  • 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%.

  • Dust collection system for a machine
    Patent number: 9388692
    Abstract: A dust collection tube arrangement is provided. The tube arrangement includes an outer tube and an inner tube. The outer tube and the inner tube have a hollow configuration. The inner tube has a diameter lesser than that of the outer tube. The inner tube moves fore and aft with respect to the outer tube. The outer and inner tubes provide a passage for dust and airflow along with adjustable length of tube arrangement based on a position of the inner tube with respect to the outer tube.
