Abstract: A monolythic multilayer chip inductor includes a plurality of subassemblies stacked one above another. Each of the subassemblies includes a ferrite layer having a coil conductor printed on its upper surface. All of the ferrite layers except for the bottom layer and a ferrite top cap include via holes therein for permitting interconnection of the electrical interconnection of the conductor coils from one layer to the other. One end of the top coil conductor is exposed adjacent the edge of the chip, and one end of the bottom coil conductor is exposed adjacent another edge of the chip so that the conductors can be connected to terminals for introducing electrical current which will pass through all of the interconnected coils.

Abstract: The touch panel system of the present invention is adapted for use with a rectangular screen for locating an object placed adjacent the face of the screen. The touch panel includes first and second sources of directional beams, first and second movable beam deflectors positioned in spaced relation to one another, and being movable in a scanning pattern for causing the first and second beams each to be deflected in a scanning pattern which sweeps angularly in a predetermined sweep time interval across the face of the rectangular screen. A reflector is positioned around the screen in such a manner as to be in the path of the beams as they are deflected by the first and second deflectors, and being capable of reflecting the beams at an angle of 180.degree. with respect to the angle at which they strike the reflector. First and second scan detectors are used to detect the end of each sweep of the beams.

Abstract: The display device of the present invention includes an upper top plate and a lower substrate, which are joined together to form a plasma filled envelope therebetween. At least one edge of the upper plate extends beyond the envelope, and includes anode drivers attached thereto. At least one edge of the substrate also extends beyond the envelope and includes cathode drivers attached thereto. The cathodes are connected to the cathode drivers and extend within the envelope in parallel relation to one another. The anodes are connected to the anode drivers and extend within the envelope in parallel relation to one another, and in a direction which is perpendicular to the cathodes.

Abstract: The dot matrix plasma display of the present invention comprises a plurality of parallel cathode strips mounted on the upper surface of a dielectric substrate. A glass plate is sealingly engaged over the upper surface of the substrate in spaced relation thereto so as to form an envelope therebetween. The undersurface of the glass plate includes a plurality of anode strips which extend in a direction parallel to one another and perpendicular to the cathode strips located on the substrate below. A dielectric film is printed over the cathode strips and includes a plurality of apertures therein which correspond to the junctures between the anode strips and the cathode strips, these junctures forming a dot matrix. Ionizable gas is contained within the envelope and is adapted to glow adjacent the junctures of any simultaneously actuated anode and cathode strips.The method for driving the dot matrix plasma display includes actuating the cathode strips one at a time sequentially.
