Abstract: A display device for a vehicle comprises a meter for indicating vehicle speed and others
to display a route guidance for driving along a predetermined route on the screen by
performing a specified calculating operation on previously inputted data for different
points on the route and on the detected data for a current point. A display section for
navigation and a display section for meters are disposed close to each other. The
display section for the meters may be partially or entirely switched to display navigation
information. Accordingly, ergonomics and driving safety can be improved when using a
navigation device on a vehicle. Moreover, the size of the display device can be reduced
significantly so that the display device is particularly suitable for motorcycles.

Abstract: An apparatus for assisting in filling a container from a hopper
containing a supply of powder is provided. The apparatus includes a conduit (36)
operably connected to the hopper and extending downwardly therefrom. The
conduit is adapted to permit a flow of powder therewithin. The apparatus also
includes a nozzle (34) operably connected to the conduit and extending downwardly
therefrom. The nozzle defines an inlet thereof for receiving powder from the
conduit and defines an outlet thereof for dispensing powder from the nozzle to
the container. The inlet defines an inlet cross sectional area perpendicular to
the flow the powder and an outlet defining an outlet cross sectional area
perpendicular to the flow the powder. The inlet cross sectional area is larger
than the outlet cross sectional area. The apparatus further includes an
conveyor located at least partially within the conduit. The conveyor assists in
providing the flow of powder from the container. The dimensions of the nozzle
are selected so as to provide a ratio of the inlet cross sectional area to the
outlet cross sectional area such that the flow of powder does not seize as it
progresses through the nozzle.

Abstract: An electrical input buffer circuit is provided for receiving an
input signal such as an electronic spark timing signal and providing an output
signal despite the presence of noise. The input buffer circuit receives a
control signal and a reference voltage signal, and the voltage potential
therebetween provides a differential input. A voltage divider network is
coupled between the inputs for producing a first voltage potential and a second
voltage potential in response to the differential input. A differential pair of
NPN type transistors compares the control signal to a threshold value. The
input buffer circuit produces a output high or low signal as a function of the
input control voltage and is allowed to operate above and below local ground.

Abstract: An active matrix light modulator, such as a thresholdless antiferroelectric active matrix
liquid crystal display, comprises an active matrix of control elements 18 disposed at
intersections of data lines 22 and scan lines 20, and an array 10 of pixels which are
selectively addressable by data and scan signals applied to the control elements 18 by
a data driver 12 and a scan driver 14. Such addressing is controlled so that a voltage
is applied to each pixel during a corresponding addressing frame by the application of
data and scan signals to an associated one of the control elements 18 in order to select
the optical level of the pixel for each frame, and bipolar switching is applied to control
the voltage applied to the pixel during successive subframes such that, when one optical
level is selected for the frame, a positive voltage is applied to the pixel during one
subframe of the frame and a negative voltage of equal magnitude but opposite polarity
is applied to the pixel during another subframe of the frame and, when another optical
level is selected for the frame, an intermediate voltage (preferably zero voltage) is
applied to the pixel during both of the subframes of the frame, so as to provide DC
balancing within the frame. The required grey level within each frame is accurately
reproduced and is substantially independent of the previous state of the pixel. The use
of such modulators to reduce the effects of asymmetrical optical performance and
colour-sequential displays are also disclosed.

of the laser delivery means and the rear surface of the
tissue. In a preferred embodiment, the method includes
quantitative determination of the contractility or motion of
the beating heart, such that changes in the depth of tissue
can be used to control the channel depth or other treatment
parameters. Retrolasing can also be achieved by mechanically
piercing the tissue to a determined depth based on axial
ranging measurements, and retracting the treatment tool
