  • Publication number: 20240288703
    Abstract: A light control layer includes alternating transmissive and absorptive regions, along one or two dimensions. The light control layer may be substantially transparent, or have high transmission, for light incident at or near a normal angle to its surface, while absorbing light incident at angles away from normal. The height of the absorptive region, defined orthogonal to the local display surface, may be much greater than the width of the absorptive region resulting in a high aspect ratio structure. The width of the absorptive region may be relatively thin compared to the width of a pixel in a display. The light control layer may be applied to a display or incorporated into a display. The light control layer may be part of a film stack including other functional layers that cooperatively provide desirable optical properties.

    Abstract: A shielded electrical ribbon cable includes adjacent first and second longitudinal conductor sets where each conductor set includes two or more insulated conductors. The first conductor set also includes a ground conductor that generally lies in the plane of the insulated conductors of the first conductor set. At least 90% of the periphery of each conductor set is encompassed by a shielding film. First and second non-conductive polymeric films are disposed on opposite sides of the cable and form cover portions substantially surrounding each conductor set, and pinched portions on each side of each conductor set. When the cable is laid flat, the distance between the center of the ground conductor of the first conductor set and the center of the nearest insulated conductor of the second conductor set is ?1, the center-to-center spacing of the insulated conductors of the second conductor set is ?2, and ?1/?2 is greater than 0.7.

  • Publication number: 20230400606
    Abstract: An optical construction includes a lens layer and optically opaque first and second mask layers. The lens layer has a first major surface including a plurality of microlenses arranged along orthogonal first and second directions. The first and second mask layers are spaced apart from the first major surface and define respective pluralities of through first and second openings therein arranged along the first and second directions. The first mask layer is disposed between the structured first major surface and the second mask layer. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the microlenses and the first and second openings. The optical construction includes an intermediate layer disposed between the structured first major surface and the first mask layer and including an undulating second major surface facing, and in substantial registration with, an undulating third major surface of first mask layer so as to define a substantially uniform spacing therebetween.

    Abstract: An integrated energy absorbing system of a vehicle with a front integrated energy absorbing casting and a back integrated energy absorbing casting. Each front and back casting is a single unified casting that makes up the integrated energy absorbing system. Ribbed sections such as ā€œIā€ sections and ā€œCā€ sections make up the castings and are formed from a variety of different techniques and/or formings such as cutout, waveform profile, tapering, flaring and/or rib spacing. Additional sections such as closed section castings may also be integrated in the integrated energy absorbing system.

    Abstract: A ring oscillator includes a first set of at least three laddered inverter quantizer (LIQAF) circuits connected in stages that are in series, including a first LIQAF circuit and a last LIQAF circuit, and a feedback circuit from the last LIQAF circuit to the first LIQAF circuit having a logical NOT output compared to the first LIQAF circuit. A voltage input creates a pair of phase shifted waveforms in the first of the at least three LIQAF circuits that propagate sequentially through the stages of the at least three LIQAF circuits. Each stage has a pair of outputs to the next stage that are then phase shifted from the previous stage in the next stage.

  • Patent number: 11662016
    Abstract: A hydrostatic transmission subassembly for a vehicle includes an adapter manifold and a hydraulic pump mounted to the adapter manifold. The pump includes a pump housing and a pump porting manifold including pump porting for communicating fluid to and from the pump. The adapter manifold may include a mounting section adapted for mounting to the vehicle and a fluid interface section extending from the mounting section. The fluid interface section includes a pump interface having pump interface porting, in which the pump interface engages with the pump porting manifold to fluidly connect the pump interface porting with the pump porting. When the mounting manifold is mounted to the vehicle via the mounting section, the mounting manifold supports the hydraulic pump. The fluid interface section also includes a motor interface having motor interface porting for fluidly connecting to a motor, which enables the mounting manifold to fluidly connect the pump and motor.
