Abstract: A display device comprises groups of first and second strobe electrodes (S i , S i+1 ) and a
plurality of pairs of data electrodes (3a, 3b) crossed with the first and second strobe
electrodes to define first and second pixels. Each pair of data electrodes comprises a
plurality of elongate parallel first electrode portions (3a) and a plurality of parallel
second electrode portions (3b) interdigitated with the first electrode portions (3a). The
display device has a data voltage source (29) for applying one of N data voltages to the
first data electrode and simultaneously applying one of the N data voltages to the second
data electrode, so that it is possible to apply M different combinations of data voltages
to the two column electrodes defining a column of pixels, where M > N. This allows
two rows of pixels to be driven simultaneously while requiring the data voltage source
to provide fewer different data voltages.

Abstract: A reduced keyboard disambiguating system (50). The keyboard (54) has twelve keys (56, 60, 62, 64), nine of them labeled with numerous letters and other symbols, and those nine plus one more are labeled each with one of the ten digits. Textual entry keystrokes are ambiguous. The user strikes a delimiting "Select" key (60) at the end of each word, delimiting a keystroke sequence that could match any of many words with the same number of letters. The keystroke sequence is processed with a complete vocabulary, and words which match the sequence of keystrokes are presented to the user in order of decreasing frequency of use. In addition, stems of longer words whose initial letters match the sequence of keystrokes are also presented to the user in order of decreasing frequency of use. The first work (78) in the presented list (76) is automatically selected by the input of the first character in the next word. The letters are assigned to the keys in a non-sequential order which reduces chances of ambiguities. The "Select" key (60) is pressed to select the desired word other than the first word, and spacing between words and punctuation is automatically computed. For words which are not in the vocabulary, a simultaneous unambiguous interpretation of each keystroke is performed to specify each letter of a desired word. The system simultaneously interprets all keystroke sequences as both ambiguous and unambiguous keystrokes. The user selects the desired interpretation. The system also presents to the user the number which is represented by the sequence of keystrokes for possible selection by the user.

resolution operation nor enzyme reaction requiring a large
amount of solvent and much reaction time and exhibiting low
reproducibility, can be applied to both experimental and
industrial production methods, and is thus very advantageous.

Abstract: Des articles rétroréfléchissants produisent une rétroréflexion modulable au moyen d'une surface frontale (120) comprenant au moins des première et deuxième zones (122, 124) présentant différentes caractéristiques de transmission et d'une surface arrière (130) comportant des zones rétroréfléchissantes (132) et des zones de séparation. Les première et deuxième zones (134) sur la surface frontale sont placées par rapport aux zones rétroréfléchissantes et aux zones de séparation sur la surface arrière, de sorte qu'une partie sensible de la lumière arrivant de manière incidente sur les premières zones (134) de la surface frontale selon un premier angle, soit transmise à travers les premières zones de la surface frontale aux zones rétroréfléchissantes de la surface arrière, au niveau de laquelle elle est renvoyée par rétroréflexion à travers la surface frontale. De plus, une partie sensible de la lumière arrivant de manière incidente sur les premières zones de la surface frontale est transmise à travers les premières zones de la surface frontale, aux zones de séparation. Ensemble, les surfaces frontales et arrière manipulent la lumière, de sorte que les articles rétroréfléchissants produisent une rétroréflexion modulée de la lumière incidente, la modulation ou la variation pouvant se présenter sous forme de rétroréflexion ou de non réflexion, de rétroréflexion de couleurs différentes, de rétroréflexion à différents niveaux de luminosité. En d'autres termes, lorsque l'article est exposés à une source lumineuse constante, le déplacement relatif entre l'article rétroréfléchissant et la source lumineuse peut entraîner des variations ou une modulation de la rétroréflexion de la lumière dégagée par la source lumineuse. Lorsque les articles rétroréfléchissants produisent une rétroréflexion modulée, les variations ou changements ont tendance à augmenter la perceptibilité d'un objet ou d'une personne sur lequel ou laquelle ledit objet rétroréfléchissant est situé.
