Abstract: A digital dial face for facilitating a display of time. The dial face comprises at least one centrally located hour indicator and a plurality of minute indicators disposed about the periphery of the hour indicator. Each of the minute indicators may be selectively operative to display a prescribed series of minutes of time. The hour indicator and the minute indicators may collectively function to facilitate the acknowledgment of time. The arrangement of the hour and minute indicators may be reversed such that a single minute indicator and a plurality of hour indicators are provided. In either case, the user may determine time by reading the alpha-numeric display of the central indicator and recognizing the position of the illuminated peripheral indicator. Information displayed on the peripheral indicator need not be read to provide an approximation of time.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for forming a high density multi-layered detector array module. The module body is formed of multiple non-conductive, thin film layers supporting a plurality of electronic devices. The module utilizes conductive patterns formed on the surface of a plurality of the layers to effect connections between and among electronic devices and external electronics. A detector array and an electrical interconnect may be joined to end portions of the module, in electrical communication with the layer conductive patterns. Transverse conductive connectors such as vias are provided within the module extending between the layers. Connections between and among the electronic devices and external electronics are thereby supported by transverse connections within the module and the electrical interconnect.
