Abstract: Disclosed is a novel luminaire wherein a switching power supply circuitry is used to operate one or more incandescent lamps at a dc voltage exceeding their rating. The luminaire emits a flickerless light with a color temperature of about 2,900K or higher which is natural, closer to sunlight, superior in color rendering properties, gentle to the eyes, therefore very useful in illumination. The switching power supply circuitry exhibits a high power efficiency and capacity, and the output voltage is easily regulatable to a desired magnitude for lamp dimming.

Abstract: A metbod of creating a sequence of M output images from a sequence of N input images each composed of tbree component images corresponding to respective mutually orthogonal axes that define a color space comprises initializing a variable (CumTot) to zero, then generating a component image of an output image for each of the three orthogonal axes. This is accomplished by mixing the component image of the nth input image (where n is equal to the integer part of the variable) with the component image of the (n + 1)th input image in accordance with a blend fraction (Alpha) equal to the fractional part of the variable. The variable is incremented by the fraction (N/M), and the step of mixing and incrementing is repeated (M - 1) times.

Abstract: An electronic device maintains data utilizing a ferroelectric memory, not requiring a backup power source voltage. Data such as schedule data and telephone number data is stored in a ferroelectric RAM (16) which switches between a dynamic mode and a nonvolatile mode. When a clock mode is designated by a "CLK" key (12a), a memory control circuit (17) causes the ferroelectric RAM (16) to be switched to the nonvolatile mode to maintain the data stored therein. When a schedule mode or a telephone mode is designated by means of a "Sch" key (12b) or a "Tel" key (12c), the ferroelectric RAM (16) is switched to the nonvolatile mode to write/read data therein/therefrom. When it is detected that a battery voltage is lowered or the battery is removed from the electronic device, the ferroelectric RAM (16) is switched to the nonvolatile mode to protect the stored data.

Abstract: A phase retarder film or sheet is produced by continuously supplying a stretched thermoplastic resin film (or sheet) to a heating zone in a direction parallel to the stretching direction of the film or sheet. The film is heated to a temperature not lower than the glass transition temperature of the resin, while applying pressure to the surface of the film or sheet passing through the heating zone. The film is thereby continuously subjected to thermal relaxation while suppressing the expansion of the film in a direction parallel to the film surface and perpendicular to the stretching axis. By this process a phase retarder film or sheet having a low angular dependence of retardation can be continuously produced. By employing the phase retarder film(s) or sheet(s) thus obtained as optical compensator(s), the viewing angle characteristics of liquid crystal display devices can be remarkably improved.

The exposure unit (10) is constructed with an integral unmodulated light source (16) condensing light onto a substrate containing, in one embodiment, a multi-row sat (60) of deflectable mirrors. The deflection of each mirror is controlled by electronic circuitry established on the same monolithic integrated substrate. The substrate is arranged with mirror elements which can be adjusted easily during assembly to eliminate time consuming construction or maintenance routines. An optic structure (19) using integral light baffles and deflection edges, assures the proper contrast and light energy level at the image. In the case of multiple rows of pixels, the on-chip circuitry acts to reregister the spatially separated images through a suitable time delay. The formation of printed images of suitable uniformity and quality is achieved by the incorporation of an overlap factor relative to the multiple rows of pixels as defined on the integrated substrate.
