Abstract: The pen computer has a pen by means of which shorthand text is input to a sensor field. This is interpreted by character recognition software into normal text and displayed as readable characters on the screen. The screen is a sensor monitor which acts as a display field and also as a sensor field for the shorthand text input. For a learning mode the screen is divided into two areas. One is for the shorthand input text. The other is for displaying the normal text. Independent claims also cover an operating process for the learning mode.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pre-filled tamper evident syringe assemblies,
including a tubular syringe body (2) with a nose portion for receiving a hollow
needle communicating with the interior of the syringe body, a needle cap (4) for
protecting at least the nose portion and a label (5) bonded to an outer surface of
the syringe body. The tamper evident feature of such an assembly is
provided by a simple construction. Therefore, at least a portion of the needle
cap adjacent to the syringe body is of essentially the same diameter as the
syringe body, and the label of the syringe body extends onto the needle cap
and is bonded and/or positively engaged thereto, so as to produce evidence
of tampering when the needle cap is removed.

Abstract: A polarizing screen 20 for presenting images in response to receipt
of imagewise rays of light 22 projected from, for example, a video projector. The
polarizing screen 20 is made of a woven polarizing fabric 1 which has front and
rear surfaces D and E opposite to each other and which is woven in a satin fashion
including warps of one of polarizing and non-polarizing threads 12 and 11 and
wefts of the other of the polarizing and non-polarizing threads 12 and 11. The
front surface D of the woven polarizing fabric 1 has a relatively large portion of
the polarizing threads 12 being exposed therefrom and the rear surface E thereof
has a relatively large portion of the non-polarizing threads 11 exposed therefrom.
The polarizing threads 12 of the woven polarizing fabric 1 have their lengthwise
direction oriented substantially perpendicular to a horizontal plane and, therefore,
the horizontal viewing angle is increased. Also, the front surface D of the woven
polarizing fabric 1 where the relatively large portion of the polarizing threads 12
are exposed is oriented so as to confront the viewers 23 so that the woven
polarizing fabric 1 can exhibit an enhanced function of a polarizing filter.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for
normalizing and calibrating a sensor array (50). The sensor array can
comprise differential element sensors (60), such as for example eddy
current sensors, or absolute sensors. A single test specimen (10) is
used to normalize and calibrate the sensor array using one or more
scans of the test specimen. Notably, only one alignment of the sensor
array to the test specimen is required. The test specimen is preferably
made of the same or similar type of material as the part to be tested
and is of a similar geometric shape that can have a simple flat surface
or a more complex surface. A linear feature (12) and several notches
(14) are machined into the surface of the specimen by using, for
example, electro-discharge machining methods, to provide the
necessary signals (51,53) when scanned by the sensor array. Signals
from the linear feature on the test specimen are used to remove any
bias and to normalize the dynamic ranges of all of the sensors in the
array. Signals from the notches are used to establish the gain settings
for the sensors in the array.
