Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing video pictures, the video
pictures consisting of pixels digitally coded, the digital code word determining
the length of the time period during which the corresponding pixel of a display
is activated, wherein to each bit of a digital code word a certain activation
duration called sub-field is assigned, the sum of the duration of the sub-fields
according to a given code word determining the length of the time period
during which the corresponding pixel is activated, said method comprising
the following steps:
     Detecting the video pictures source mode and the parity between
pictures   If the source is in film mode, distributing the total number of sub-fields
used for two frame raster in three groups of sub-fields, and   assigning to a value of a pixel, a code word that distributes the active
sub-fields period over the three sub-fields groups.   
     The invention is applicable to all kinds of displays based on the principle of
duty cycle modulation.

Abstract: Provided is a method for arranging an optical pickup system
on a deck of an optical recording and/or reproducing method to
enable detection of a tracking error signal using one
photodetector based on a three-beam method and by a
differential phase detection method. The optical pickup system
includes a light source (3), a diffractive optical element (4)
that diffracts a light beam incident from the light source (3)
and split it into at least three beams, a plate-type beam
splitter (5) that changes the propagation path of the light
beam, and a photodetector (9) including at least one main
photodetector (9a) having at least four sections and a
plurality of sub-photodetectors (9b, 9c). The optical pickup
system is also constructed so that a reflecting mirror (2)
redirects the propagation path of the light beam emitted from
the light source (3) toward a recording medium (1). The
arrangement method includes the steps of: where a propagation
path of the light beam transmitted through the plate-type beam
splitter (5) to the photodetector (9) is an optical path axis
c, arranging the optical pickup system so that the optical path
axis c is tilted with respect to an axis in the tangential
direction of the recording medium (1) and the photodetector (9)
is placed away from the rotation center of a motor for rotating
the recording medium (1); and selectively optimizing the
arrangement of the photodetector (9) to enable detection of a
tracking error signal by the differential phase detection
method.

Abstract: An adaptive cruise control module (1) for automatically bringing a vehicle to a halt
behind a target vehicle includes a look-up table (8) holding pre-computed brake demand
values for given target ranges and vehicle speeds. A controller (7) applies an appropriately
selected brake demand value to the vehicle's braking system (4) until the vehicle comes to
rest. The look-up table (8) values are computed such that the rate of deceleration and rate
of change of deceleration closely match those applied by a typical driver when manually
stopping a vehicle. A further refinement allows the vehicle to creep along behind the target
vehicle in a slowly-moving queue of traffic by providing the look-up table (8) with throttle
demand values for given target ranges for application to a throttle control system (5, 6).

Abstract: Physical barriers (210) are present between neighbouring pixels (200) on a circuit substrate (100) of an active-matrix electroluminescent display device, particularly with LEDs (25) of organic semiconductor materials. The invention forms these barriers (210) with metal or other electrically-conductive material (240), that is insulated (40) from the LEDs but connected to the circuitry within the substrate (100). This conductive barrier material (240) backs-up or replaces at least a part of the drive supply line (140,240) to which the LEDs are connected by a drive element T1. This transfers the problem of line resistance and associated voltage drop from within the circuit substrate (100), where it is severely constrained, to the much freer environment of the pixel barriers (210) on the substrate (100) where the conductive barrier material (240) can provide much lower resistance. Very large displays can be made with low voltage drops along this composite drive supply line (140,240). Furthermore, the structure can be optimised to form a smoothing capacitor (Cs) between this drive supply line (140,240) with its conductive barrier material (240) and the further supply line (230) of the LED upper electrodes (23) extending on an insulating coating (40) over the top of the conductive barrier material (240).
