Abstract: The disclosed technology provides micro-assembled micro-LED displays and lighting elements using arrays of micro-LEDs that are too small (e.g., micro-LEDs with a width or diameter of 10 ?m to 50 ?m), numerous, or fragile to assemble by conventional means. The disclosed technology provides for micro-LED displays and lighting elements assembled using micro-transfer printing technology. The micro-LEDs can be prepared on a native substrate and printed to a display substrate (e.g., plastic, metal, glass, or other materials), thereby obviating the manufacture of the micro-LEDs on the display substrate. In certain embodiments, the display substrate is transparent and/or flexible.

Abstract: A system for mixing hydrogen gas and air includes a housing extending from a first end to a second end and defining a mixing chamber. The second end receives the air. A tubular mixer in the mixing chamber extends along a central axis from a first end to a second end. The mixer has an outer surface and an inner surface defining a central passage. The second end is closed by an end wall. The mixer has first fluid directing structure for directing the air and the hydrogen gas radially inward from the mixing chamber to the central passage to form a mixture. A distributor is secured to the first end of the housing and receives the mixture from the first end of the mixer. The distributor includes second fluid directing structure for directing the mixture radially outward to a burner.

Abstract: A user interface help dialog for a computer system is provided in which the computer system has a plurality of system parameters and the user interface includes a plurality of command options that may be enabled or disabled. A cursor for indicating one of the command options is also provided. To generate the help dialog the identity of a disabled command option to which the cursor indicates is first identified. The status of a subset of the system parameters is then evaluated, the system parameters subset being determined in dependence on the identified command option. A help dialog to be displayed to the user is then generated, the content of which is dependent on the status of the evaluated system parameters.
