Abstract: A stepwise expansion mechanism, can be extended and shortened stepwise by
a push or touch on it. The mechanism is shortened stepwise by pushing an outer
slider (101) or an inner slider (102) against a force of an expanding device (117).
During this process the sliders slide on each other and a pawl (103) is sequentially
engaged in recesses (110a) to (110c) to enable it to be shortened stepwise. On the
other hand, if the outer slider (101) or inner slider (102) is further pushed in the
shortest state, a guide (111) is actuated to inhibit the pawl from entering the recesses,
and such a state is maintained by another device. As a result, the expanding device
allows the sliders to slide on each other in such a manner that the expansion
mechanism is extended.

Abstract: A construction system where elements have connection components for a ball-to-socket or socket-to-socket connection. The ball-to-socket connection "locks" at orientations when one or more detents in the interior of the socket protrude into one or more of a plurality of dimples on the ball. The construction elements generally have an elongated body with a dimpled ball at one end and a socket at the other end, or dimpled balls at both ends, or sockets at both ends. In addition to the ball-and-socket connection, elements may connect in a socket-to-body connection, or a number of different types of socket-to-socket connections. The socket has at least two petals with a lip contour such that in one type of socket-to-socket connection the pair of sockets interlock to form a sphere. The irregular shape of the lip of the socket allows a ball to be leveraged out of a socket, and make orientations over at least 2 pi  steradians available in a ball-to-socket interconnection.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display is disclosed in which a TFT is
formed by forming on a substrate (10), a gate electrode (11),
a gate insulation film (13), an a-Si layer (14), an etching
stopper (15), an (N + a-Si) layer (16), a source electrode (17),
and a drain electrode (18) in this sequence. Covering this
TFT, an inter-layer insulation film (20) is formed, on which
a pixel electrode (22) is then formed. In a common electrode
(31), there is formed an orientation control window (32)
where no electrodes are situated. With this arrangement, it
is possible to prevent the orientation of liquid crystal
molecules from being disturbed due to the influence of
electric fields generated by the gate electrode (11), the
drain electrode (18), or their respective associated lines.
As a result, the orientation of liquid crystal molecules is
effectively controlled through electric fields generated in
the sloped direction around the edges of the pixel electrode
(22) and orientation control window (32), thereby obtaining
preferable pixel dividing and a wider range of visibility.
