Abstract: An electrical energy storage device for storing electrical energy and supplying the electrical energy to a driving motor at different power levels is disclosed. The electrical storage device has an energy battery connected to a power battery. The energy battery has a higher energy density than the power battery. However, the power battery can provide electrical power to the electrical motor at different power rates, thereby ensuring that the motor has sufficient power and current when needed. The power battery is continuously recharged by the energy storage battery. In this way, the power battery temporarily stores electrical energy received from the energy battery and provides the electrical energy at the different power rates as required by the motor. The energy storage device can be releasably connected to an external power source in order to recharge both batteries. Both batteries can be recharged independently to optimize the recharging and lifetime characteristics of the batteries.

Abstract: A high frequency bus system (450) which insures uniform arrival times of high fidelity signals to the devices (510), despite the use of the bus (450) on modules (420) and connectors. The high frequency bus system (450) includes a first bus segment having one or more devices (510) connected between a first and second end. The high frequency bus system (450) also includes a second bus segment which has no devices connected to it. The first end of the first segment and the second end of the second segment are coupled in series to form a chain of segments and when two signals are introduced to the first end of the second bus segment at substantially the same time, they arrive at each device (510) connected to the first bus segment at substantially the same time. Conversely when two signals originate at a device (510) substantially at the same time, they arrive at the first end of the second bus segment at substantially the same time. Uniform arrival times hold despite the use of connectors to couple the segments together, despite the segments being located on modules, without the need for stubs, despite the presence of routing turns in the segments and despite the type of information, such as address, data, or control, carried by the signals.

Abstract: A liquid crystal device (100), in which a liquid crystal layer is held between a pair of substrates (10,20), includes a plurality of pixels (100a) and a structured retardation layer (27) inside the cell on one of the substrates. Each of the plurality of pixels includes a transmissive area (100r) and a reflective area (100t). The retardation layer is arranged at a position that at least overlaps the reflective areas of adjacent pixels. The rectangularly shaped retardation layer has first and second long edges, the first of which is located in one pixel while the second edge is arranged on the adjacent pixel. The edges may be step shaped or tapered. 
The retarder scheme may be employed in Fringe Field Switching (FFS) or In-Plane Switching (IPS) active matrix LCDs. While mainly applicable to transflective devices, the arrangement can be used in reflective or transmissive LCDs. 
Wide tapered edges of an internal retarder produce variations in the LC cell gap and in the phase shift produced by the retarder at its edges. These variations lead to a drop in optical contrast. 
By arranging for a rectangular internal retarder to extend over a row or column of pixels, so that its long edges lie in different pixels and/or its short edges (ends) are located outside the viewing area, the undesirable effect of the edges on the contrast can be evened out.
