Title: Visual display apparatus
Inventor: MITCHELL EDWARD ARTHUR CHARLES
IPC: G02F1/1335
Filed: 2014-02-28
Abstract: Visual display apparatus comprises a screen on the front face of an active-matrix LCD panel 108 that is viewable from a viewpoint 104 in a viewing area. A backlight 100 is configured and arranged to transmit light along a path102 towards a viewpoint 104. The path 102 extends through a pixel array 106 comprising multiple rows and columns of RGB sub-pixels and then through an active-matrix LCD panel 108. A rear polariser 106 between the backlight 100 and the pixel array 106 applies horizontal polarisation H to the light transmitted from the backlight 100. A signal representing an image to be displayed isdelivered to the LCD panel and causes the liquid crystals thereof to twist/untwist to a degree related to the image. The illumination from the RGB sub-pixels is thus modulated with the image but it appears plain unless and until a fore polariser 122, crossed with the rear polariser 106 to apply vertical polarisation V, causes selected elements to be blocked, whereby the desiredimage is revealed. The fore polarser is movable and/or spaced from the screen so as to enable the image and the plain illumination to be seen alternatively from the viewing area.

Title: Diagnostic method for automatic discrimination of phase-to-ground partial discharge, phase-to-phase partial discharge and electromagnetic noise
Inventor: TOZZI MARCO
IPC: G01R31/12
Filed: 2014-08-12
Abstract: Partial discharge events in a multi-phase electrical system can be identified and distinguished from noise by measuring characteristics of a signal from each phase in a common measurement period and comparing the respective characteristics between the phases. If a similar signal is present on all three phases, this indicates a source of noise common to all three phases (figure 1c). A similar signal on two phases indicates a phase to phase partial discharge (figure 1b) and a signal only on one phase indicates a phase to ground partial discharge (figure 1a). The comparison of characteristics may performed using ternary diagrams or triangular plots (figure 2, not shown), which facilitates performance of the method by unskilled persons. The characteristic may be amplitude, rate of change, rise time, power spectral density, peak to peak distance, or frequency composition.
