DISPLAY DEVICE, NON-CONTACT KEY, AND INPUT DEVICE
The present invention provides a display device, which includes a frame having an accommodating cavity and a display module disposed in the accommodating cavity. The display module includes a first light source, an optical unit, an imaging unit arranged on a side of the optical unit facing away from the first light source, and a lens array arranged on a side of the imaging unit facing away from the first light source. Corresponding to a preset pattern, light emitted by the first light source passes through the optical unit, the imaging unit and the lens array to form a default floating image in a floating display area outside the accommodating cavity. In addition, the present invention also provides a non-contact key and an input device including the above display module.
SYSTEM FOR DETECTING A TOUCH GESTURE OF A USER, DEVICE COMPRISING THE SYSTEM, AND METHOD
System for detecting a touch gesture of a user on a detection surface, comprising: a processing unit; and an accelerometer to detect a vibration at the detection surface and generate a vibration signal. The processing unit is configured to: acquire the vibration signal, detect, in the vibration signal, a signal characteristic which can be correlated to the touch gesture of the user, detect, in the vibration signal, a stationarity condition preceding and/or following the detected signal characteristic, and validate the touch gesture in the event that both the signal characteristic and the stationarity condition have been detected. An electrostatic charge sensor may also be used as a further parameter to validate the touch gesture.

METHOD, DEVICE, AND SYSTEM FOR DELAYING SIGNALS AND MEDICAL REGISTRATION EQUIPMENT
The present disclosure provides a method, device, and system for delaying signals as well as medical registration equipment, and belongs to the field of communication technologies. The method includes: determining, based on a clock period of each level of delay clock signals, a quantity of clock periods of each level of delay clock signals that are required for delaying a drive signal by a total quantity of delay phases; and delaying the drive signal by the determined quantity of clock periods of each level of delay clock signals sequentially. Therefore, on the premise that a data volume of a to-be-delayed drive signal is fixed, compared with a method for delaying signals by directly using a register, the method according to the present disclosure not only reliably realizes signal delaying, but also effectively reduces a quantity of required registers.
Beamforming Optimization for Segmented Thin-Film Acoustic Imaging Systems Incorporated in Personal Portable Electronic Devices
An acoustic imaging system coupled to an acoustic medium to define an imaging surface. The acoustic imaging system includes an array of piezoelectric acoustic transducers formed at least in part from a thin-film piezoelectric material, such as PVDF. The array is coupled to the acoustic medium opposite the imaging surface and formed using a thin-film manufacturing process over an application-specific integrated circuit that, in turn, is configured to leverage on or more beamforming scan operations to drive the array of piezoelectric actuators to generate an image of an object at least partially wetting to the imaging surface.
DETECTING INPUT GESTURES USING ONBOARD MICROPHONES
