Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for displaying N-bit color on a plurality of pixels on a monitor includes, for each pixel, receiving a value indicative of one of a plurality of possible values for the level of intensity desired to be displayed on the pixel. The value is representable by N binary bits including a least significant bit. During a given time frame, the method includes providing an on state for the pixel for a continuous fractional portion of the given time frame. The fractional portion is indicative of the received value. The given time frame includes a fixed portion followed by a variable portion. For any of the possible values for the level of intensity, the time at which the pixel is turned on during the fixed portion, if at all, is independent of the least significant bit.
Reversible Mount Gate Latch With Manual Latch Locking
A gate latch structure with a striker bar mounted on a fence gate hinge mounted on a fence. The latch structure also includes a pivot latch member pivotally mounted on a latch mounting back plate mountable on a fence post or the middle end of the other half of a double gate with the pivot latch member and the back plate symmetrical for turn over mounting adaption to left hand opening and right hand opening gate sections. The striker bar receiving opening in the pivot latch member has a rear edge recessed back from the rear end of the striker bar receiving opening in the latch mounting back plate. The back plate has upper and lower striker bar entrance guide ramps and the pivot latch member has two entrance lifting ramps only one in use depending on right or left gate mounting by entrance of the striker bar. Pivot latch member pivotal movement about the pivot screw mounting thereof is limited by a limit screw engaging an end of an arcuate slot therein. A latched state manual lock structure is also provided with a "V" opening in a rear extension of the backing plate and a locking pin positioned along a slot in the pivot latch member moveable into and out of locking position in the "V" opening.
A disposable moisture detection component manufactured from a water soluble conductive polymer film-forming and printable mixture with a resistivity of 100 ohms or less. Moisture detection component is embedded in incontinent articles such as diapers and bedpans. Conductive polymer dissolves in the presences of urine or feces and when connected to an electronic circuit, provides diaper status to a caregiver.

G08B 21/20 G01N 27/04
Abstract:
Wireless moisture detection system using water soluble insulated wire or water soluble conductors as sensor inputs to a programmed microcontroller to determine if the water soluble sensors have been penetrated by moisture dissolving the soluble materials and changing the electrical characteristics of the sensor providing an interrupt to the microcontroller to signal the presence of moisture for the monitor to wirelessly communicate to the monitoring system.
