Abstract: A transient state liquid crystal image bar (12) having enhanced contrast with lower required driving voltage. The image bar is of the type having a nematic liquid crystal cell configured as a single array of dot shutters energizable by a single frequency voltage with crossed polarizer (14) and analyzer (15). The polarizing axis of the polarizer is at 45 degrees with the liquid crystal molecules (13) in their rest state. Thus, when all the image bar shutters are energized, it is in the non-transmission condition. For bursts of light to pass, the voltage to selected dot shutters is interrupted and reapplied. In one embodiment, the improvement is achieved by an optical compensator (28) or thin prism placed between the polarizer and the liquid crystal cell. In another embodiment, a quarter-wave plate is placed between the liquid crystal cell and the analyzer, with the analyzer being rotated about the image bar's optical axis a predetermined angle from its initial crossed position with respect to the polarizer, so that there is increased extinction of the light exiting from the liquid crystal cell, when the liquid crystal material is in its normally stable energized state.

Abstract: In a graphics display system a counter for performing either a line drawing algorithm or a bit block transfer algorithm where the counter in performing the bit block transfer algorithm includes a first counter circuit counting from a first initial state to a second predetermined value and a second counter circuit counting from a second initial state to a second predetermined value. The second counter counts in response to the first counter reaching to its predetermined value. In support of a line drawing algorithm, the counter circuit reconfigures itself to provide a first counter to count from its first initial state to the first predetermined value and a second counter to compute a parameter value and to conditionally count from a second initial value to a second predetermined value in response to the value of this parameter. These counters are connected to an addressing circuit to increment the addresses in performance of the algorithms. This counter circuit capability increases the speed at which line draw functions and bit block transfer functions can be accomplished in a graphics display system processor.

Abstract: A device for detecting driving condition faced by an operator of an automobile. The device includes an automobile speed sensor, first arithmetic means, second arithmetic means and compensating means. The first arithmetic means computes a driving condition index by using automobile speed information. The second arithmetic means computes limit value changing according to the increment in the automobile speed. The compensating means compare the change amount of the driving condition index for a predetermined time period with the limit value and compensate the driving condition index in such a way that the change amount of the driving condition is limited to the limit value when the change amount exceeds the limit value in order to give the operator a natural feel of the road.

Abstract: A display technique that allows the user to input information to a computer in the form of color with character text is disclosed. The technique provides an ergonomic approach to convey information to an application program by using color to specify functions or attributes. Colors are used to reduce the number of interactions necessary to accomplish a task between the user and the application program. In many systems a command has to be typed to save a file. These commands range in size from one to many characters and require the user to key in each character and the filename. The improvement described is a technique for typing the filename in a specified color that the application interprets to mean, for example, Save the file. The technique assigns a color to data elements input to the system. The color is interpreted by the application to indicate what specific function, attribute or value should be associated with the data element. For example, if the user enters a file name with a brown background, the application interprets this to mean that the file is to be edited, and should be retrieved for editing if it exists on disk. Thus, by associating a color with the data element, the specific function to be performed has been relayed without the overhead of additional keystrokes or character information.
