Title: Display device, scanning line driver circuit
Inventor: KANZAKI EISUKE
IPC: G02F1/1362
Filed: 2002-12-19
Abstract: The number of signal lines is reduced, and the uniformity of the screen of a display with no luminance variation is ensured by enhancing the accuracy of the voltage applied to each pixel. (See Fig. 7) A first display signal having a first potential to be given to a pixel electrode (A) is supplied to a signal line during the time t1 from the timing at which a scanning line (Gn+2) goes to a selection potential to the timing at which it goes to a nonselection potential to give the first potential to the pixel electrode (A) and a pixel electrode (B). A second display signal having a second potential to be given to the pixel electrode (B) is supplied to the signal line during the time t2 after the scanning line (Gn+2) goes to the nonselection potential. When the second potential is given to the pixel electrode (B), a compensation potential variation for canceling the difference between the potential variation corresponding to the parasitic capacitance between the pixel electrode (A) and the scanning lines (Gn+1, Gn+2) and the potential variation corresponding to the parasitic capacitance between the pixel electrode (B) and the scanning line (Gn+1) is given to the scanning line (Gn+1) to effect compensation.

IPC: B29C48/495
Filed: 2003-03-03
Abstract: New cross-laminates are formed of films of which at least two are uniaxially or unbalanced biaxially oriented, in which the main direction of orientation in one of these films crosses the main direction of orientation in the other one, having modifications, made in a suitable pattern, of the surface properties of the two films on the surfaces which are inside the laminate an d are bonded to each other. The internally arranged surface layers of the film s comprise an array of strands (101, 102) of coextruded material and the films are arranged so that the arrays of the two films cross one another. The strands may be used to control adhesion between the films and reduce the tendency to delaminate on repeated flexing, making a laminate suitable for u se as a tarpaulin. Alternatively, especially in combination with provision of embossment of at least one of the films whose main layer is transparent to form striations (103), coloured strands may confer interesting visual effect s on the laminate viewed from the side of that film which may make the laminat e appear thicker than it actually is.

Title: Systems and methods for predicting the bending stiffness of wood products
Inventor: YANCEY MICHAEL J
IPC: G01N23/06
Filed: 2004-09-30
Abstract: Generally described, a bending stiffness predicting system 20 includes a density measurement sub-system 24 and a sound wave velocity measurement sub-system 28. From the measurements of both density and speed of sound through the wood product received from the sub-systems 24 and 28, respectively, the bending stiffness (Y) may be predicted by calculating the bending stiffness (Y) according to the bending stiffness (MOE) equation: Y= k.rho.V2/g; wherein k is the calibration constant, .rho. is the density or specific gravity of the member, V is the velocity of a sound through the member and g is the acceleration due to gravity. The calculation of wood product bending stiffness may be carried out manually, or maybe calculated using a calculating sub-system 32 from the two measured values, density and velocity, according to Equation 1 above.
