Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a configurable LCD driver system having a plurality of configurable LCD drivers. Each LCD driver may be configured as a common or segment driver by selecting a drive voltage from an appropriate set of drive voltages associated with a common or segment driver in accordance with certain parameters, such as whether a user may configure the LCD driver as a common driver or segment driver, a multiplex ratio, and/or bias ratio of an LCD panel. The drive time and drive strength associated with the LCD driver may also be configurable. The selected drive voltage may be provided to a drive buffer to output an LCD drive voltage waveform for driving one or more segments or pixels in an LCD panel. A memory may store appropriate display data for both the segment and common drivers to control the output drive capability of the LCD driver.

Abstract: A compressor system (20, 20′, 20″) comprises a motion amplifier (22) which acts through a compressor head or piston (46) to compress fluid in a variable compression chamber (52). The motion amplifier (22) comprises a piezoelectric diaphragm (30) and drive electronics (26) for applying a drive signal to the piezoelectric diaphragm. The drive signal is generated to maintain the motion amplifier resonant at a predetermined frequency. The motion amplifier preferably comprises (in addition to the piezoelectric diaphragm) a reaction mass (34) connected to the piezoelectric diaphragm; a reacted mass (40) connected to the piezoelectric diaphragm; and, a reacted mass spring (50, 270) for resiliently carrying the reacted mass. The structure of the motion amplifier carried by the reacted mass spring (e.g., the piezoelectric diaphragm, the reaction mass, and the reacted mass) has a resonant frequency f2. The resonant frequency f2 is related to a spring constant K2 of the reacted mass spring and a sum of masses of the reaction mass and the reacted mass. Preferably the predetermined frequency is f2, which means that the drive signal is generated to maintain the motion amplifier resonant at a frequency f2, e.g., the drive signal is generated to urge the motion amplifier to the frequency f2 as its operational frequency. Driving the motion amplifier (22) at the frequency f2 achieves peak amplitude displacement of the motion amplifier, and thus peak displacement of the compressor head acting in the compression chamber.

Abstract: A golf club head has a face insert the effective resiliency of which varies across a striking surface on a front face of the club head. The face insert, which is disposed in a cavity formed in the club head, is supported from beneath by a substrate which is formed of one or more materials to form a low resiliency region near a central of the cavity and a high resiliency region near heel and toe regions of the cavity. By varying the resiliency of the substrate behind the face insert, the effective resiliency, which is a composite of the face insert and the substrate, may be manipulated so that the effective coefficient of restitution between the club head and a golf ball may be made uniform across the entire front face.
