摘要:
An apparatus of one embodiment of the invention is disclosed that includes a number of micro-electromechanical (MEM) devices, a charge source, and at least one discharge path. Each MEM device has a plurality of different states based on a charge induced thereon. The charge source is to induce the charge thereon such that the MEM devices each enter one of the states. The at least one discharge paths are for the plurality of MEM devices, and along which the charge induced thereon is dischargeable.

A display system includes a housing having at least one optical window and at least one charge-controlled spatial light-modulator disposed within the housing. The at least one spatial light-modulator is configured to project an image-bearing light beam to a viewing surface through the at least one optical window. The system further includes at least one electron gun selectively positioned at a predetermined angle with respect to the at least one spatial light-modulator. The electron gun is configured to project an electron beam into the housing to impinge a front surface of the at least one spatial light-modulator.

A combination interlock and stopper device for a food waste disposer includes a first end receivable in a drain opening to plug the drain opening with a first handle attached thereto. Stopping members are attached to the first end that have at least a portion thereof extending beyond the outer periphery of the first end for engaging a ledge of the drain opening. The device further includes a second end opposite the first end, with a magnet attached to the second end to selectively actuate the food waste disposer when the second end is inserted into the drain opening. A second handle is attached to the second end.
