Abstract: Emission from a pixel is received by a sensor. The sensor is coupled to a control unit that receives or determines a value of the sensor's measurable parameter during operation of the pixel. A target value is coupled to the control unit, allowing the control unit to compare the measurable sensor parameter and the target value. The control unit is coupled to a pixel driver operable to alter the emission from the pixel. The pixel driver may vary the emission from the pixel until the measurable sensor parameter indicates that the target value has been achieved. The target value may be determined based on a calibration of the sensor. A plurality of target values may be stored in a look-up table.

Abstract: Process and device structures for constructing RFID tag and smart card and toy controller integrated circuit transceivers built inexpensively using flat panel display manufacturing machines on large plastic or glass or plastic laminated to glass substrates using thin film technologies at low temperatures and using chemicals and gases which will not attack or damage the substrate. Also disclosed are structures to eliminate the reliability problems caused by differential strain caused by different coefficients of thermal expansion.

Abstract: An encapsulated liquid crystal layer is patterned by placing a mask into contact with a coated substrate. The mask is held against the substrate, for example, by a vacuum, to form a seal. The assembly is submerged in a solvent to dissolve the exposed region of the encapsulated liquid crystal material.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for making a liquid crystal composite including a dye. The method comprises forming volumes in which a liquid crystal material is surrounded by a containment medium, forming a dye dispersion, combining the dye dispersion and the volumes of liquid material, and treating that combination to facilitate the transfer of the dye into the volumes of liquid crystal material.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for making a liquid crystal light valve in which the electro-optically active element is a liquid crystal composite sandwiched between two electrodes. The liquid crystal composite comprises plural volumes of liquid crystal material dispersed in a polymer matrix. By use of a tie layer, the problem of stress clearing is markedly reduced or eliminated. The tie layer material can be either a liquid crystal material or a telomer, crosslinkable or otherwise.

Abstract: The invention is a process for obtaining membranes having improved selectivity and recovery using a combination of heat treating and UV irradiation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a spiral-wound membrane module having a semi-permeable membrane which has a central high pressure premeatae region flanked on opposite sides by two lower pressure edge portions. The edge portions facilitate the dispersion of and the collection of the feed fluid being treated and assist in obtaining a more uniform flow of the feed fluid through the high pressure region of the membrane. In one embodiment, the module has entrance and exit flow means for a counter-current flow of a sweep fluid through the permeate. Preferably, the high pressure permeate region is a high density porous spacer flanked on two sides with low density porous spacers. In one embodiment, the higher pressure permeate region and flanking low pressure drop permeate regions are obtained by specifically positioned lines of adhesive or glue spots (or lines) having a specific size and spacing. Generally the spots (or lines) are positioned in a generally axial configuration to the central pipe.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved design for a spiral wound membrane separation device. The improved module has one feed pipe separated into compartments which are connected axially to a porous spacer surrounded by a membrane envelope. A separate permeate pipe is immediately adjacent and generally in a parallel configuration to the fluid feed pipe and is in fluid communication with a different porous spacer sheet. When the porous feed membrane and pipe and spacer and permeate pipe are combined using appropriate complementary shaped spaced filling means, a spiral wound membrane separation device is obtained having two centrally located pipes. In one aspect, the membrane separation module further includes means for the addition of a countercurrent or cocurrent sweep fluid (gas) the permeate.
