Title: A system and a method for determining a relative pose between a primary winding structure and a secondary winding structure of a system for inductive power
Inventor: SOTIRIOS SOTIRIOU
IPC: H02J50/90
Filed: 2019-09-26
Abstract: A relative pose between a primary winding structure 2 and a secondary winding structure 3 of a system 1 for inductive power transfer to a vehicle 7 is determined. A first radio direction finding system has at least one transmitting device 8 and at least two receiving devices 5a, 5b for receiving a position signal transmitted from the transmitting device. A first relative pose is determined using a model-based determination, wherein input values of the model-based determination are provided at least by: output values generated by the receiving devices, upon reception of a position signal transmitted from the transmitting device; and at least one motion value of the vehicle (e.g. velocity, driving direction or steering wheel angle of the vehicle). The model-based determination may determine state variables based on the input values, with the first relative pose determined as at least one state variable. A Kalman filer may be used to determine the relative pose. A further relative pose may be determined, based on output values generated by at least two receiving devices of a further radio direction system upon reception of a position signal transmitted by at least one transmitting device of the further radio direction finding system. The relative pose may be determined by fusing the first relative pose and the further relative pose.

Title: Current sensing device and organic light emitting display device including the same
Inventor: EUNJI SONG
IPC: G09G3/3233
Filed: 2019-09-26
Abstract: A current sensing circuit may be connected to a sensing line 16 and receives a pixel current and a reference current. Resistors connected to a first node N1 set a divided voltage according to the pixel and reference current. A MOS transistor M1 is connected between the first node and a second node N2. A diode-connected MOS transistor M2 is connected to the second node and operates in a saturation region. A comparator has an inverting input terminal connected to a third node N3 (a reference voltage at the third node relates to the reference current) and a non-inverting input terminal connected to the fourth node N4 (a pixel voltage at the fourth node relates to the pixel current). In a sensing mode, the reference and pixel voltages are compared. Regardless whether pixel current is smaller or larger than reference current, voltage variation is large. Sensing resolution may be increased, errors prevented and sensing time reduced. The current sensing circuit may be used in an organic light emitting display (OLED), and a reference current source provided by dummy pixels or an integrated circuit in a data driver.

Inventor: EHUD TIROSH
IPC: G01S19/41
Filed: 2020-08-10
Abstract: A method for improving accuracy of a raw GPS positioning of an untargeted pedestrian device 12, wherein the pedestrian device receives from a nearby vehicle device 14, 14’ a message containing a calculated offset between a raw GPS location of the vehicle and a corrected location of the vehicle, the message being received as a direct consequence of the pedestrian device and the vehicle device coming into mutual communication range. The calculated offset is applied to the raw GPS positioning of the pedestrian device to obtain a more accurate location of the pedestrian device. Also disclosed is a method for filtering out fluctuation signals transmitted by a GPS satellite, the device receiving multiple GPS signals, computing a pseudo range between the device and satellite, repeating the steps to obtain successive values. When fluctuations in the pseudo ranges exceed a pre-set threshold, signals from that satellite are ignored to avoid inaccuracies.
