Abstract: Mesh communications based on a plurality of time-slots in which every time slot is associated with communications between a pair of nodes, in which at least one time-slot is associated with communications between a first node and a second node, and in which at least a second time-slot is associated with communications between the first node and a third node. The first node and the second node communicate during the at least one time-slot, while the third node awaits communications with the first node during the second time-slot. If the first node is still communicating with the second node during the second time-slot the first node does not communication with the third node.

Abstract: A programmable display controller is provided including an input for receiving data from a data source. Further included is a processor coupled to the input. The processor is adapted for being programmed to process the received data in accordance with user-specified instructions. Coupled to the processor is an output for sending the processed data to at least one display module for driving the display module(s) in accordance with the user-specified instructions. Such driving includes the control of low-level functions associated with the display.

Abstract: An image generation system is provided. A display matrix is provided and has a plurality of display elements which can include liquid crystal. Each display element includes a pixel. A plurality of display circuits are electrically connected to a display element. A plurality of memory cells are associated with each of the circuits, or form part of the circuit, and a selector continuously electrically connected to more than one of the plurality of memory cells, the selector outputting to the pixel data from one memory cell at a time. Peripheral control circuits preferably control read and write operations to the memory cells. Also provided is a light emitting mechanism, which may be a mechanism provided at each pixel, a light modulating mechanism provided at each pixel, and/or an illumination source for illuminating the pixels. Logic suppresses image flicker utilizing balanced binary color. A method for generating an image is also provided.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for driving a display. A voltage value is stored in an analog memory associated with each pixel of a display, where each of the pixels has a comparator associated with it. A reference voltage and the voltage values stored in the analog memory are applied to the comparators of the pixels. The comparators are used to compare the voltage values with the reference voltage for determining which of the voltage values matches the reference voltage. The state of the pixels whose voltage value matches the reference voltage is changed.

Abstract: A weighted float device supported on a rod to be connected to the conventional float associated with a toilet flush mechanism and projecting downwardly from the float into the tank water and including compensation adjustment weights thereon for adjusting the amount of floatation of the device to compensate for differences in water pressure and weights of conventional type floats.
