Abstract: An electronic gaming terminal includes a game portion which allows a user to select one
component from among a plurality of components, in each of a plurality of categories.
Preferably, at least one category relates to an entertainment component such a selecting a song,
video or the like, and/or selecting an artist, performer and the like. A bonus prize is awarded in
an amount correlating with the degree of correspondence with the selections made by the user
and a final, preferably randomly selected, combination. In one aspect, one prize is awarded if a
player correctly guessed only the artist and a higher prize or bonus is awarded if the player
selected correctly both the artist and the song. In one embodiment, the player's selected song is
performed during at least a portion of the bonus procedure.

Abstract: A lens aperture of an autostereoscopic camera is moved in a
parallax scanning pattern through a plurality of disparity
positions offset from the optical axis of the camera lens.
Images of a scene being photographed, as viewed through the
lens aperture in its various disparity positions, are recorded
for subsequent display in three-dimentional illusion when
viewed with the unaided eye. The size of the lens aperture and
the parallax scanning pattern are adustable to suit
conditions. The lens aperture may be defined as a through-hole
in an opaque card or a planar array of cells switched between
transparent and opaque states. In addition to stereoscopic
imaging, the moving lens aperture principle of the present
invention may be utilized in range-finding and camera image
stabilization applications.

Abstract: The method involves controlling individual image element or pixel light emission with electrical signals. The light density corresponds to a defined information value. Two information values are superimposed in one pixel by superimposing electrical signals, especially adding them according to alpha-blending, with a correction taking into account the non-linear dependency between electrical signal strength and pixel optical light density. The method involves controlling the light emission of individual image elements or pixels with electrical signals, especially voltages, whereby the light density of the light emission corresponds to a defined information value, especially a color and/or an intensity, and two information values are superimposed in one pixel to form a total value by superimposing electrical signals, especially by adding them according to the principle of alpha-blending. A correction is performed during superimposition, whereby the non-linear dependency between the strength of the electrical signal and the optical light density of the image element is taken into account. Independent claims are also included for the following: a display device for visual reproduction of graphical information and a use of the method for graphical preparation of information subjected to anti-aliasing correction.

in the first region of the liquid
crystal layer and has a second value (d/p) N  different from
the first value in the second region of the liquid crystal
layer. The value (d/p) N  of the ratio of the thickness d of
the liquid crystal layer to the pitch p of the liquid crystal
material in the second region of the liquid crystal layer
is selected such that, when no voltage is applied across

Abstract: An ink ejecting device includes ink channels (304)
intercommunicating with slits (311B) and air channels (327)
intercommunicating with other slits (311A). The ink channels (304)
and the air channels (327) have a narrow shape with a
rectangular cross-section, and all of the ink channels are
filled with ink and the air channels are filled with air.
An LSI chip applies a voltage V to a pattern conducting to
metal electrodes positioned in air channels located at
both sides of an ink channel from which the ink is to be
ejected and connects the other patterns connected to metal
electrodes in other air channels not adjacent the ejecting
ink channel and a pattern conducting to the metal
electrodes of the non-ejecting ink channels to a ground
line. Therefore, the ink ejecting device of the above
structure requires no insulation between ink and
electrodes as the working electrodes do not contact the
ink.
