Abstract: A flat panel display cooling apparatus includes a display panel having a first sheet of light transmissive material and an intermediate layer, together defining a first compartment holding a liquid crystal to generate an image. A cooling cell, having a second sheet of light transmissive material, extends in a flat plane parallel and spaced apart from the intermediate layer, defining a second compartment holding a cooling fluid to regulate the temperature of the liquid crystal. A second seal is disposed between the second sheet and the intermediate layer and enclosing the second compartment. Ports may extend into the second compartment, such as through the second seal, to allow the cooling fluid to be circulated out of the second compartment to carry heat away from the liquid crystal. Direct transfer of heat from the cooling cell is also provided, such as where the cooling cell extends beyond the display panel.

Abstract: A self-adaptable transmission line (SATL) according to the present invention is implemented as a single signal path coupled between an SATL transmitter and an SATL receiver. The SATL transmitter controls the process of transmission in an SATL architecture. Data to be sent by the SATL transmitter are first encoded to the appropriate symbol before being serialized and transmitted on the SATL. A symbol transfer starts with an event known as a start-of-symbol (SOS) event, which can be, for example, a low-to-high transition. The SATL receiver samples and deserializes the incoming bitstream, and then decodes the symbol thus received. Upon detection of an SOS by the SATL receiver, the SATL receiver's logic is reset to its initial state, ready to receive the next symbol.
