Abstract: A method of driving a liquid crystal that has a memory capability, wherein a reset voltage is initially applied to the liquid crystal during a reset period, to bring about a Frederick's transition in the liquid crystal. During a subsequent selection period, a selection voltage that is selected on the basis of a critical value that brings about one of two metastables states in the liquid crystal is applied to the liquid crystal, and, during a nonselection period that follows the selection period, a nonselection voltage that is less than or equal to a threshold value that maintains two metastable states is applied to the liquid crystal. A delay period is provided between the reset period and the selection period, in order to gain effective timing for applying the selection voltage to the liquid crystal after the application of the reset voltage has been turned off. This shortens the length of the selection period, and hence the write time.

Abstract: An illumination unit according to the invention comprises an electrodeless low-pressure discharge lamp 10. The illumination unit is provided with a lamp vessel 20 which encloses a discharge space 21 which contains an ionizable filling. The illumination unit is in addition provided with a holder 60 for the lamp vessel 20, with a coil 30 for generating a high-frequency magnetic field so as to maintain an electric discharge in the discharge space 21, and with a high-frequency supply 50 for the coil. The illumination unit is further provided with ignition aids 40 for promoting the initiation of the discharge. The coil 30 has a primary 31 and a secondary winding 32, the primary winding 31 having a first 34A and a second end 34B which are connected to a first 51 and a second contact 52, respectively, of the supply 50, such that the first contact 51 supplies a high-frequency voltage and the second contact 52 a reference voltage free from high-frequency variations in a nominal operational state of the illumination unit, in which state a voltage gradient arises in the primary winding 31 in a direction from the first 34A to the second end 34B, whereby a voltage gradient is generated in the secondary winding 32 in a direction from a first 35A to a second end 35B which is opposed to that from the first 34A to the second end 34B in the primary winding 31, while high-frequency variations of the voltage averaged over the joint surface area of the primary 31 and the secondary winding 32 are comparatively small against high-frequency variations of the voltage averaged over the surface of the primary winding 31. The ignition aids 40 achieve that, after switching-on of the illumination unit, the nominal operational state is preceded by an ignition state in which the second end 35B of the secondary winding 32 is disconnected from the second contact 52 of the supply 50. The measure counteracts attacks on the wall of the discharge vessel 20.

Abstract: A frame alignment method and system for communicating frames of information between at least two devices. A 'start of alignment sequence' is used to cause a device that is in the misaligned state to inform the other device of this state condition in such a way that the other device itself is caused to transition to the misaligned state. The 'start of alignment sequence' is therefore a frame alignment error when a device is in the aligned state. Each device in the misaligned state repetitively transmits the 'start of alignment sequence'. Each device in the misaligned state transitions to the realignment state upon detection of the 'start of alignment sequence'. When in the realignment state the device transmits the 'end of alignment sequence' to cause the other device to transition to the aligned state if the other device is in the realignment state. Devices in the aligned state transmit any pending frames of information and remain in this aligned state until a frame alignment error, including a 'start of alignment sequence', is detected. A system for implementing this frame alignment method is also described.

Abstract: A subminiature circuit protector includes a substrate (18) carrying a metal fuse element (20) hermetically sealed in a glass sleeve cartridge (30). The fuse element may comprise a film deposited on the substrate, or, alternatively a metal strip or wire. Leads (40, 42) extend from opposing ends of the sleeve for connection in a circuit, and a gas is sealed in the sleeve to provide a suitable environment to improve operating lifetime and interrupting capability. The circuit protector is made by placing the substrate (18) carrying the fuse element (20) in the glass sleeve (30) and placing the leads in contact with the fuse element. The assembly is heated in the presence of a gas below atmospheric pressure to a temperature sufficient to soften the glass. The pressure is then increased to cause the ends of the glass sleeve (30) to form a hermetic seal about the leads (40, 42).

Abstract: A method and system implements a high addressability characteristic into an error diffusion process. A grey level value representing a pixel is received. The grey level value has a first resolution which corresponds to an original input resolution. The grey level value is interpolated (S30) to generate subpixel grey level values which correspond to a second resolution. The second resolution is higher than the first resolution and corresponds to the high addressability characteristic. A threshold circuit thresholds the interpolated grey level value and generates (s180) an error value as a result of the threshold. The error value has a resolution corresponding to the first resolution. A portion of the error value is diffused (S190) to adjacent pixels on a next scanline.

Abstract: An improved process and apparatus are disclosed for the supercritical water oxidation of organic waste materials which avoids or at least substantially reduces the corrosion and solids deposition problems associated with prior art techniques. According to this invention, externally heated supercritical water is fed to a platelet tube reactor to both protectively coat its inner surface and heat the waste stream to oxidation reaction conditions. Higher reaction temperatures can be used as compared to prior art processes, which significantly improves the reaction rate and permits smaller reactors to be used. The protective film of water on the reactor inner surface, coupled with the elimination of preheating of the waste material, substantially reduces solids deposition and corrosion.

In a preferred design for a ROS-based system, the system common depth of focus (system common DOF) is maximized, where the system common DOF is characterized as the depth-of-focus over which all performance parameters are met. The optical system design achieves a desirable system common DOF while maintaining a line separation of 127 µm (1/200 inch).
