  • Patent number: 9989694
    Abstract: There is provided an electronic appliance having an improved structure enabling multi-image conversion. The electronic appliance includes a display device configured to display a plurality of images, wherein the display device includes first and second images that are selectively displayed on a screen. A first light-guiding layer is disposed between the screen and a second light-guiding layer, and two light sources disposed to selectively illuminate the first light-guiding layer and the second light-guiding layer. The second light-guiding layer has a thickness that is 25% to 45% greater than a thickness of the first light-guiding layer such that an intensity of light that is emitted from the first light source and introduced into the second light-guiding layer is greater than an intensity of light that is emitted from the second light source and introduced into the first light-guiding layer.

  • Patent number: 4893496
    Abstract: A guided torsional wave sensor has a cross-section with a strong interaction of torsional wave energy and the surrounding fluid, such that a wave propagates in the sensor with a functional dependence on a single fluid characteristic. In one embodiment, the sensor body is optimized for fluid density. Diamond, polyhedral and curved-sided embodiments are described. In another embodiment, the sensor body responds to fluid viscosity. This embodiment is preferably hollow, and may include threaded, fractal or roughened surface features to enhance viscous coupling. Different systems include further sensors, sensors with portions of differing profile, and special mounting or activation structures.
