Abstract:
Systems for displaying images and fabrication method thereof are provided. A representative system incorporates an active matrix organic electroluminescent device that includes pixel areas, a pair of spaced pixel definition layers surrounding each pixel area, and a reflective layer formed on the surface of the pixel definition layers. Particularly, the pair of spaced pixel definition layers is separated by a trench, and the reflective layer covers the sidewalls and bottom of the trench.
Abstract:
Messaging interfaces that may be used in conjunction with interactive pagers include a housing that contains a message processing circuit, a user interface, and a communications circuit that is used to forward the text messages between the message processing circuit and an interactive pager. The user interface may be used to forward messages between a user of the interactive pager and the message processing circuit. The user interface may be a keypad (or any other collection of user-selectable keys, buttons, menu items, etc.), a microphone, an internal speaker and/or an external speaker such as the speakers on an automobile stereo system.
Abstract:
A light system for a vehicle wheel comprising at least one light source, at least one reflective body and an electrical power source operably coupled to the light source. The light source directs light toward the reflective body. In a preferred embodiment several spokes of a spoked wheel are replaced with reflective bodies, and a plurality of LEDs mounted in the inner hub of the spoked wheel direct light toward each reflective body spoke.
Abstract:
Clathrate hydrates and methods of their production and separation are described herein. Methods of using the clathrate hydrates for energy storage are also described herein. Further described herein are hydrogen storage devices.
Abstract:
An archery accuracy device, system, and method for improving archery accuracy that can be tailored for each archer and their current archery equipment is provided. The archery accuracy device may embody a wireless accelerometer and gyroscope sensors coupled to an auto graphing software adapted to graphically represent multiple sets of bow movement data collected by the accelerometer and gyroscope sensors. The graphical representation of multiple data sets, each data set associated with a different attempted shot, may be layered over each other on in one graphical representation, thereby enabling the archer to compare and contrast in their quest to optimize the best stabilization, setup condition through this iterative process.
Abstract:
The invention provides a ring for use in self-defense including a base with a band that is worn on a finger of a user, a blade fixed to the outer circumference of the band, wherein the blade protrudes from the outer circumference of the band, a base connecting mechanism joined to a portion of the blade that is fixed to the outer circumference of the band, and a ring top comprising a top connecting mechanism, and an ornamental top, wherein the top connecting mechanism is joined to a portion of the ornamental top.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for identifying ambient signal data in a test signal data set. A cumulative amplitude distribution of data elements is identified in the test signal data set in order by amplitude values. The data elements comprise frequency values and corresponding amplitude values. A subset of data elements from the test signal data set is identified. The subset of data elements comprises the data elements with the amplitude values greater than a first threshold value. The data elements in the subset of data elements are identified wherein a difference between the amplitude values of adjacent data elements in the cumulative amplitude distribution of data elements is greater than a second threshold value.
Abstract:
A fluid-powered, helical rotary actuary is provided. The actuary includes a housing, a shaft with output ends positioned in the housing, and a piston sleeve surrounding the shaft and also positioned within the housing. The shaft includes a groove for receiving a collar. The collar creates a false shoulder such that the shaft is able to have the same diameter along the length of the shaft, thus allowing for a larger working area and more torque output density. The actuary also includes a support ring positioned on the shaft near the splined portion of the output end. The support ring is used to stabilize the attachment of an external member, and also to protect the shaft from damage caused by the splined receiving portion of the external member, or hub.
Abstract:
A method for conducting encrypted communication in a network and a network having a plurality of nodes organized into a plurality of groups which initiates encrypted communication between a first one of the plurality of nodes of a first one of the plurality of groups and a second one of the plurality of nodes of the first one of the plurality of groups different from the first one of the plurality of groups using a group key and initiates encrypted communication between a third one of the plurality of nodes of the first one of the plurality of groups and a fourth one of the plurality of nodes of a second one of the plurality groups different from the first one of the plurality of groups using a session key.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for managing machining. A desired level of engagement of a tool may be identified with a workpiece. A tool path for the tool may be generated relative to the workpiece. The tool path may have a number of levels of engagement of the tool with the workpiece along the tool path. The number of levels of engagement of the tool with the workpiece along the tool path may be based on the desired level of engagement.
