The Pop-up Camera Patent Filed by Xiaomi Gets Authorized

Nov 22, 2022

Xiaomi has filed a new patent for the pop-up camera module in smartphones. The concept of pop-up cameras isn’t any new thing in the smartphone market, however, the one patented recently by Xiaomi has an altogether different kind of working mechanism. The new mechanism allows the full-screen display of the device to be utilized properly without any harm. Let’s further dive deep into the information to check what really Xiaomi is planning for!

Xiaomi Mobile Software Co., Ltd. recently obtained authorization for a new patent, which was then approved and published on the China Patent Publication Announcement of the State Intellectual Property Office with the permitted announcement number CN217883600U, according to a recent report shared by ITHome. It was listed as “a camera mobile mechanism and electrical equipment” in the patent.

According to the description, the current disclosure relates to electronic devices and a moving mechanism for cameras. A transmission mechanism is a part of the camera-moving mechanism. A connected power input end, a planar linkage mechanism, and a power output end make up the transmission mechanism. The driving part is used to drive the power output end to move between the first position and the second position through the power input end and the planar linkage mechanism, driving the camera to move. The driving part is used to drive the power output end to move between the first position and the second position.

The complete screen of the electronic device can be realised while still allowing for normal use of the camera without endangering the integrity of the display panel. The mechanical construction used to move the camera is straightforward and dependable, and it also has an easy-to-use interface and cheap operating costs.

Since the transmission mechanism uses a planar link mechanism to transmit power, the overall movement of the transmission mechanism is located in one plane, according to the patent specification, which reduces the thickness of the electronic device using the camera moving mechanism and helps to realise light and thin electronic equipment.

Nov 22, 2022

LG has announced the first 1440p OLED monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate, the UltraGear 27GR95QE-B. The impressive specs of the UltraGear OLED monitor mean that it will be a great product for gaming enthusiasts. It is an affordable, medium-sized monitor with a high refresh rate and a response time of 0.3ms.

The announcement of the LG UltraGear was done quietly by the South Korean tech powerhouse and its details were displayed on its website. Lots more details could be provided to illuminate the remarkable OLED monitor. Its ultra-high refresh rate of 240Hz is a catchy feature for the monitor. We expect the full specs sheet of the LG UltraGear 27GR95QE-B to be very impressive.

As per the available specs, the LG UltraGear has a 27-inch display and 98.5% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The OLED panel boasts a contrast ratio of 1.5 million: 1. The monitor is certified for AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync but lacks hardware acceleration for both. The monitor has an adjustable stand that can get up to 11cm. It also features 20 degrees swivel both horizontally and vertically. The monitor also has RGB on the outside with several connectivity options available. There are two HDMI ports and one DisplayPort (versions not stated for both HDMI and DisplayPort). It also has two USB 3.0 ports (up and downstream) and a SPDIF audio jack.

Before now, most OLED monitors feature 120Hz refresh rates, and a few offered up to 175Hz like the LG 34-inch ultrawide OLEDS with 3440 x 1440 p resolution. Corsair could release a 240Hz refresh rate monitor soon but LG has nicked the top prize with the UltraGear OLED. It is a small and nimble monitor that offers sufficient capacity to display competitive FPS games seamlessly.

The gaming monitor will retail for $999 which is pretty affordable when compared to most OLED monitors in the market. There is no definitive launch date for the new monitor yet, but we could get more details during CES 2023 in January. The LG UltraGear 27GR95QE-B OLED monitor could enter the market within Q1 2023.

Chevy Bolt as a Domino's delivery vehicle

More than 100 Bolt EVs are arriving at select franchise and corporate stores throughout the US this month, with another 700 due by the end of 2023. If you’re curious to see how the Bolt EVs are distributed in each state, there is a dedicated section for that on Domino’s website. Click here to access the site.

“Domino’s has always been on the cutting edge of pizza delivery, and electric delivery cars make sense as vehicle technology continues to evolve. We’ve made a commitment to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and this is one way we can begin reducing our environmental impact, one delivery at a time,” said Russell Weiner, Domino’s CEO.

The Bolt stands out for being one of the most cost-effective and efficient EVs on sale. Domino’s says that a fleet of EVs will not only have service and maintenance benefits, but will also help the company attract delivery drivers who don’t have their own car.
