Abstract: A light-emitting display system has an alignment mechanism to align or angle light-emitting tiles of the display. A first tile connects to a second tile by joining a first clamp portion on the first tile with a second clamp portion on the second tile. In an implementation, the alignment mechanism includes a replaceable angle adjustment insert that is inserted into at least one of the clamp portions, such as the first clamp portion. When the first and second clamp portions are joined, a surface of the second clamp portion presses against the insert and a desired angle between the first and second tile is formed. The insert can have any angle so that any desired angle can be formed between the first and second tiles.

Abstract: A display system, a light emitting tile, and a method of constructing a display system are provided. In one embodiment, a display system comprises a support structure having a plurality of attachment members, and a plurality of tiles. Each of the plurality of tiles has an attachment point configured to couple to one of the plurality of attachment members. Furthermore, at least one of the plurality of tiles includes at least one connection configured to couple and align the at least one of the plurality of tiles to another one of the plurality of tiles.

Abstract: A display system is described having a plurality of display units, wherein each of the display units is movable between at least a first position and a second position, and wherein each display unit is provided with at least a first light emitting element. Each display unit may be configured to be rotatable about an axis thereof, such that the first position is defined as a first angular position of rotation about the axis, and the second position is defined as a second angular position of rotation about the axis.

Abstract: A light emitting apparatus and a method of displaying an image therewith is disclosed. The light emitting apparatus includes a spine and a rib. The rib is attached to the spine and includes a plurality of alternating nodes and connection links. At least one of the connection links is thinner in cross-section than at least one of the nodes. The light emitting apparatus then further includes a connector to attach multiple light emitting apparatuses together. The light emitting apparatus further includes a plurality of pixels, in which the pixels are configured to receive a data signal and power.

Abstract: A light emitting system to illuminate ice and a method for illuminating ice are disclosed herein. The system includes multiple light emitting modules that each includes a light source having at least one light emitting element and a cover having a base. The base substantially surrounds the light source. The light emitting modules may then be electrically connected to each other.

Abstract: A light emitting apparatus and method of manufacturing thereof are disclosed. The light emitting apparatus includes a plurality of printed circuit boards connected to one another, a light emitting element disposed on and electrically connected to each printed circuit board, and at least one connector disposed between the printed circuit boards. The method of manufacturing the light emitting apparatus includes disposing a light emitting element on a plurality of printed circuit boards, arranging planar surfaces of the plurality of printed circuit boards substantially opposite, and connecting the plurality of printed circuit boards to one another.

Abstract: Waxy barley grain is processed by a series of processing steps to produce beta-glucan solids, a bran residue, a protein concentrate, barley oil and a maltose syrup in uncontaminated form. The process involves steps of mixing a meal produced from waxy barley grain with water, separating barley solids and a water extract, heating the water extract and separating coagulated protein and beta-glucan solids, mixing the barley solids with water and separating a bran fraction and crude starch, forming a dough from the crude starch and separating gluten and waxy barley starch from the dough, mixing the bran fraction with water and enzymes to carry out starch conversion and produce a liquid mixture, separating solids from the liquid mixture, extracting the solids with alcohol to produce oil and recovering maltose syrup from liquid remaining after separating the solids.

Abstract: Waxy barley grain of reduced particle size is heated to inactivate natural enzymes to obtain an enzyme inactivated meal, and beta-glucans are extracted from the meal with water. Preferably, inactivation of enzymes is by heating at about 90.degree.-115.degree. C. for about 1 to 2 hours. Solids obtained by separation during extraction are treated with alpha-amylase, beta-amylase and beta-glucanase to obtain starch conversion. Barley oil, high protein concentrate and maltose syrup are recovered.
