  • Patent number: 6275265
    Abstract: An apparatus for performing a generator locking for a video signal including a first video processing circuit for processing an input video signal, an expansion module having a second video processing circuit and a delay circuit having a delay time introduced by said second video processing circuit, a synchronizing signal separating circuit for separating a synchronizing signal from an external reference signal, and a phase-lock loop circuit for generating a reference control signal for said first video processing circuit as well as a phase comparison signal. Said phase comparison signal is fed-back to the phase-lock loop circuit by means of said delay circuit. Although the expansion module is connected to the expansion slot, a phase of a finally obtained video signal is remained in a same fixed relationship as a phase relationship when a connection board is connected to the expansion slot.

  • Patent number: 6191884
    Abstract: An infrared ray blocking transparent film which can be very thin and have greater transparency and higher adhesion than that of conventional films; the cost for forming the film can be lower due to the reduced amounts of forming materials used for the infrared ray blocking layer, is disclosed. An infrared ray blocking layer is provided on a surface of a base film, by coating conductive materials including indium tin oxide powder and resin; a hard coat layer is provided on a surface of the infrared ray blocking layer; an adhesive layer is provided on a rear surface of the base film. Since resin employed in the infrared ray blocking layer is UV-curing resin including photo-cationic polymerization initiator, thickness of the layer is reduced, and transparency and adhesion thereof are improved.
