摘要:
The invention includes providing a display by moving a colorant particle, having an electric charge, inside a channel of a body in a direction that is substantially parallel to a direction of extension of the channel and a direction of incoming illumination rays. The colorant particle can be moved between a position at a bottom of the channel and at a top of the channel by the force of an electric field generated by a charge at the bottom of the channel. The invention can be applied to an analog dot display as well as a digital dot display. The invention covers methods of manufacturing the displays discussed above. The invention is also not limited to covering displays, and also covers at least print media, wherein colorant particles are locked at appropriate locations within the channels, either temporarily or permanently.

摘要:
A system and method for automating the processing and handling of speeding tickets and similar citations. The system acquires, stores, processes and resolves data associated with the speed detection and video capture of an incident of a vehicle breaking the speed limit. The system includes provisions for data capture, data transfer to an online database, and online plea and payment processing, including online access and electronic notification of the citizen, police and justice department. The invention thereby provides for faster processing, higher efficiency in processing, lower cost to the police and justice departments for processing tickets, and improved accuracy since less human involvement is required.

An electrophoretic display device uses a liquid-phase electrophoretic material not confined in a shell. An electrophoresis chamber with the electrophoretic material hermetically sealing therein is mounted in a substrate. Also, a display section, a data communication section, a driver section, and a power reception section are mounted on the substrate. The data communication section is communicable with an external device to receive data to be displayed in the display section. The driver section is provided for driving the display section. To supply power to various sections of the display device, the power reception section is provided for wirelessly being supplied with power from an external station. A panel is mated with the substrate to cover the data communication section, the driver section, and the power reception section while exposing a transparent cover plate of the display section.
摘要:
An apparatus for forming an image using an electrophoretic particle suspension containing media including: a transitioner for sufficiently lowering a viscosity of the suspension to facilitate mobility of at least some of the electrophoretic particles; and, imaging electrodes for selectively providing an imaging electric field associated with the image to be formed and positioned with respect to the transitioner such that the imaging electric field impinges upon the lowered viscosity suspension; wherein, the imaging electric field is sufficient to cause select ones of the electrophoretic particles in the lowered viscosity suspension to migrate depending upon the image to be formed. The media includes a plurality of substrates defining an interior hollow including an electrophoretic particle containing, phase-transitional suspension suitable for enabling migration of the electrophoretic particles responsively to an applied electric field in a first state and substantially impeding migration of the particles in a second state.

A method for providing command functionality for a computing device. The method includes the steps of displaying at least one control icon using a first focal plane; and, displaying a working environment using at least a second focal plane distinct from the first focal plane; wherein, the first focal plane appears at least partially superimposed upon the at least second focal plane.
