Organic light emitting display device having adjustable power supply voltage based on display brightness and ambient temperature
An organic light emitting display device includes a display panel, a display panel driver, and a power supply. The display panel includes pixels. Each of the pixels includes an organic light emitting diode configured to emit light in an emission period based on a first power supply voltage and a second power supply voltage. The display panel driver is configured to apply a scan signal, an emission control signal, and a data signal to the pixels. The power supply is configured to: generate the first power supply voltage, the second power supply voltage, and a third power supply voltage applied to the pixels in a non-emission period; and adjust a voltage level of the second power supply voltage and a voltage level of the third power supply voltage based on an ambient temperature and a brightness of the display panel.

SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
First and second circuits, a photocoupler and a substrate temperature monitor circuit are formed on a substrate. A photocoupler includes a primary-side light emitting diode that converts an electric signal received from the first circuit into an optical signal, and a light receiving device that converts the optical signal into an electric signal and outputs the electric signal to the second circuit. The substrate temperature monitor circuit reads a Vf voltage value of the primary-side light emitting diode of the photocoupler to monitor temperature of the substrate.

Method and system for detecting a poor cooling environment of an ultrasound scanner
Ultrasound scanners that are initialized and placed to the side in a sterile bag for use in a sterile environment may suffer overheating and cut out early, because the bag represents a poor cooling environment. The rate of increase in temperature of a scanner is monitored and a determination is made as to whether the scanner is in a regular environment or a poor cooling environment. If the scanner is in a poor cooling environment, the scanner is switched from a regular state of operation to a poor cooling state of operation. In the poor cooling state of operation, the scanner settings consume less power and generate less heat on the whole than the regular scanner settings. The scanner reverts to higher power settings as and when needed to perform the desired scan. The user interface on an associated display device also changes in response to the scanner entering the poor cooling state of operation.
Method for air flow fault and cause identification
Methods and systems for detecting and identifying faults in air-cooled systems are provided. The systems and methods may utilize a prediction model based on an energy balance relationship. In certain methods, one or more measured parameters associated with the air-cooled system may be compared with corresponding parameters generated by the prediction model. One or more faults may be detected and identified based upon deviations between the measured and detected system parameters.
