  • Patent number: 11251168
    Abstract: Over a flexible substrate are deposited stacked pixel layers including a bottom layer of LEDs forming blue pixels, a middle layer of LEDs forming green pixels, and a top layer of LEDs forming red pixels. Each LED die comprises an LED portion and an integrated transistor portion. Applying a voltage to a control terminal of the transistor portion energizes the LED portion. The pixels are substantially transparent, due to the LEDs being microscopic and the pixel areas being much larger, to allow light from the underlying layers to pass through. The three layers of pixels are aligned so that a combination of a single top red pixel, a single underlying green pixel, and a single underlying blue pixel form a single multi-color pixel. The different layers have transparent column and row lines.

  • Patent number: 10018449
    Abstract: An active target has a target face that is backlit by LEDs, where a detection layer behind the target face detects a new projectile hole in the target, such as from a gun or an arrow. The detection layer may be formed of one or more resistive layers, and the detected increase in resistance due to a new projectile hole being created is sensed and correlated to an XY position of the hole. The location of the new hole is transmitted via an RF signal to the shooter's portable device, such as a smartphone, and the shooter sees the location of the hit relative to the target face in real time. The LEDs may be dynamically controlled. The target is disposable and is supported by a support base containing the control electronics and transmitter.

  • Publication number: 20070275580
    Abstract: An interconnection module provides a normal-through connection for an electrical signal. The interconnection module includes a housing defining an input and an output, a conductor disposed within the housing provides a signal path between the input and the output, and a removable monitor module mated to the housing. The monitor module includes a monitor port and an active circuit for sensing the electrical signal and for providing to the monitor port a monitor signal indicative of the electrical signal. The active circuit is disposed electrically in parallel to the signal path and exhibits an impedance to the signal path that is sufficiently high so that the electrical signal being monitored is not disturbed by the active circuit. The monitor circuit is hot-swappable so that removal or installation of the monitor module from the housing during transmission of the electrical signal through the signal path will not disturb the electrical signal.
