Title: Electro-luminescent display
Inventor: YONEDA KOJI
IPC: G01D13/20
Filed: 1995-10-27
Abstract: On a transparent electrode 2 deposited on a transparent substrate 1 there are sequentially laminated a fluorescent layer 3 as an example of a print pattern layer, luminescent layer 4, insulating layer 4 and rear electrode 6. The fluorescent layer 3 is made of fluorescent pigment and fluoride resin binder and this layer is provided at a portion of the EL display which is to emit light and create a display, i.e. positions becoming time indicies. Upon application of an electric field, portions of the luminescent layer 4 other than those which correspond to the time indicias emit light luminescence with a luminescent color (e.g. bluish-green color) peculiar to the luminescent layer 4, and this luminescent color becomes the ground color of the dial. The time indicia portion where the fluorescent layer 3 exists produces secondary luminescence owing to light given off from the luminescent layer 4 to the fluorescent layer 3 whereby the time indicias emit light luminesce with a bright fluorescent orange color in the ground color brightening with, for example, a bluish-green color. <IMAGE>

Title: Wavelength allocation in an optical fibre subscriber network
Inventor: KIM JIN-HAN
IPC: H04L12/44
Filed: 1998-09-14
Abstract: A wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical fibre subscriber network capable of expanding the number of the subscribers. A central office allocates a combination of common optical wavelengths to a subscriber upon receipt of a service request signal. These allocated wavelengths form a sub-set of all the common wavelengths in the network. Information destined for different subscribers is transmitted on each common wavelength. The central office also allocates to each subscriber appropriate bandwidth on the allocated wavelengths. Optical subscriber devices each optically distribute and filter the multiplexed optical signals to select their allocated optical wavelengths, and output the selected optical wavelengths to corresponding subscriber terminals. The sub-set of wavelengths allocated to each subscriber may be unique to that subscriber. The network may use A.T.M. or packet switching protocols.

Patent GB-2332329-A (GB)
Title: Pruned and non-pruned tetrahedral interpolation for colour space conversion
Inventor: VONDRAN JR GARY L
IPC: H04N1/60
Filed: 1998-12-08
Abstract: A tetrahedral interpolation technique accomplishes an interpolation by generating successive sub-cubes. A value of a vertex of the final sub-cube generated is used as the result of the interpolation. Sub-cubes are generated by applying a mathematical relationship which allows computation of sub-cube vertex values through a series of logical AND, logical OR and averaging operations. A pruned tetrahedral interpolation technique employs a subset of the vertex values of the initially selected cube to generate the result of the interpolation, thereby improving upon the efficiency of the tetrahedral interpolation. Non-symmetric pruned tetrahedral interpolation permit interpolation using interpolation data values distributed throughout the color space with a resolution that varies according to characteristics of the color space.

Title: Electromechanical display
Inventor: RUTT JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: G09F11/00
Filed: 1999-06-24
Abstract: A remotely programmable electromechanical display system utilises multiple sets of small translucent plastic "flags" 5 revealed vertically upwards, in the exact proportions required, from behind a white background 3, to give a wide range of colour shades and thereby depict any image transmitted by electronic means to the location of the display. The flags may be in sets of at least three different colours and arranged so as to offer the possibility of 100% flag coverage capability of the display and to avoid detrimental visual effects. Light passes through one or more flags and is reflected back through them. This, together with the white background, means that image programming can be effected using standard "inkjet" drivers. Actuating mechanisms are concealed behind the white background, as are the flags themselves when "white" is required by the image.

Patent GB-191111854-A (GB)
IPC: C14B17/04
Abstract: 11,854. Hutchinson, A. A. May 16. Rotating - tool machines and apparatus. -In a machine in which a work-supporting cylinder is moved towards and from the rotary tool, means are provided for locking the cylinder frame in its extreme positions, and also for giving a good grip between the hide and the feeding-rollers. The machine is shown in end views in Figs. 1 and 2, and in section in Figs. 4 and 5. The work-supporting cylinder 40 and feed-rolls 30, 31 are normally stationary in the position shown in Fig. 4 with regard to the continuously-driven tool 14 and pressure roll 18, and are moved to the operative position shown in Fig. 5 by a pedalactuated too t h 54, Fig. 1, which also throws them into mesh with a continuouslydriven shaft 73 through gear trains described below. The shaft 39, Figs. 1 and 2, of the cylinder 40 is carried by frames 38, which are normally pulled inwards by weighted levers 98 and are caused to rock on their pivots 41 by rods 43 and crank-disks 44, 44<b>, which are meshed to the driving-shaft 73 by the same pedal-depression that sets the rolls 30, 31, 40 in rotation. The mechanism for this comprises a lever 49 pivoted at 49<Î> and carrying a gear train 50, 52 which meshes the crankdisk 44 to the shaft 73 when the lever 49 is pressed back by the toe 54. The lever is normally held forward by a spring 59 and limiting toggle 66, so that its adjustable stoppiece 48 rests in one or other of two recesses 46, 45 on the crank-disk and thus definitely locks the frames 38 in their forward or backward positions. When the roll 40 is moved into the operative position by the rocking-frames 38, the gear 77 on the shaft 39 is driven from the shaft 73 by the train 70, 75, 76, and at the same time, the feed-rolls 30, 31 are rocked over and set in rotation by the engagement of their pinions 32, 33 with a pinion 100 on the other end of the shaft 39. The rolls 30, 31 are carried in frames 26 on a rocking-shaft 25, and are normally held in the position shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 4 by a weighted lever 102. They are brought to the work-engaging position, Fig. 5, by an arm 35, Fig. 1, pivoted at one end to an arm 34, rigid on the rock-shaft 25, and having a projection 26 at the other end travelling in a slot 37 in the rocking-frame 38. The frames 26 have curved surfaces 94, 95, Fig. 4, adapted to rest on the shaft 39 when the frames have lowered the rolls to the position of Fig. 5 under the action of the frames 38, but the sliding of the pin 36 in the slot 37 allows the frames 38 to continue their inward journey. An auxiliary pressure roll 80, Figs. 4 and 5, driven by a wheel 101, Fig. 2, is journaled in frames 78 which are pivoted on the shaft 39 of the work-supporting cylinder, and are normally held in the position shown in Fig. 4 by a pin 82 and slotted lever 84 having a counterweight and anti-chattering spring 87.

IPC: H02K3/46
Abstract: 14,056. Rolfe, A. June 17. Conductors; dynamos and motors, cooling and ventilating; exciting.-The poles of rotary field magnets are magnetized by solid metallic bars filling or substantially filling the interpolar spaces. The doors d may be retained in position by wedges e, f or by means of a bolt and nut passing diametrically through the rotor. In a modification, the bars, preferably wedge-shaped and extending beyond the end of the rotor, are fitted into a number of grooves. The bars may each be forced outwards by a wedge f and may be corrugated at their outer ends. Alternatively, three bars may be retained in each groove by means of a dovetailed wedge, or by suitably shaping the bars and groove as shown in Fig. 7. End plates provided with ribs, grooves, or bosses for cooling purposes may be clamped to the rotor. The bars may be excited by connecting some or all of the bars to a radial or other conductor mounted on or forming part of the rotor or rotor shaft and cutting the lines of force of a stationary magnet.
