Abstract: A foldable light shade and privacy shade visor (10) for electronic device screens (8), particularly for use on laptops, electronic tablets and devices, is constructed of three semi-rigid panels (11, 12, 13) with four molded plastic and rubber clips (18a, 18b) integrated into its surface. The areas between the three panels form flexible hinges (14, 15) allowing the shade (10) to fold open when in use and fold flat for carrying. The integrated plastic and rubber clips are used to attach the visor to the edges of the device screen securely. The shade (10) allows the electronic device (9) to be used in direct sunlight, artificial light and ambient light by preventing light rays and glare from diminishing the view of the screen, while also preventing the device from overheating in the warmth generated by intense light, and providing privacy by shielding the contents of the screen (8) from the view of third parties.

Patent EP-3974847-A1 (EP)
Inventor: YE SHAOLI
IPC: G01R27/28
Filed: 2021-09-27
Abstract: The disclosure relates to accurately determining a DC energy signal, such as a DC current or DC voltage, which may be particularly useful when controlling a formation/testing current of a battery cell during formation and/or testing. In the battery formation/testing context, a current sensor is used to measure the current of the battery cell, which is used as a feedback signal for controlling the current to achieve a target current. The transfer function of the current sensor is used to improve the accuracy of the current measurement. Because the transfer function can be regularly determined during formation/testing, a lower-cost current sensor with relatively poor temperature coefficient may be used. Any change in the gain of the current sensor may be detected by the transfer function determination and corrected for. Therefore, high current control accuracy may be achieved at lower cost.
