Inventor: TOWLER MICHAEL
IPC: G09G3/20
Filed: 1998-05-20
Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal display comprises an addressable matrix of pixels
7 and addressing circuitry comprising a data signal generator 14 for applying data
signals to column electrode tracks 4 1 , 4 2 .....4 n  and a strobe signal generator 15 for
applying strobe signals to row electrode tracks 5 1 , 5 2 .....5 m  in order to selectively switch
the pixels 7. In order to provide a large number of well defined grey levels, the
addressing circuitry includes spatial and/or temporal dither control circuits for
addressing separately addressable subpixels of each pixel 7 with different combinations
of spatial dither signals and/or for addressing at least part of each pixel with different
combinations of temporal dither signals applied to separately addressable temporal bits
corresponding to subframes of different periods to produce a plurality of different
transmission levels. Furthermore at least a part of each pixel is switchable between
different states by means of on and off switching signals, at least one bit of some of the
pixels being switchable into intermediate states, including at least one error producing
analogue state, by intermediate switching signals in order to produce intermediate
overall transmission levels, and such switching being controlled so that periods in
which at least part of the pixel is in an error producing analogue state alternate with
periods in which the part is in a substantially error free state in order to limit the
propagation of transmission errors.

IPC: G01N33/552
Filed: 1998-11-18
Abstract: First and second reactants that give a signal when
mixed in the presence of an analyte in a liquid sample, are
separately contained in sol-gels that release the reactants
in the presence of the liquid. For example, when the first
and second reactants respectively comprise an oxidant and
a reductant, and the reaction provides a detectable signal,
the system can be used to detect the presence of
contaminants in a water sample. The sol-gel may be
obtained by reaction of water with, per part by volume
thereof, at least 2 parts of a metal alkoxide, and drying
the resultant gel.

Abstract: A capacitor terminal is described, in particular for an electrolyte power capacitor, with which the capacitor is mechanically and electrically connected to a fastening part and/or to electric conductors. The capacitor terminal on the capacitor itself is designed as a contact stud having a relatively long, smooth contact area. The contact stud is designed in the form of a cylinder having a round or oval cross section or a rectangular tube connection. The part accommodating the contact stud is composed of a contact spring accommodating the contact stud for mechanical fixation and to establish the electric contact and which is attached to a connection strip. An extra spring can surround the contact spring in a ring to increase the contact force. Multiple capacitors may be connected to the connection strip by a simple plug-in technique, i.e., without screw connections, forming a capacitor bank attached to a common heat sink in a simple, tolerance-equalizing manner without exposing the terminals to unnecessary forces.

Abstract: In the processing of a biological reaction system, there is a need for consistently placing an amount of fluid on a slide. In order to accomplish this, the dispense chamber (412) is substantially in line with the reservoir chamber (408), the reservoir chamber piston is removed, and the flow of fluid through the dispenser is simplified. Further, in order to operate the automated biological reaction system more reliably, the system is designed in modular pieces with higher functions performed by a host device and the execution of the staining operations performed by remote devices. Also, to reliably catalog data which is used by the automated biological reaction system, data is loaded to a memory device, which in turn is used by the operator to update the operator's databases. The generation of the sequence of steps for the automated biological reaction device based on data loaded by the operator, including checks to determine the ability to complete the run, is provided.

Abstract: A radio frequency
identification system, using modulated backscatter radio communications, is
disclosed which supports the automated reconciliation of passengers, baggage, and
cargo on a transport. A baggage tag (105) is attached to each piece of checked baggage,
where the baggage tag is a read-only tag with modulated backscatter radio capability.
Thus, each piece of checked baggage can be identified for sortation, and also
identified to ascertain if it has been loaded onto a particular aircraft. Pieces of
baggage can be either loaded directly onto an aircraft, or loaded onto a cargo
container, where a cargo tag (105) is attached to the cargo container, the cargo tag is a
read-write tag with modulated backscatter radio capability. The aircraft itself may
be equipped with aircraft tags (105) which could be read-only or read-write tags with
modulated backscatter radio capability. Aircraft tags allow a positive association
between the identity of the baggage or cargo container being loaded, the aircraft on
which it is being loaded, and the cargo bay doorway through which it is being
loaded. To identify passengers, several alternatives are disclosed. In one
embodiment, a magnetic boarding pass can be used with a magnetic stripe containing
information about this passenger. In this embodiment, the passenger is responsible
for inserting the magnetic boarding pass into a magnetic card reader as the passenger
boards the flight. In another embodiment, a radio boarding pass could be used. The
radio boarding pass resembles a conventional boarding pass, however it has read-only
modulated backscatter radio capability, perhaps identical with the technology
used for the baggage tag. The radio boarding pass can be read as the passenger
boards the aircraft. In an alternate embodiment, the passenger can have a passenger
card, which is a read-write tag with modulated backscatter capability. The passenger
card can be read as the passenger boards the aircraft, to identify the passenger.
Alternately, the passenger card can be used for a number of enhanced passenger
service applications in a generalized transportation environment.
