Abstract: When the orientation of liquid crystal molecules in a pixel are divided by an orientation divider, a boundary of the orientation is produced at any part of the pixel. A drain signal line (54) is formed to overlap with the boundary so that a light-shielding region in the pixel is decreased and an aperture ratio can be improved. Leakage of light caused when the orientation is disturbed can be shielded by the drain signal line (54), and contrast can be enhanced. The orientation divider can be an orientation control window (36), an orientation control slope (90) or the like.

Abstract: An occluding device for closing a body passage comprises an occluding body (1), a first position control element (2) and a second position control element (3). The occluding body (1) is a balloon made of a flexible and fluid tight material without shape memory property. The occluding body (1) comprises a proximal chamber (10) and a distal chamber (11) and a connecting channel (12) connecting these two chambers (10, 11). The occluding body (1) is compressible into a first longitudinal shape. A proximal end of the occluding body (1) is attached to the first position control element (2) and the distal end of the balloon is attached to the second position control element (3). The first position control element (2) and the second position control element (3) are two matching parts of a fluid tight closure of the balloon. The occluding body (1) is adapted to be brought into a second inflated shape by introduction of a fluid and into a third radially extended but longitudinally compressed shape by evacuating this fluid and by bringing the two position control elements (2, 3) into a snapped together position. No additional stiffening means for stiffening the balloon in its third radially extended but longitudinally compressed state are arranged within the occluding body (1). This occluder allows rearrangement of the balloon within the defect and it enables to adapt the shape of the balloon to the patient's anatomy.

Abstract: A proposed spread spectrum signal receiver includes a radio signal processing unit, which is at least partly implemented in software running on a processor. The processing unit is adapted to determine a candidate collection of subsets of signal sources among a group of potential signal sources (S1 -S9). Each member of the collection is a subset of the group of potential signal sources, which is defined by a criterion that an anticipated processing intensity required to derive the position/time related data from that subset is equal to or less than a maximum specified processing intensity. Each subset also contains at least a minimum number of signal sources necessary to produce the position/time related data. The processing unit is further adapted to select a set of preferred signal sources based on a candidate subset, which is associated with a highest estimated quality of the position/time related data attainable during a subsequent operating period for the receiver without exceeding the maximum specified processing intensity. Then, during the subsequent operating period, the receiver receives spread spectrum signals from the selected set of signal sources, and based on the received signals produces position/time related data.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for applying a non-displayed winding wire to a component (2) which is to be wound (2). The device (1) comprises a winding needle (3) which guides the winding wire, in order to wind the component (2), said winding wire being driven in a lifting manner and in a reverse manner in relation to the component (2) which is to be wound in the direction of the Z-axis. A needle carrier (4), which receives the winding needle (3), is driven by means of a crank bar (5) which is connected to the drive shaft (8) by means of a lifting journal (7) which is eccentrically arranged on a crank disk (6) which can be rotated. In order to adjust the height of the lift (h) in a simple manner and to also maintain the rotating mass as small as possible, the drive shaft (8) is embodied as a hollow shaft. A lift adjusting unit (11) is used to adjust the desired lifting height of the rotating crank disk (6), which can be activated by means of an adjusting shaft (12) which is arranged in a coaxial manner inside the hollow drive shaft (8). The central adjusting shaft (12) is displaced in a rotating manner by a second drive (13) during the synchronous operation, in relation to the drive shaft (8). A relative rotational angle differential of the adjusting shaft (12) in relation to the drive shaft (8) leads to a radial adjustment of the lifting journal (7) which is connected to the crank bar (5).
