摘要： Illumination provided to the interior of a convex surface can be controlled using a plurality of internal barriers separating light sources such as light emitting diodes. Such controlled illumination can simulate phases of the moon using logic which can be limited to yes or no Boolean decisions, thereby minimizing the complexity of required input.

A microprocessor (18) reads signals from the first interface circuit (12) and reads the last determined position of the device from a GPS positioning circuit (8) in the housing (5), and also reads the identity of the device (1), a phone number of the base station to which a message indicative of the emergency is to be communicated and a message indicative of the emergency from a programmable memory (10). The microprocessor (18) prepares an activating signal which comprises the identity and position of the device (1), the phone number of the base station and the message, which is transmitted with a time label through a Bluetooth transmitter/receiver (20) to the mobile phone (3). The activating signal activates the mobile phone (3) to relay the data contained in the activating signal to the base station.

摘要： The variable stiffness heating catheter includes a heating catheter shaft including at least one electrically conductive member, a reinforcing tube with apertures formed around the surface of the reinforcing tube, and at least one coaxial outer layer of a polymer, metal, or both for providing desired variations in stiffness along at least a portion of the length of the shaft. The apertures can be formed as axial or helical slits in the surface of the reinforcing tube, and the reinforcing tube can also be formed to be tapered at the point where the apertures are formed in the reinforcing tube to provide a heating catheter that is torqueable and pushable at the proximal end, yet soft and flexible at the distal end.

摘要： An array of display elements (e.g., pixels) in a display device (e.g., a spatial light modulator) may be digitally driven using pulse width modulated waveforms. Pulse width modulated waveforms may be locally generated to controllably drive each pixel in display systems with digital storage. A pixel drive circuit having a waveform generator may receive first digital data indicative of an optical output from an associated first display element. Moreover, second digital data indicative of a common reference with respect to a second display element may also be received at the first display element for comparison purposes. As a result, in one embodiment, a pulse width modulated waveform that includes only a single transition separating a first pulse interval and a second pulse interval may be generated based on a pixel value and a global count value instead of relying upon adding up multiple non-overlapping waveforms to drive a pixel.

摘要： A system and method provide for precision guiding of agricultural vehicles along a series of adjacent paths to form rows for cultivating a field. In one aspect of the invention the vehicle is moved along a first path while receiving positioning information from a navigational system (e.g., RTK GPS). This positioning information is stored in a processor and is used by the processor to compute a second path adjacent to said first path by calculating piecewise perpendicular offsets from the first path at multiple locations along the first path. The process is repeated to compute a third and subsequent paths so as to cover the field. Because of the offset process, the field may be covered with paths that have varying curvature along their length, while providing substantially no gaps or overlaps in the coverage of the field. In another aspect of the invention, the system may propose alternative paths and the user can intervene by steering the vehicle or using a graphical user interface to select among the alternative paths. A still further aspect of the invention allows for the recording of the paths that provide coverage of a field in the form of a template. This template can then be used to cause the vehicle to automatically steer along a previously calculated path in subsequent operations on the field, and in subsequent years.

摘要： Pulse-width modulation may be utilized to drive one or more display elements of a display (e.g. pixels of a liquid crystal display system) comprising a controller that supplies digital information including global and local digital information to a respective signal generator associated with each display element operably coupled to the controller for receiving the digital information. In one embodiment, a spatial light modulator includes a respective local drive circuit associated with each pixel of a pixel array, and a global drive circuit operably coupled to the pixel array for digitally driving the pixel electrodes. Each local drive circuit may include a pixel logic, a digital storage, and pulse-width modulation circuitry. The global drive circuit may include a control logic, and a memory storing global digital information indicative of a common reference (e.g., a count value) and local digital information (e.g., a pixel value) indicative of an optical output from each pixel. Based on the global and local digital information, the pixel logic and control logic may cooperatively determine a transition separating a first pulse interval and a second pulse interval in a modulated signal generated for each pixel.
