  • Patent number: 10839295
    Abstract: A method for encoding and storing text information using DNA as a storage medium, a decoding method therefor and an application thereof. The method for using DNA to store text information comprises: encoding characters into computer binary digits by means of encoding, and converting the binary digits into DNA sequences by means of transcoding; and artificially synthesizing the DNA sequences encoded with character information, positioning the characters by means of a designed ligation adapter, and assembling the DNA sequences encoded with the character information according to a pre-set order. The method for using DNA to store text information has the advantages of a small storage volume, a large storage capacity, a strong stability and low maintenance costs.

  • Publication number: 20070075949
    Abstract: A gray-scale driving method for a bi-stable chiral nematic liquid crystal display is provided. The present method divides an updated picture into a first-section frame, a second-section frame and a third-section frame. The present invented method includes to drive the first-section frame into a predetermined initial state, and drive the second-section frame by line-by-line scanning by writing updated gray-scale frame data into the pixels, then pull the third-section frame to zero voltage for the pixels such that bi-stable chiral nematic liquid crystal relaxes to stable states corresponding to the write-in gray-scale frame data. Meanwhile, a purpose to maintain the updated picture without any consumption of power is obtained. The total power consumption can be significantly reduced.

  • Patent number: 6879750
    Abstract: This invention provides a novel wavelength-separating-routing (WSR) apparatus that uses a diffraction grating to separate a multi-wavelength optical signal by wavelength into multiple spectral channels, which are then focused onto an array of corresponding channel micromirrors. The channel micromirrors are individually controllable and continuously pivotable to reflect the spectral channels into selected output ports. As such, the inventive WSR apparatus is capable of routing the spectral channels on a channel-by-channel basis and coupling any spectral channel into any one of the output ports. The WSR apparatus of the present invention may be further equipped with servo-control and spectral power-management capabilities, thereby maintaining the coupling efficiencies of the spectral channels into the output ports at desired values.
