    摘要: Various systems and methods for LCD backlight control are disclosed herein. For example, some embodiments of the present invention provide an LCD backlight circuit with an analog inverter circuit that provides a drive voltage to a lamp. A current traversing the lamp is sensed and provided to a digital control circuit. Based on the sensed current, the digital control circuit generates a control signal that is fed back to the analog inverter circuit. In some cases, the digital control circuit is used to cause a gradual increase in voltage applied to the lamp to achieve ignition of the lamp. In other cases, the digital control is used to provide a pre-distorted sine wave that attenuates one or more harmonics introduced into the system by the non-linearities of the lamp.

    摘要: A technique that reduces or eliminates the non-linearities associated with the internal feedback sensor used in a micro-electro-mechanical mirror assembly. Using the relatively linear response of the mirror positioning motor, associated driver electronics, and the mirror itself, a calibration is performed that compensates for the internal feedback sensor non-linearity. An expected position can then be calculated simply by multiplying the gain of the system by the output, due to the good inherent linearity in the system. The calibration will compare measured versus expected position criteria for a predefined set of constant outputs. The data will form a look-up table that will be used to correct for the sensor non-linearities.

    摘要: A disk drive and method of optimizing data access time by selecting a seek profile and/or settle criteria based on a queued or non-queued environment. The disk drive includes an actuator and a servo system, wherein the servo system is directed to move the actuator as a result of an input/output command received from a host by an interface processor. The disk drive may execute the input/output commands in a queued or non-queued environment. The servo system commands the actuator to perform a seek using a seek profile and defines settling criteria for the seek operation. The seek profile includes an acceleration profile and a deceleration profile. The method includes the step of providing a queued seek profile and a queued settling criteria for a seek used to position the actuator to execute a command in a queued environment. A non-queued seek profile and a non-queued settling criteria are defined for a seek used to position the actuator to execute a command in a non-queued environment, the non-queued seek profile being different than the queued seek profile. Seeks are performed using the queued seek profile and settling criteria and the non-queued seek profile and settling criteria. Optionally, the queued settling criteria is different than the non-queued settling criteria.

    摘要: A method of adjusting a MEMS mirror control system is provided to calibrate a MEMS mirror control system to a particular MEMS mirror in a fashion that optimizes MEMS mirror control loop performance. This calibration is implemented by measuring the gain and resonant frequency of the particular MEMS mirror, and adjusting one or more of the parameters used in the implementation of a PID controller, a state estimator, and a feed forward component used to perform seeks.

    摘要: A method of eliminating the non-linearities associated with the remote feedback sensor, such as a quad position detector, used in a micro-electro-mechanical (MEM) mirror assembly. The incoming beam transmitted from a remote optical wireless link is first polarized, and then a single detector is employed to detect the polarization for the receiver. The single detector eliminates the non-linearity associated with a quad position detector, since the space between the quad detectors is eliminated.

    摘要: A method that allows an optical wireless communication link between transmitting and receiving stations to be established and used reliably without the need for position sensing capabilities. A small random nudge of the center of the acquisition spiral is used to prevent a link from being established before proper alignment is attained or to correct the alignment of an established link which does not have sufficient alignment to maintain a high bandwidth link.

    摘要: A system and method 100 of using residual feedback in a control loop in a manner that substantially eliminates the steady state error in the predicted states that results from the mismatch in gain between the plant and the model. The control effort used by the estimator to predict the next position is modified to compensate for this difference in gain. By integrating the residual, and modifying the apparent control effort accordingly, the residual is driven to have a mean value of zero. When the residual goes to zero, by definition, the steady state error in the position state goes to zero; and to the extent that the model matches the plant, the velocity state also approaches zero such that the steady state error in the predicted states are substantially eliminated, allowing for improved control.

    摘要: A method of moving a MEM system mirror in a well defined trajectory that allows longer seeks to be used to reach a target position as compared with known methods that employ small step sizes due to lack of well defined seek trajectories. One method uses the same seek trajectory (scaled in amplitude for seek length) for both axes (x-axis and y-axis) associated with the MEM mirror. This forces both axes to take the same length of time and to use the same “shape” to perform the move, and results in a straight line path between two points. Multiple straight line moves can be employed to provide a more complex trajectory. Another method uses a different trajectory with the same length, but a different shape, for each axis to force the MEM mirror along substantially any desired path such as an arc and/or straight line, among others.

    摘要: A method that does not rely on signal strength for detecting the presence of a broken optical wireless link. The method controls the packet transfer rate in a manner that minimizes both network overhead and computational requirements. Upon completion of the acquisition process, the control packet transfer rate is significantly reduced, since a high control packet transmission rate is only necessary during the acquisition process in order to expedite the acquisition process. The need for reacquisition is based, for example, on the number of consecutive missing packets, or the rate of missing versus received packets.
