20090145569 | Method for casting composite ingot - A method and apparatus are described for the casting of a composite metal ingot having two or more separately formed layers of one or more alloys. An open ended annular mould is provided having a divider wall dividing a feed end of the mould into at least two separate feed chambers. For each pair of adjacent feed chambers, a first alloy stream is fed through one of the pair of feed chambers into the mould and a second alloy stream is fed through another of the feed chambers. A self-supporting surface is generated on the surface of the first alloy stream and the second alloy stream is contacted with the first stream. By carefully selecting conditions and positions where the alloy streams meet, a composite metal ingot is formed in which the alloy layers are mutually attached with a substantially continuous metallurgical bond. | 06-11-2009 |

20130082607 | REFLECTIVE AND TRANSFLECTIVE OPERATION MODES FOR A DISPLAY DEVICE - A direct-view display apparatus includes a transparent substrate, an internal light source, a plurality of light modulators coupled to the transparent substrate, and a controller for controlling the states of the plurality of light modulators and the internal light source. The controller is configured to cause the display to transition from one of a transmissive, reflective and transflective mode, to a second of said modes. | 04-04-2013 |
20150346987 | DISPLAY MODE SELECTION ACCORDING TO A USER PROFILE OR A HIERARCHY OF CRITERIA - Some implementations provide automatic display mode selection for a device, such as a mobile display device, according to a hierarchy of criteria. Each display mode may correspond with a set of display parameter settings, which may include a color depth setting, a brightness setting, etc. In some examples, one of the criteria may correspond with a software application being executed on the device. Some implementations involve creating a display device user profile and controlling a display of a mobile display device according to the user profile. The user profile may be built gradually over some number of days/weeks/months after the first use of the device. In some implementations, display parameter setting information or other device setting information corresponding to data in a user profile, including but not limited to demographic data, may be received by a mobile display device from another device, such as a server. | 12-03-2015 |
20150348496 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELECTING DISPLAY OPERATION MODES - This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for selecting display operation modes for displaying content on a display device. The display device can utilize user selectable display operation modes for displaying content. Various display operation modes, based on various values of display parameters such as frame rate, color bit depth, maximum brightness level, color gamut, percentages of color gamut, white point, gamma, and the number of subframes or bit-planes per image frame can be presented, for example, to a user, for selection using a user interface. The user interface can be capable of providing the ability to select global display operation modes for all applications running on the display device or to assign display operation modes in-focus applications running on the display device. In some implementations, the display device can automatically select the appropriate display operation mode based, at least, on the content being displayed. | 12-03-2015 |

20120245500 | EMERGENCY STABILIZATION OF A FRACTURED PELVIS OR AN INJURED NECK - A hip-girdling pelvic sling device for maintaining a desired amount of tension surrounding a person's hips and pelvis to securely support and stabilize a pelvis that has been fractured. Areas of mating types of fastener material such as mating hook-bearing fastener material and loop pile fastener material are arranged on the device to enable a strap to be secured at various effective lengths to provide a wide range of adjustability. The device may include inflatable bladders, stays, and a chin support and may be wrapped around a patient's neck as a cervical support collar. | 09-27-2012 |
20130041303 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROL OF HEMORRHAGE - A junctional and truncal tourniquet and a hip-girdling pelvic sling device for maintaining a desired amount of tension surrounding a person's hips and pelvis to securely support and stabilize a pelvis that has been fractured and for securing a pressure applying device to a person so that blood vessel-occluding pressure can be applied. Areas of mating types of fastener material such as mating hook-bearing fastener material and loop pile fastener material are arranged on the device to enable a strap to be secured at various effective lengths to provide a wide range of adjustability. The device may include inflatable bladders, stays, and a chin support and may be wrapped around a patient's neck as a cervical support collar, or around the torso to occlude blood vessels proximal to an injury on a limb. | 02-14-2013 |
