Title: Class D amplifier circuit
Inventor: JOHN PAUL LESSO
IPC: H03F3/217
Filed: 2014-08-29
Abstract: A class D amplifier circuit 200 includes a digital modulator 201, an error block 205, and a controller 212. The modulator controls a Class D output stage 202 based on a modulator input signal Dm to generate an output signal Vout which is representative of an input signal Din. The error block, which includes an analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) 207, generates an error signal E from the amplifier input and output signals, and the controller varies the extent to which the error signal contributes to the modulator input signal based on an indication of the amplitude of the amplifier input signal. The ADC receives an ADC input signal (Figure 4, ADCin) based on the amplifier output signal, and comprises a current-controlled oscillator (ICO) (Figure 4, 402), which may be a ring-oscillator, responsive to the input signal, and a counter (Figure 4, 403) coupled to an output of the oscillator. In alternative arrangements the error signal is selectively enabled or disabled such that the amplifier circuit operates in closed-loop or open-loop mode respectively. The feedback reduces distortion at high signal levels but is reduced at low signal levels so that the noise floor depends less on, or is independent of, the components of the error block.

Title: Vehicle bodywork display screen
Inventor: ROBERT RODRIGUES DECASTRO TURNER
IPC: G09F21/04
Filed: 2019-06-28
Abstract: A bodywork panel 13 for a vehicle, such as a racing car or a motorcycle, has an aperture fitted with one or more optically clear panels 16, which are profiled to follow the aerodynamic form of the bodywork panel. A flexible reflective display screen 17, e.g. e-paper, is mounted to an inner face of each optically clear panel 16, such that an image on the display screen 17 is visible outside the vehicle. A paint finish on the bodywork panel continues over a peripheral region of each optically clear panel, concealing a join between it and the bodywork panel. Images, e.g. advertising or sponsorship logos, displayed on the display screens via a display controller 25 can thus appear like painted graphics, except that they may be changed as desired during a race. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 13-16) motorcyclist’s leathers can be fitted with similar display screens mounted behind optically clear flexible plastic panels sewn to the leathers.
