Abstract: A 4-pin telephone jack adapter which alters the pin configuration of a 4-pin telephone jack such that the phone line connected to the two outer pins of the jack is connected to the two inner pins of the adapter and be accessible to a one-line telephone set. The 4-pin telephone jack adapter can have two receptacle one of which alters the pin configuration of a 4-pin telephone jack while the other has the same pin configuration. With such an adapter, two one-line telephone sets can separately access to two phone lines connected to a 4-pin telephone jack. The same pin connection can be applied to a telephone cable coupler and a telephone extension cable.

Abstract: A 3D photographic printer and printing method wherein a stationary projection lens is used to project a series of 2D views each at a different projection angle onto a stationary lenticular print material. The aperture of the projection lens is sufficient large to cover the entire width of each of the lenticules on the print material. The lens aperture is mechanically or optically partitioned into a number of sections so that only one section is opened to allow a 2D view to be exposed at a different projection angle.

Abstract: A 3D printer for producing 3D photographs on lenticular print material in which a video monitor is used to display stored digital 2D images of different views of a scene for exposure. Prior to printing, one of the stored 2D image is displayed on a viewing monitor and the key subject image of the displayed 2D image is selected. Based on the location of the selected key subject image, the computer searches for the key subject location of each of the other stored 2D images and electronically shifts the 2D images so that the key subject location of all different views is the same. During printing, the electronically shifted 2D images are sequentially displayed on the video monitor and projected through a projection lens onto the lenticular screen at different projection angles.

Abstract: A 3D camera having a plurality of taking lenses fixedly spaced to take a plurality of 2D images of a scene at different viewing angles wherein the parallax in 2D images can be controlled by adjusting the spacing between diaphragm stops behind the taking lenses.

Abstract: Cells, such as liquid crystal display cells, having a material contained between a pair of parallel, spaced-apart substrates, are sealed to prevent permeation therein of vapor which is potentially harmful to the material contained within the cell, by reducing the area of relatively high permeation material at the cell boundary and/or by completely enclosing the boundary in a permeation resistant barrier of inorganic material.
