Patent EP-1266346-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SCOTT WALTER GUY
IPC: H02N2/00
Filed: 2001-03-23
Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for sensing biometric information in a finger with piezo ceramic elements. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes an array of discrete piezo ceramic elements and filler. The array of discrete piezo ceramic elements is responsive to acoustic characteristics of parts of the finger. The filler is distributed between the discrete piezo ceramic elements and provides acoustic attenuation and electric isolation between the discrete piezo ceramic elements. A protective layer can receive a ridge pattern of the finger positioned proximate to the array. Air in valleys between ridges of the ridge pattern of the finger acts as an acoustic barrier. A backing layer (air or foam) can also be provided.

Title: Auxiliary optics for outdoor led video panels
Inventor: OTTO ALEXANDER
IPC: H04N5/72
Filed: 2001-08-24
Abstract: A video panel is disclosed, fitted with LEDs of precise SMD construction, comprising an auxiliary optic for open-air display, which improves the visibility and contrast of the display in any incident sunlight conditions, whereby a mirroring and reflection of the sunlight is avoided in the observed region and at the same time a good light distribution is achieved. A light guide rod (3) is arranged directly in front of each LED (2), the cross-sectional direction and orientation of which, relative to the LED (2), is such that the total incident useful light is transmitted by total reflection on the walls (5) and directed into the observed region (B) and incident sunlight (7) cannot reach the LED (2), either due to multiple total reflection in the incident direction or by being returned outside the observed region (B), or by impinging the walls (5) of the light guide rods (3) at a steeper angle than the limiting angle for total reflection, escaping there and being absorbed by a surrounding housing (9). Further, interfering surface reflections are avoided by correspondingly angled light emitting surfaces (6).

Abstract: A high efficiency centerless grinding method capable of
grinding the tip portion of bar-shape work, assuring high
coaxiality and cylindricity even in case of work having extremely
small diameter. The base portion (Wa) of work (W) is pressed
and supported by pressure roller (4) against regulating wheel
(2), forcibly rotating the work (W), and the work (W) is fed
by pusher (5) in the axial direction in order to grind the tip
portion (Wb) of work (W) by grinding wheel (1). In this way,
even when the tip portion (Wb) of work (W) is extremely small
in diameter, the lengthwise grinding of the work (W) may be
accurately controlled, and the tip portion (Wb) of work (W) is
ground in accordance with the diameter of the base portion (Wa) .
As a result, it is possible to grind the work (W) into a stepped
work (W) in a short time with little deflection in axial center
of the work (W) while assuring high coaxiality and cylindricity.
