    摘要: A novel thin planar latching switch device, generally based on a layer of polymeric switching materials sandwiched between two electrical planar conductors operative as electrodes. The device behaves as a bi-stable switch. Furthermore, the switch device generally shows a memory effect. In the open state, when no voltage is applied to the electrodes, the switching material is effectively an insulator. When an electric field greater than a certain threshold level is applied to the switching material, the material becomes more conductive, and the device thus essentially becomes a closed switch. Applications of such switching devices are described for use in flat panel displays, generally based on liquid crystals, in high efficiency color displays, and in touch screens.

    摘要: A gaming method for use with an interactive game which is played at a player unit having an interface device which is coupled to a television and to at least one communication network. The method includes displaying, via the interface device, the interactive game on the television, capturing a picture of a player, transferring the picture of the player to a headend, processing the picture of the player to create an avatar of the player, electronically assimilating the avatar into the interactive game, and enabling the player to interactively play the interactive game by controlling the avatar via the at least one communication network. In another preferred embodiment, a gaming method is provided for use with an interactive game in which, at a first player unit, a first interface device is coupled to a first television and to a communication network, and at a second player unit, a second interface device is coupled to a second television and to the communication network. The method includes displaying, via the first and second interface devices, the interactive game at the first and second televisions, and enabling a first player, playing at the first player unit, and a second player, playing at the second player unit, to play along with the interactive game by competing each against the other via the communication network.
