An LED backlight structure and technique for setting the voltages and currents for the LEDs are described. In one embodiment, red LEDs are connected in series between a first voltage regulator and a first controllable current source, green LEDs are connected in series between a second voltage regulator and a second controllable current source, and blue LEDs are connected in series between a third voltage regulator and a third controllable current source. The current sources may linear current regulators. After all the LEDs are mounted on a printed circuit board, each voltage regulator is controlled so that there is a minimum voltage drop across the current source to minimize energy dissipation by the current source. Also, after all the LEDs are mounted on the printed circuit board, the current sources are controlled to balance the three colors to achieve a target light output of the board using a light detection chamber. In another embodiment, a constant current source is connected to the series string of LEDs. PWM controllers control transistor switches connected in parallel across groups of LEDs, where the duty cycles set the average current through each group of LEDs. The control values used to achieve the target light characteristics are then stored in a memory on the board. With such a technique, LEDs do not need to be binned to match their efficiencies, since the controllable voltage and current sources compensate for the variety of LED efficiencies. Accordingly, all boards will have the same target light output using the particular values stored on each board. In other embodiments, not all the LEDs of a particular color are connected in series. The brightness levels of the LEDs may be further controlled by a PWM controller. The backlight may be for an LCD television or other color display.

In a method and system for depalletizing tires using a robot, wherein the tires are randomly located on a carrier, the position and orientation of outer tires on the carrier are detected using a sensor, and a processor, using a signal from the sensor, determines a tire that can be gripped by a gripping tool of an industrial robot, and calculates a movement path for the gripping tool for that tire.

The procedure is repeated until a collision-free movement path for a tire from among the outer tires is established. The gripping tool is then guided according to this collision-free movement path to depalletize the tire having the collision-free path associated therewith.

Initially, “libraying” text is inserted on all scripts executed on the computer, allowing administrators to discern at a glance every script that has been executed. Furthermore, administrators can easily ascertain the results of all automatically run programs (such as overnight batch jobs) by looking in a common location rather than all over the computer. All scripts installed on a computer system are required to have the ability to generate uniform output. This output includes the script name, the time it was run, the user name and the script execution results. When a script is executed, it will write this detailed output into a predefined directory. There, a file is generated which lists all the parameters associated with the script execution. The parameters are then available for future review by administrators. Additionally, an executed script writes a summary output to a common file. This file provides a single point of reference and further provides a summary description for all activities.

A film cutting drafting device is arranged above a front roller pulling jaw of each drawing mechanism of a vortex flow spinner. A cutting region is formed between a cutting-endurable ring and a cutting roller of a film placing and cutting device.

The tail ends of short fibers are wounded around strands and short fiber head ends so that vortex compound yarns are formed with micro-nano strands uniformly mixed with the short fibers. The difficulty that filaments, nanofibers and conventional staple fibers are difficult to be mixed uniformly and twisted during vortex compound spinning is solved. Therefore, a film industry and a weaving industry are effectively merged.
