount of photonic flux striking the retina, averaged over time, remains unchanged. The mechanism can be applied to systems with discrete red, green, and blue sources as well as to color-wheel-based systems.
