Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus arranged with a light guide plate of an illuminating apparatus between two liquid crystal panels for increasing an efficiency of utilizing light of the illuminating apparatus to thereby increase brightness both in a transmission display mode and a reflection display mode. For that object, there is constructed a constitution of providing a first lower polarizer between a first liquid crystal panel and a light guide plate, a second lower polarizer between a second liquid crystal panel and the light guide plate and a reflection-polarizing plate between the light guide plate and the second lower polarizer. Thereby, the efficiency of utilizing light of the illuminating apparatus can be increased. Further, a transmission axis of the first lower polarizer and a reflection axis of the reflection-polarizing plate are aligned in the same direction and a transmission axis of the second lower polarizer is set to make an angle theta (incidentally, theta is an angle other than 90 degrees) relative to the reflection axis of the reflection-polarizing plate. A rate of reflection/transmission of the second liquid crystal panel can freely be set by changing the angle.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for conditioning and pre-tensioning soft tissue grafts during joint repair surgery, such as during repair of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The inventive apparatus is advantageously adapted and configured so as to enable a surgeon to independently apply a desired tensile load to individual graft strands or graft bundles of a multi-strand tissue graft. The inventive methods enable each graft strand or bundle to be properly tensioned so as to both "condition" the graft to prevent subsequent stretching, relaxation or elongation following surgery, which can destabilize the joint, and to pre-tension each graft strand or bundle to a predetermined amount so that each contributes to the strength and stability of the joint, thus resulting in a stronger and more durable joint. The tensioning device is advantageously equipped with structure for attachment to a patient's limb during the conditioning and pre-tensioning procedure. It has multiple adjustable tension applicators that can be independently manipulated so as to apply a separate tensile load to one or more ends of a tissue graft strand attached to each adjustable tension applicator.

Abstract: What is disclosed is a method by which a client-side handheld device requests a server to convert server-side documents into a compression format prior to transmission of said documents to the client. The server retrieves and converts the requested documents to a raster image that is then compressed according to attributes based on information received from the client device in the initial document request. Instead of having to manipulate multiple formats which the original documents are in and supported by the server, the client-side device is preferably optimized in hardware and/or software to support and otherwise take advantage of the requested compression format. The compressed document is then delivered to the client device, in whole or in part, selectively or progressively over time per individual requests prior to displaying the received data to the end-user. Depending on the requested delivery mode, server-side documents are preferably compressed using wavelet compression methods, such as the JPEG 2000 standard, known in the arts. Through such a compression format, documents of sizes (in total bytes) exceeding one or more Megabytes can be compressed down to as small as 30 kilobytes or less. <IMAGE>
