Assignee:

Delaware Capital Formation, Inc. - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

H01R 3302

US Classification:

439244, 439240

Appl. No.:

09/196114

Inventors:

Daniel E. Evanicky - San Jose CA
Charles Ford Alexander - Mountain View CA

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G08C 2100

US Classification:

345173, 345179, 178 1801, 178 1803, 178 1808

Abstract:

The invention provides a liquid crystal, TFT display with driver lines folded around a light pipe and a digitizer. The digitizer has grid routing lines folded around a shield where the shield is connected to a shield of the computer system electronics. The display drivers and grid controller are mounted inward of an edge of the display. The glass layers surrounding the beads can have different thicknesses and composition while the liquid crystal surrounding the beads can be at a pressure less than atmospheric pressure. A surface of the display provides pen/pencil on paper feel as a digitizer pen is moved across the surface via hardness coatings and surface topography.

Assignee:

Delaware Captial Formation, Inc. - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

F21V 700

US Classification:

362346, 362293, 362304, 362305, 362343, 2505031

Abstract:

A UV curing lamp is provided which includes a curved and reflective surface which may be a cold mirror and may redirect incident UV light toward a band-pass filter. The UV light may be reflected by the curved, reflective surface and transmitted through the band-pass filter whereas the IR and visible light may pass through the curved, reflective surface. The UV, IR, and visible light reflected by shutters and direct UV, IR, and visible light from the lamp are separated by the band-pass filter which transmits the UV light and reflects the IR and visible light.

International Classification:

F21V007/00

US Classification:

362346, 362293, 362298, 362373

Abstract:

A UV curing lamp is provided which includes a curved, reflective surface which redirects incident light toward a band-pass filter while bypassing the lamp. A heat sink is provided for the band-pass filter, the heat sink containing a woolen material such as aluminum wool. A portion of the light is reflected by the curved reflective surface and is transmitted through the band-pass filter and into the heat sink, the remainder of the light being reflected by the band-pass filter. The heat sink absorbs the light transmitted through the band-pass filter and dissipates the heat associated therewith.

Appl. No.:

11/852184

Inventors:

Bradley Hochberg - San Jose CA, US
Charles Alexander - Mountain View CA, US
Andrew Marsh - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

H04N 5/91

US Classification:

386 83, 386E05001

Abstract:

A method is provided to perform anti-aging techniques in an informational display. An informational display is located on the front bezel of a consumer recording device that displays information related to the content being recorded or played or the operation of the device. To increase the life of the display, displayed text is shifted within the display so that pixel use in the display is more evenly distributed with the pixels in the display. To determine the direction and shape of the shift, real-time calculations of pixel use are made or a simulator is used to compute the probable use of each pixel in the display over a certain period of time. Another anti-aging technique is to dim the display of information after a specified amount of time of display at normal brightness.
