  • Patent number: 9480924
    Abstract: A rules-based system which processes user selections to determine what content is actually loaded and used for a given object model in video games or other online or interactive digital environments. The disclosed rules-based system also allows for rules exceptions, which support the prioritization of the user's most recent selections over the rules.

  • Publication number: 20070027752
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device, method, and system for presenting marketable information stored in a database of a remote server. The remote server provides a web page via a network. The web page includes a module that scrolls marketable information from a database where the marketable information corresponds to an identity of the use requesting the web page. The system includes a subscriber computing device that receives a web page via the network. The subscriber computing device includes a display device that displays the web page along with the scrolling marketable information in the module. The subscriber computing device can provide a request and information to purchase an item associated with the marketable information that was presented by the module in the web page. The remote server can process the request and information to purchase an item corresponding to the marketable information requested by the subscriber computing device.

  • Patent number: 6094251
    Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal display (FLCD), which comprises a cell including a layer of chiral smetic ferroelectric liquid crystal material contained between two substrates and at least one alignment layer for determining the surface alignment of the molecules in the liquid crystal material, is manufactured as follows. After selection of a suitable material for the alignment layer, the cell is filled by introducing liquid crystal material between the substrates to which the alignment layer is applied. After filling of the cell, a heat treatment is applied to the cell by raising the cell to an elevated temperature and maintaining the cell at that temperature for a predetermined period of time.

  • Patent number: 5895107
    Abstract: In order to promote the formation of the C2 state during manufacturing of a ferroelectric liquid crystal display comprising a cell including a layer of chiral smectic ferroelectric liquid crystal material contained between two substrates. The manufacturing method includes the steps of (a) heating the liquid crystal material and (b) whilst allowing the liquid crystal material to cool from an elevated temperature, which is close to the phase transition temperature to the chiral smectic phase, allowing pressure to the liquid crystal material within the cell by means of rollers in such a manner as to produce mass flow of liquid crystal material within the cell so that the liquid crystal material preferentially adopts the C2 state on cooling to the device operating temperature. This avoids formation of both the C1 and C2 states in the manufactured display which would otherwise result in a patchy appearance, and allows faster switching at lower voltages.
