  • Publication number: 20100117933
    Abstract: A high definition and high resolution digital display system, which is computer operated and preferably in the form of a plasma operated display system. More preferably the display system may adopt the form of a television system. The computer controls the generation of the display on the display screen with X-Y coordinate signals such that the computer provides for generation of the display on the plasma screen. The display system may have those features which allow for a high resolution display system with high definition, if desired.

  • Patent number: 7064672
    Abstract: A high resolution and high definition digital display system which is computer operated and includes a high resolution display panel in the form of a television system. A computer in the housing controls the generation of a display on the display screen with X-Y coordinate signals. The display system has digital recording capability such that a signal from a remote source can be received and recorded in digital format. The display system is also constructed so that a removable drawer containing the electronic components can be removed for servicing without the need for transport of the entire display system.

  • Patent number: 6042256
    Abstract: A light device which is capable of generating a very diffuse light emission and, thus, avoids emission of a beam-light or a concentrated light. The device is highly effective as a personnel location indicator or decorative architectural item, since there is effectively no significant light beam. The light device is preferably designed for ground mounted use so as to serve as an indicator of a desired movement path or the like. The light devices comprises an outer housing with a source of light mounted within that housing. One of unique aspects of this lighting device is that it relies upon a fiber optic cable section which functions as a lens or filter through which light from the light source will pass. As the light passes through this lens, it becomes highly diffuse and, therefore, does not generate a light beam or source of concentrated light, as such. Rather, it merely generates a light at a ground level or other surface in which the device is mounted.
