Abstract: The invention relates to a lateral guiding mechanism (608) for stabilizing the edges of a liquid coating curtain (618). Said lateral guiding mechanism (608) comprises a lateral guiding element (110) with a guiding surface (126) and a lateral guiding groove (122) that is recessed in the guiding surface. An auxiliary liquid which is partially mixed with the coating liquid of the coating curtain (618) and thereby stabilizes said coating curtain (618) at the edges can be conducted through said lateral guiding groove (122). The lateral guiding groove (122) is provided with at least two, advantageously even at least three separate sections (136, 138, 140), i.e. a steadying section (136) within which turbulences of the auxiliary liquid and velocity components of the auxiliary liquid perpendicular to the guiding surface (126) are leveled, a forced mixing section (138), and a guiding section (140). The auxiliary liquid is mixed by force with the coating liquid in the forced mixing section (138) before the coating liquid can be discharged from the curtain generator (610). The coating liquid is then actually guided in the guiding section (140). The lateral guiding element (110) also encompasses an auxiliary liquid inlet (124) for feeding an auxiliary liquid into the lateral guiding groove (122) as well as at least one liquid outlet (142) for accepting auxiliary liquid after the same penetrates the guiding section (122). The disclosed arrangement substantially increases the stability of the process as well as the coating quality while augmenting the maximum coating rate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a light emitting device where currents passing through scan lines have the same values. The light emitting device includes data lines, scan lines, pixels, one or more dummy data line and a cross-talk preventing circuit. The data lines are disposed in a first direction, and the scan lines are disposed in a second direction. The pixels are formed in cross areas of the data lines and the scan lines. The dummy data line is disposed in the first direction. The cross-talk preventing circuit provides a compensating current to scan line related to luminescence of the scan lines through the dummy data line so that total sum of current passing through the scan line has a desired value. In the light emitting device, currents passing through scan lines have the same values, and so a cross-talk phenomenon is not occurred to a panel.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for controlling valve (128) stiffness in a power steering system (10). The power steering includes a torsion rod (36) having a first stiffness between the pinion (14) and spool shaft (24) to resist rotation of the spool shaft (24) relative to the pinion (14) from the on-center orientation and resist movement of the valve (128) from the open configuration to the closed configuration. The power steering also includes a magnetic coupling (60) having a variable second stiffness in parallel with the torsion rod (36) to resist rotation of the spool shaft (24) relative to the pinion (14) from the on-center orientation and resist movement of the valve (128) from the open configuration to the closed configuration. The method includes the step of maximizing the variable second stiffness generated by the magnetic coupling (60) to define overall valve stiffness when the spool shaft (24) and the pinion (14) are on-center with respect to one another.
