  • Display system with finger sensing
    Patent number: 11960683
    Abstract: A display system for sensing a finger of a user applied to the display system includes a display panel; a sensor for sensing the finger; a sensing light source configured to emit a first light having a first wavelength W1; and a reflective polarizer disposed between the display panel and the sensor. For a substantially normally incident light, an optical transmittance of the reflective polarizer versus wavelength for a first polarization state has a band edge such that for a first wavelength range extending from a smaller wavelength L1 to a greater wavelength L2 and including W1, where 30 nm?L2?L1?50 nm and L1 is greater than and within about 20 nm of a wavelength L3 corresponding to an optical transmittance of about 50% along the band edge, the optical transmittance has an average of greater than about 75%.

  • Police baton with rotatable crosshandle
    Patent number: 4132409
    Abstract: A police baton or billy having a short crosshandle extending therefrom to enable a high-speed sweeping motion and other defensive maneuvers of the baton. The crosshandle has a rotatable sleeve or ring which is gripped by part of the hand when the baton is spun about the crosshandle axis. A stationary portion of the handle adjacent the sleeve is gripped to decelerate the baton at the end of the spinning or sweeping motion.

  • Turns-counting dial
    Patent number: 3991702
    Abstract: A turns-counting dial for multi-turn potentiometers and the like, and having an intermittent-motion mechanism connecting a shaft-mounted control knob to a turns-counting ring. An interrupted-tooth gear coupled to the turns-counting ring is locked against rotation except during turns-counting movement by a flange on a coupling ring positioned radially inwardly of the gear within the dial. This arrangement provides secure locking of the turns-counting dial, provides flexibility in the number of turns to be counted, enables use of relatively low-tolerance parts, and strengthens the intermittent-motion mechanism against breakage or distortion if torque is applied to the turns-counting ring.
