  • Markers used in the calculation and display of band functions
    Patent number: 7107165
    Abstract: A user interface for an electronic instrument includes a display that displays a signal and a band marker. The band marker demarks a bandwidth of the signal by marking both a start frequency of the bandwidth and a stop frequency of the bandwidth. The electronic instrument performs a function on the bandwidth of the signal between the start frequency and the stop frequency.

  • Viewing angle adjustment for a liquid crystal display (LCD)
    Patent number: 6628255
    Abstract: Adjustments are made to a displayed image in order to take into account user viewing angle. Brightness values for colors are stored within palette registers. In response to a user indicating a view angle change, brightness values stored in at least some of the palette registers are changed. As brightness values are increased, contrast between color shades is decreased.
