  • Patent number: 8061599
    Abstract: A structural system for optimizing the performance of a millimeter wave concealed object detection system is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a shell is provided to house and protect the millimeter wave concealed object detection system so that the detection system can operate optimally in a controlled and managed environment by eliminating or mitigating spurious millimeter wave emissions or reflections from outside or inside the shell. The shell can be free-standing or attached to a parent structure. The entry and exit to the system is controlled by entry and exit barriers. In addition, an inspection lane is configured according to each particular application to guide a subject through the detection system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4840459
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display which incorporates auxiliary repair lines which cross over the main address lines of the display. The repair lines can be electrically shorted to address lines at their crossover points to repair open circuited address lines. The repair may be driven from drive pads on either end to supply signals to otherwise open-circuited address lines. After a repair line has been short circuited to an address line, the remaining portion of the repair line is cut off to form a second repair line drivable from the driver pad connected to their portion of the line.
