Abstract: A liquid crystal display ("LCD") having a plurality of gray voltages with varying magnitudes and a driving method thereof. An LCD includes a reference voltage generator changing level of a supply voltage based on a first signal to generate a reference voltage. The first signal varies depending on the surrounding brightness of the LCD, the brightness of the on-screen images of the LCD, and user's manipulation. The LCD also includes a gray voltage generator generating a plurality of gray voltages with magnitudes varying dependent on the magnitude of the reference voltage and a predetermined voltage such as a ground voltage. The LCD further includes a plurality of gate lines transmitting a plurality of gate signals, a plurality of data lines transmitting the gray voltages, and a plurality of pixels. Each pixel has a switching element connected to one of the gate lines and one of the data lines and transmitting the gray voltages to the pixels under the control of the gate signal. The LCD includes a gate driver supplying the gate signals to the gate lines and a data driver selecting the gray voltages based on gray data from an external source to supply to the pixels via the data lines. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A catheter has a basket-shaped electrode assembly (18) which includes an improved mechanism for expanding and contracting the electrode array. The expansion mechanism permits reproducible reintroduction of the catheter into the heart. The catheter comprises an elongated catheter body having at least one lumen through it. A basket-shaped electrode assembly is mounted at the distal end of the catheter body. The basket assembly comprises a plurality of spines (20) connected at their proximal and distal ends, each of which comprises at least one electrode (28). The basket assembly has an expanded arrangement wherein the spines bow radially outwardly and a collapsed arrangement wherein the spines are arranged generally along the axis of the catheter body. An expander is attached at or near its distal end to the distal ends of the spines and extends through the catheter body. The expander has a proximal end that extends out the proximal end of the catheter body a lumen extending through it. In use, the expander can be moved longitudinally relative to the catheter body to expand and contract the basket-shaped electrode assembly. The lumen that extends through the expander permits the catheter to be introduced into the heart over a guidewire. If the catheter is removed and subsequently reintroduced over the guidewire, the basket-shaped electrode assembly can be easily reintroduced to its original position. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A radio communication system comprises a communication channel for the transmission of data from a secondary station to a primary station. The secondary station is operable in a first (normal) and a second (gated) mode, with a reduced quantity of data being transmitted in the second mode. The secondary station generates a coded word providing information on the transport formats applicable to the channel and transmits this coded word repeatedly to the primary station. Different coding schemes are used to generate the coded word in each mode of operation, thereby enabling improved performance in gated mode compared to truncating the coded word.

Abstract: A pixellated device ( 10 ), such as a display, has pixel row and column address lines ( 18,20 ) for addressing each pixel, thereby providing signal data to each pixel ( 12 ) or reading signal data from each pixel. An array of memory cells ( 22 ) is provided on the substrate interspersed with the pixel drive circuitry ( 16 ), wherein memory address circuitry ( 24,26,28,30 ) is provided enabling data to be written to each memory cell and enabling data to be read from each cell ( 22 ), independently of the signal data. Each memory cell ( 22 ) is thus addressable independently of the pixel data. Thus, the memory cells do not form part of the pixel circuitry, which allows the memory to be used in a flexible manner. For example, the memory may be used for purposes not directly associated with the driving or addressing of the pixels of the device.
