Patent EP-0788014-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MITZUTOME ATSUSHI
IPC: G02F1/1343
Filed: 1997-01-30
Abstract: A display apparatus is constituted to have a
multiplicity of pixels each divided into at least two
sub-pixels having mutually different areas including a
larger sub-pixel having a larger area and a smaller
sub-pixel having a smaller area. Each sub-pixel is
provided with a transparent electrode and a low-resistivity
conductor connected to the transparent
electrode, and the low-resistivity conductor for the
larger sub-pixel is set to have a lower resistance
than the low-resistivity conductor for the smaller
sub-pixel. As a result, a pixel switching
characteristic can be uniformized over an entire
picture area of the display apparatus regardless of
different areas (loads) of the sub-pixels and without
using different performances of drivers.

Abstract: Amplifier means 5a, 5b e.g. an operational amplifier, for a phase-locked loop employing charge pump 7 for synthesizing RF channels permits a low supply voltage to be used by splitting the amplifier into two stages 5a, 5b. The output at 5a may be a high impedance common emitter pair of complementary transistors allowing a wide voltage swing and part 5b may be an operational amplifier with resistive feedback to provide gain less than unity and a low impedance output to provide feedback around the loop filter to source the current from charge pump 7 entering inverting input of the first stage 5a. Alternatively, stages 5a, 5b may be reversed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for encoding and transferring
data from a transmitter to a receiver, using the human body as a
transmission medium. The transmitter includes an electric field
generator, a data encoder which operates by modulating the electric
field, and electrodes to couple the electric field through the human
body. The receiver includes electrodes, in physical contact with, or
close proximity to, a part of the human body, for detecting an electric
field carried through the body, and a demodulator for extracting the data
from the modulated electric field. An authenticator, connected to the
receiver, processes the encoded data and validates the authenticity of
the transmission. The apparatus and method are used to identify and
authorize a possessor of the transmitter. The possessor then has secure
access to, and can obtain delivery of, goods and services such as the
distribution of money, phone privileges, building access, and
commodities. Encryption provides rapid transmission and authentication
of the transmitter, and a plurality of similar transmitters, with minimum
vulnerability to counterfeit. Signal processing and digital
communication components accommodate variations in location and
orientation of the transmitter and receiver, and provide transmitters
with long life times and high reliability.

Abstract: To enable the production of a connector having a smaller thickness. 
     A group of upper side male terminal fittings 2A and lower side male terminal
fittings 2B are secured to the upper and lower surfaces of a mount plate 8
formed as a separate piece by pressing projections 12 into mount holes 16,
thereby forming a core member 7. A housing 1 is formed by insert molding
using this core member 7 as a core material. Since insert molding can be
performed with the outer surfaces of the male terminal fittings 2A, 2B opposite
from those secured to the mount plate 8 exposed, only the thickness of the
housing 1 is added at the outer surfaces of the male terminal fittings 2A, 2B.
Thus, there can be obtained a connector having a small thickness T around the
male terminal fittings 2A, 2B.
