Abstract: A MEMS optical display system includes an illumination source for providing illumination light, a collimating lens for receiving the illumination light and forming from it collimated illumination light, and a converging microlens array having an array of lenslets that converge the collimated illumination light. The converging microlens array directs the illumination light to a microelectrical mechanical system (MEMS) optical modulator. The MEMS optical modulator includes, for example, a planar substrate through which multiple pixel apertures extend and multiple MEMS actuators that support and selectively position MEMS shutters over the apertures. A MEMS actuator and MEMS shutter, together with a corresponding aperture, correspond to pixel. The light from the converging microlens array is focused through the apertures and is selectively modulated according to the positioning of the MEMS shutters by the MEMS actuators, thereby to impart image information on the illumination light. The light is then passed to a diffused transmissive display screen by a projection microlens array. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a self-locking and -releasing connector group, for the connection of two components, at least one of which comprises a hole for the partial introduction of the connector group and which is preferably a corner fitting on a sea freight container. Said group comprises a housing (2), at least one locking component (170), which can be displaced back and forth between a released position and a closed position, a stop component, displaceably mounted on the housing, whereby the housing may be fixed to one of the components and the locking component, in the released position thereof, may be inserted in the hole of the other component, during the relative manoeuvring of the components to be fixed together. Said stop component is moved, relative to the housing, by the other component during further relative manoeuvring of the components, which moves the locking component from the released position into the locked position, in which it engages with the undercut in the longitudinal hole, thus locking the two components together. The group further comprises a locking device (182), which prevents a displacement of the locking component (170), from the locked position into the released position, on a separation of the two components which are locked together, when the above are accelerated above a certain level and/or displaced from the rest position.

Abstract: A user inputs digital data to a companion system such as a PDA, a cell telephone, an applicance, device using a virtual input device such as an image of a keyboard. A sensor captures three-dimensional positional information as to location of the user's fingers in relation to where keys would be on an actual keyboard. This information is processed with respect to finger locations and velocities and shape to determine when virtual keys would have been struck. The processed digital information is output to the companion system. The companion system can display an image of a keyboard, including an image of a keyboard showing user fingers, and/or alphanumeric text as such data is input by the user on the virtual input device.

Abstract: Doppler Velocimetry is a widely used method for estimating stroke volume (SV). The accuracy and reliability of its measurement however, is dependant on   a) the correct assessment of the aortic valve cross-sectional area (CSA), and   b) the maximal systolic velocity integral (SVI).   The invention avoids the conventional assessment of aortic valve CSA by using a calibration method: a reference stroke volume SVREF is determined by a method different from Doppler velocimetry, e. g. by thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB), or thoracic electrical bioadmittance, measured via surface thorax electrodes (transthoracic approach) or via electrodes located directly on an esophageal catheter / probe (esophageal approach). In the latter case, if esophageal Doppler velocimetry is used, the same catheter can be used for the placement of the electrodes and for an ultrasound transducer to be place approximately in the center the electrodes. In the case of esophageal Doppler velocimetry, an additional benefit of the invention is that the Doppler catheter / probe does not need to be aimed precisely at the site of maximum flow amplitude, as long as a stable catheter / probe location is maintained within the esophagus.
