20090119968 | WEAPON HAVING LETHAL AND NON-LETHAL DIRECTED ENERGY PORTIONS - A portable weapon comprises a non-lethal portion and a lethal portion. The lethal portion may comprise a rifle, and the non-lethal portion may comprise a millimeter-wave directed energy weapon. The non-lethal portion may comprise a kit to add non-lethal capability to a lethal weapon. The non-lethal portion may comprise an output antenna to generate a high-power millimeter-wave initial wavefront, a main reflector, and a sub-reflector to reflect the initial wavefront to the main reflector.

20100319210 | DISC DRYING DEVICE AND DISC DRYING METHOD - The present invention provides a disc drying device and a disc drying method that allow simultaneous and quick drying of plural discs by a batch process and realize miniaturization of the device. In the present invention, plural discs arranged along a single axis are simultaneously chucked at outer peripheries thereof so that central openings of the discs internally form a space; plural nozzles are disposed in the space so as to supply hot water from inner peripheral surfaces of two sides of each of the discs to heat the discs with the hot water; and the discs are simultaneously rotated to thereby move the hot water from inner peripheries to outer peripheries of the discs and discharge the hot water outwardly of the outer peripheries by centrifugal force. The discharged hot water flows through valley grooves provided in inner wall surfaces of a water receiving cover to the lower side of the discs to be discharged to the outside. | 12-23-2010 |
20110214691 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WASHING SUBSTRATES - An apparatus for washing a substrate includes a scrub washing unit for washing both surfaces of a substrate, which are scrubbed by a rotating brush while supplying pure water to both surfaces of the substrate, a rinse unit for washing the surfaces of the substrate which have been washed by the scrub washing unit using the pure water, and a dry unit for drying the surfaces of the substrate which have been washed by the rinse unit. The scrub washing unit includes an ultrasonic application unit for applying ultrasonic waves to pure water supplied to the both surfaces of the substrate, which are scrubbed by the rotating brush while supplying the pure water to which the ultrasonic wave has been applied by the ultrasonic application unit to the both surfaces of the substrate. | 09-08-2011 |

The conductive resistive material on at least one of the upper and lower structures is configured to define at least a pair of electrically isolated resistive sheets. The top and bottom structures are moveable relative to one another in response to one or more contacts on the touch surface to bring the conductive resistive material on the top and bottom structures into contact adjacent each contact location. | 02-24-2011 |
20120249477 | INTERACTIVE INPUT SYSTEM AND METHOD - An interactive input system comprises an optical waveguide, a radiation source directing radiation into the optical waveguide, the radiation undergoing total internal reflection within the optical waveguide in response to at least one touch input on a surface of the optical waveguide. At least one imaging device is positioned adjacent to the waveguide, the at least one imaging device having a field of view looking inside the optical waveguide and capturing image frames thereof. Processing structure processes the image frames captured by the at least one imaging device to determine a location of the at least one touch input based on a frequency of reflections of the radiation appearing in the image frame. | 10-04-2012 |
20130050149 | INTERACTIVE INPUT SYSTEM AND PANEL THEREFOR - An interactive panel comprises an optical waveguide within which totally internally reflected (TIR) illumination propagates, a display device beneath the optical waveguide and a partially transparent layer beneath the display device. The partially transparent layer reflects backlight illumination towards the display device and at least allows TIR illumination escaping from the optical waveguide and passing through the optical waveguide and the display panel, as a result of one or more contacts made on the optical waveguide, to pass therethrough. | 02-28-2013 |
20130257815 | INTERACTIVE INPUT SYSTEM AND METHOD - An interactive input system comprises a display panel defining an interactive surface, the display panel comprising a light sensitive layer configured to sense illumination impinging thereon; and processing structure in communication with the display panel, said processing structure processing output of the light sensitive layer to detect at least one pointer in proximity with the interactive surface. | 10-03-2013 |
20140313165 | INTERACTIVE INPUT SYSTEM AND METHOD - An image capture method comprises generating a synchronization signal based on modulated illumination; and synchronizing image frame capture of at least one image sensor using the synchronization signal with the illumination timing of an active pointer within a region of interest in the field of view of the at least one image sensor. | 10-23-2014 |
20140313166 | INTERACTIVE INPUT SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method for adjusting the position of a light curtain emitted by an illumination assembly over a surface, comprises determining a position of the light curtain; calculating a difference between the determined position of the light curtain and a desired position of the light curtain; and adjusting the position of the illumination assembly based on the calculated difference. | 10-23-2014 |
