Abstract: Described herein are optical agents, including compositions, preparations and formulations, for monitoring the pH of a fluid. Optical agents described herein include photonic nanostructures and nanoassemblies including supramolecular structures, such as shell cross-linked micelles, that incorporate at least one linking group comprising one or more photoactive moieties that provide functionality as exogenous agents for a range of pH monitoring applications. Optical agents described herein comprise supramolecular structures having linking groups imparting useful optical and structural functionality. In an embodiment, for example, the presence of linking groups function to covalently cross link polymer components to provide a cross-linked shell stabilized supramolecular structure, and also impart useful optical functionality, for example by functioning as a fluorophore.

Abstract: A liquid crystal projector for projecting an image on a screen includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) for displaying an image, a light source positioned behind the LCD for supplying light to project the image displayed on the LCD, a projection lens positioned in front of the LCD for focusing the light projected from the LCD onto the screen, and deflection means positioned between the LCD and the screen for deflecting the light focused through the projection lens to move the image position on the screen.

Abstract: A move camera system having a function for projecting an image of an object being presently or previously imaged on an external screen, as well as a function for monitoring the image and a method of displaying a video signal therein. A composite video signal from a camera section or a VCR section is processed by a video signal processor in a display section so that be displayed on a display device including a matrix of pixels. The processed video signal from the video signal processor includes red, green and blue color signals. Arrangement of the proposed video signal is changed according to whether the projecting junction of the view finding function is selected. According to the selected function, an optical image resulting from the video signal displayed on the display device is lighted by a large or small amount of light from a light source at the rear. The user can view or monitor the image on the display device through a focus lens unit at a front portion thereof.

Abstract: An electronic movie camera system having a projecting function as well as a view finding function.

Abstract: A multiple use cover for a car made of a plurality of individual truss modules flexibly connected with center pins, external pins and internal pins forming a scissors structure. Parallel major trusses are interconnected with transverse bars additionally used on the external pins of the some truss module. The external ends of both the flexible major trusses are coupled to fixing holes in a support beam with the use of fixing pins. The internal ends of the trusses are connected to elongate guide holes with the movable pins. The cover is connected to a height adjusting base and to a rotatable connecting frame. The rotatable connected frame is coupled to a fixing pillar which is fixed to the bottom of the trunk of a car.
