Abstract: A method and system for displaying an image in three dimensions during a frame period. The method includes generating a left image sub-frame and a right image sub-frame. The left image sub-frame defines a visual perspective of a left eye and the right image sub-frame defines a visual perspective of a right eye for the image. The method further includes displaying the left image sub-frame utilizing a first plurality of colors and displaying the right image sub-frame utilizing a second plurality of colors. The first plurality of colors is distinct from the second plurality of colors.

Abstract: A storage device allows the state of charge of a main battery to be determined by measuring the state of charge of a dummy battery. The storage device may provide power to an electronic appliance such as a portable computer. The main and dummy batteries each have a storage capacity and a self-discharge rate. The storage capacity of the dummy battery is less than the storage capacity of the main battery; for example, the storage capacity of the dummy battery may be only about 1% of that of the main battery. The main and dummy batteries are configured so that the self-discharge rates thereof are substantially equal. The storage device also includes discharge circuitry which is configured so that the dummy battery discharges at a rate faster than the main battery when a load is connected to and drawing current from the main battery.
