Abstract: The invention facilitates the identification of a pattern in an image by displaying a multiplicity of versions of the image in sequence at a specified rate. The display of each version of the image includes only pixels having a specified grayscale value or a grayscale value in a specified range of grayscale values that is smaller than the range of grayscale values for all pixels of the image. Each pixel displayed in a version of the image is displayed in the color corresponding to the grayscale value of that pixel. The specified grayscale value or range of grayscale values for which pixels are displayed in each successive displayed version of the image is incremented or decremented from the specified grayscale value or range of grayscale values for which pixels are displayed in the immediately previous displayed version of the image by a specified grayscale value increment or decrement.

Abstract: A composite longitudinally balanced electrically conductive yarn has a textile fiber core yarn wrapped with a minimum of two, and a maximum four, filaments. One to four of the filaments are metal filaments with the remainder being synthetic filaments. Each metal filament has an equivalent diameter of between 20 and 80 microns, and a wrap frequency of between 200 and 600 turns per meter. At least one of the metal filaments is wrapped in one direction, and at least one of the remaining filaments is wrapped in the opposite direction. The composite yarns of this invention is capable of elongation to accommodate tensile stresses under use, without experiencing a change in conductivity.
