  • Optically integrated device
    Patent number: 7050679
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optically integrated device, and more particularly, to an optically integrated device with low light loss. The optically integrated device includes an optical condenser to condense the light before the light enters an optical integrator. A color filter is attached on the optical integrator to filter through a portion of the light, and reflect the other portion of the light into the optical integrator. The optically integrated device recycles the reflected light inside the optical integrator to prevent the light loss.

  • Method and system for selective electro-thermolysis of skin targets
    Patent number: 7041100
    Abstract: A method for non-invasive selective thermal destruction of a skin target by RF current. One or more characteristics of an RF current and a bipolar RF electrode system are determined based upon one or more features of the target in order to create in the target an average energy density exceeding 5 Joules/cm3 but lower than a skin coagulation level. The determined electrode system is then applied to the skin and an average energy density exceeding 5 Joules/cm3 but lower than a skin coagulation level is generated in the target.

  • Device for measurement of rotational angle of two components relative to each other
    Patent number: 7041961
    Abstract: A device for measuring the rotational angle of two components that can be rotated relative to each other has a shaft that can be securely coupled to the first component, and coaxially houses a light source and a materialized measure through which the light source shines. A sensing device can be securely coupled to the second component. The interior measure has an angular lattice structure and the sensing device has a coaxially arranged circular track of optical sensor elements, by means of which incremental angle measurement is possible. At least one marker element is also provided on the materialized measure that influences the sensor element corresponding to its absolute angle position. The sensor elements can be electronically polled individually in order to determine the absolute angle position.

  • Image display device
    Patent number: 7036021
    Abstract: An authentication/decryption unit authenticates and decrypts video signals received from a video signal output device. An open-condition detector detects the open condition of a cabinet. A memory stores therein one of a first flag indicating that an authentication operation of the authentication/decryption unit is enabled and a second flag indicating that an authentication operation of the authentication/decryption unit is disabled. A micro-controller controls whether the authentication operation of the authentication/decryption unit will be enabled or disabled according to the flag in the memory. When the open-condition detector detects that the cabinet is opened, the micro-controller writes the second flag into the memory.
