PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electroactive material and/or beneficial agent with a solubilizing moiety that remedies detriments and/or complications associated with the incorporation of the electroactive material and the beneficial agent into a suitable electrochromic medium at an operatively acceptable concentration. SOLUTION: The electrochromic medium for use in an electrochromic device includes a substrate having a front and rear surface, a second substrate having a front and rear surface, and a chamber, substrates that may be coated with electrically conductive materials having a bonding sealing member, at least one solvent as cathodic electroactive material, an anodic electroactive material, and an optional beneficial agent, where at least one of the cathodic electroactive material, anodic electroactive material and/or beneficial agent is associated with a solubilizing moiety which serves to increase solubility of the associated material or beneficial agent relative to the same without the solubilizing moiety.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an illuminator assembly which projects effective white illumination and has hues to be combined so that visible light emission forms the white illumination having mutually complementary and an equal-conditioned color when excited. SOLUTION: This illuminator assembly is constituted such that a plurality of LEDs are provided for a vehicular supporting member so that when all the LEDs are excited, a first received light hue, for example, illumination which presents a blue-green color and is projected from at least one of the LEDs is different from the first received hue and overlapped and mixed, forms the white color of the equal-conditioned color and has sufficient strength and color-rendering quality to form the effective illuminator, for example, illumination presenting amber color.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrophilic coating suitable for the use with an electrochromic mirror. SOLUTION: An electrochromic mirror element (124) is provided, in which the index of reflectance is changed according to the applied voltage. The electrochromic mirror element has a first transparent base material (112). A front face of the first transparent base material works as a front face of the electrochromic mirror element. In addition, a hydrophilic optical coating (130) having an optical catalyst layer is adhered to the front face of the electrochromic mirror element. A color-compensation and color-suppressing coating (131) is arranged on the surface of the first base material. The color-compensation and color-suppression coating has a mean refractive index between the refractive index of the first base material and the refractive index of the optical catalyst layer.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: To maintain polarization state for a long time in an environment containing humidity by polarizing an inductor coated on the surface of conductive support body using liquid solvent and forming an electret. CONSTITUTION: A ceramic wafer 100 is punched with holes 64 and 66, a circuit plate 40 is laser-cut 102 and given a scribe line 104, plating regions 68, 70, 74, 76, 78, 80 and 84 of Pd-silver and gold are formed and a gate and source resistors 82 and 86 are fixed on the lower surface of each circuit plate 40. After spraying teflon-fluorocarbon inductor by applying a mask with a specific shape in the front of the circuit plate 40, the solvent is evaporated with heat and an inductor 54 layer with a specific thickness is formed. After that, FET 72 is fixed, lead wires are connected to the regions 70, 74 and 78 and the circuit plate 40 is snapped off along the line 104. Then the circuit plate 40 is connected to a power supplier to supply electric power to the layer of the inductor 54 for a specific time and the power supplier is disconnected and the circuit plate 40 is cooled so that polarization state is obtained. After that, by using the circuit plate 40, a microphone is assembled.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide electro-optic devices, more particularly, to provide electrochromic devices used in architectural windows or vehicle rearview mirrors. SOLUTION: To allow the electrochromic device to have little or no offset between its front and rear elements, an electrical conductor may be provided to electrically couple a portion of a first conductive layer provided on the rear surface of the front element with a portion of a second conductive layer provided on the front surface of the rear element. The electrical conductor may be in the form of a conductive portion of a seal. To prevent shorting across an electrochromic medium, at least one of the first and second conductive layers is separated into a first portion and a second portion that is electrically isolated from the first portion, and is in electrical contact with electrochromic material. An elastomeric bezel may be utilized. Also, an edge seal may optionally be employed so as to reduce the need or width of the bezel. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic compass for vehicle, and more particularly pertains to electronic compasses having improved data filtering and/or heading determination. SOLUTION: An electronic compass system (100) includes a magnetic sensor circuit (102) having at least two sensing elements (104, 106, 108) for sensing perpendicular components of the Earth's magnetic field vector. A processing circuit (110) is coupled to the sensor circuit to process and compute a heading. The processing circuit further selects an approximating geometric pattern, such as a sphere, ellipsoid, ellipse, or circle, determines an error metric of the data points relative to the approximating pattern, adjusts the pattern to minimize the error, thereby acquiring a best fit pattern. The best fit pattern is then used to keep on calculating the heading for each successive sensor reading until a new best fit pattern is identified provided that the noise level is not noisy. The electronic compass system is particularly well suited for implementation in a vehicle rearview mirror assembly (140). COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
