An illumination device for use in display devices produces a spatial pattern of light at different wavelengths using multiple light sources and waveguides. Each light source emits light at a different wavelength. The waveguides define optical apertures that are spatially arranged in a predetermined pattern, and each waveguide is optically coupled to one of the light sources to produce the spatial pattern of light at wavelengths corresponding to the predetermined pattern.

A digital pixel driver that operates in response to an M-bit digital input value defining the apparent brightness of the pixel. The pixel driver generates a pixel drive signal having a duty cycle that sets the apparent brightness of the pixel. The pixel driver comprises a memory, a digital sequence generator and a comparator. The memory receives and stores an N-bit word that represents the digital input value. The digital sequence generator generates a digital sequence of P-bit digital values that defines the temporal duration of the pixel drive signal and includes a first P-bit word that represents at least part of the digital input value at a location temporally corresponding to the duty cycle of the pixel drive signal as defined by the at least part of the digital input value. The comparator is connected to receive the digital sequence from the digital sequence generator and a second P-bit word from the memory. The second P-bit word constitutes at least part of the N-bit word. The comparator includes an output that provides the pixel drive signal and that changes state in response to correspondence between the first P-bit word and the second P-bit word.

摘要:
Stem cell reprogramming genes cloned into a single sustained expression-type Sendai viral vector are shown to reprogram differentiated somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells without integration of vector sequences into the host cell's genome. The genes are transduced into normal differentiated somatic cells via infection with recombinant Sendai virus. After expression of the reprogramming genes and subsequent induction of pluripotency, the vector genome RNA including the reprogramming genes is removed from the cell to establish an iPS cell that is genetically identical to the parent somatic differentiated cell thus reducing the risk of tumorigenic transformation caused by random integration of vector sequences into the host genome. The method promises to provide safe, autologous iPS cells that can be used for human cell replacement and regeneration therapeutic applications.
