Method and apparatus for detecting two simultaneous touches and gestures on a resistive touchscreen

Resistive touchscreen system has substrate and coversheet with first and second conductive coatings. The substrate and coversheet are positioned proximate each other such that the first conductive coating faces the second conductive coating. The substrate and coversheet are electrically disconnected with respect to each other in the absence of a touch. First set of electrodes is formed on the substrate for establishing voltage gradients in first direction. Second set of electrodes is formed on the coversheet for establishing voltage gradients in second direction wherein the first and second directions are different. Controller biases the first and second sets of electrodes in first and second cycles and senses a bias load resistance associated with at least one of the sets of electrodes. The bias load resistance has a reference value associated with no touch. A decrease in the bias load resistance relative to the reference value indicates two simultaneous touches.

Electret condensor microphone preamplifier that is insensitive to leakage currents at the input

A preamplifier having extremely high input impedance amplifies the electrical signal output from an electret condenser microphone (ECM) without suffering from the effects of a DC leakage current at the input. The preamplifier circuit includes a pair of cross-coupled PN junction diodes setting the input impedance, a PMOS device, and a load resistor configured similarly to a conventional preamplifier. A capacitor is placed between the input and the cross-coupled diodes such that a DC path no longer exists to bias the cross-coupled diodes. Therefore, leakage currents are prevented from upsetting the DC operating point of the preamplifier and biasing the cross-coupled diodes. Consequently, small signal gain distortion, excessive demodulation products and increased noise can be avoided.

Low-voltage differential-signalling output buffer with pre-emphasis

A low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) output buffer has an improved eye pattern. The LVDS buffer has two parallel stages. A primary stage generates enough current to generate a first voltage drop across a load resistor. At higher frequencies, parasitic capacitive coupling reduces this first voltage drop, closing the eye pattern. A boost stage generates an additional boost current through the load resistor, adding to the voltage drop and opening the eye pattern. The boost stage is coupled to the outputs by link transistors that are enabled by a pre-emphasis signal generated by resetable pulse generators. When outputs switch, the pre-emphasis signal pulses the link transistors on, adding the boost current. At high frequencies, the pulse generators are reset before the pre-emphasis signal ends. The boost current is continuously added at high frequencies, but at low frequencies the boost current only occurs during the pre-emphasis period after outputs switch.

It is a problem to provide a light-emitting device capable of obtaining a constant brightness without being affected by deterioration in an organic light-emitting layer or temperature change, and of making desired color display. The lowering in OLED brightness due to deterioration is reduced by causing the OLED to emit light while keeping constant the current flowing through the OLED instead of causing the OLED to emit light while keeping constant the OLED drive voltage. Namely, OLED brightness is controlled not by voltage but by current thereby preventing against the change in OLED brightness due to deterioration of OLED. Specifically, the drain current Id of a transistor for supplying a current to the OLED is controlled in a signal line drive circuit thereby keeping constant the drain current Id without relying upon the value of a load resistance.
