摘要:
The present disclosure generally relates to gamma bus wiring techniques that saves space in a display such as a liquid crystal display. In certain embodiments, a voltage offset associated with gamma bus amplifiers configured to provide analog voltage levels to a pixel may reduce at least some of the visual performance characteristics of the attached display when it transitions between different voltage values provided by different gamma bus amplifiers. The voltage offsets associated with the gamma bus amplifiers may be distributed between multiplexers that are coupled to gamma bus amplifiers by interlacing the wires routed from a resistor string to the multiplexers.

Systems and methods for manufacturing a display panel or other patterned device using outer resistive trace(s) patterned on the display panel or other patterned device are provided. Such a system, for example, may include resistance detection circuitry, a grinder, and data processing circuitry. The resistance detection circuitry may detect a resistance of a resistive trace disposed around a display panel. The grinder may grind a first edge of the display panel such that at least part of the resistive trace is grinded away as the first edge of the display panel is grinded. The data processing circuitry may control the grinder to stop grinding the first edge of the display panel when the resistance of the at least one resistive trace increases to a particular resistance value.

Also provided by the invention are effector assemblies that include the integrated circuits, as well as implantable medical devices, e.g., pulse generators that include the same, as well as systems and kits thereof and methods of using the same, e.g., in pacing applications, including cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) applications.
摘要:
Apparatus and methods enable robust, reliable control for implantable medical devices, including cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators and cardiac resynchronization devices. Integrated circuits in the devices have minimized interfaces, can derive power from the interface signals, and have high voltage and latch-up protection. A device lead has a power generation circuit and a switching circuit using cascaded PMOS transistors for operating with a stable voltage despite fluctuations in the supplied voltage. The lead has control electronics that provide a very low impedance between an electrode and a lead conductor during most of the duration of a pacing pulse, but during a brief initial portion of the pacing pulse, provide a very high impedance to permit charging up a power supply that is local to the control electronics. A method of stabilizing the external impedance and a system for fault detection and fault recovery for an implantable device are also provided.
