| 5558240 | Cup handle The invention comprises a novel cup handle that includes an outer and an inner section combined so that a user may grasp a cup or mug comfortably and firmly. The outer section is adapted to fit adjacent the user's palm, and the inner section is adapted to... | 09/24/1996 |
| 5553328 | Automatically deployable and retractable combiner mechanism Device for rapidly and automatically deploying and retracting a combiner attached to a visored helmet. A combination of opposing springs, one made from conventional materials and the other from shape memory alloy (SMA), effects a detent mechanism and the ... | 09/10/1996 |
| 5532852 | High speed, high ambient viewability liquid crystal display assembly A liquid crystal display assembly includes an untwisted nematic liquid crystal cell structure. The light transmittance of each pixel element of the assembly is a function of the pixel drive voltage. A phase compensating plate reduces the voltage necessary... | 07/02/1996 |
| 5529074 | Uniform pressure diagnostic pinwheel A disposable diagnostic pinwheel for use in testing for nerve dysfunction. The pinwheel can be applied to a handle which incorporates a pressure absorbing mechanism so that a more constant and controllable test can be conducted. The pinwheel can also incl... | 06/25/1996 |
| 5524479 | Detecting system for scanning microscopes A scanning probe microscope is provided with a piezo-ceramic tube to carry the sensitive probe at its free end to translationally move the probe in the X and Y directions. Large stationary surfaces can then be scanned by probe tip motion. The tube is also... | 06/11/1996 |
| 5506728 | Dual combiner eyepiece A combiner eyepiece with an enhancement imagery source and a collimating mirror is equipped with two oblique partially reflective mirrors. Both mirrors reflect some of the light impinging on their partially reflective sides and transmit substantially all ... | 04/09/1996 |
| 5497270 | Apparatus and method for increasing resolution and expanding the displayed field of view An apparatus and method for increasing resolution and expanding the displayed field of view. The imagery is collimated and split into two paths by a partially reflective mirror set at an oblique angle to the image source. Either path may be blocked by a c... | 03/05/1996 |
| 5486935 | High efficiency chiral nematic liquid crystal rear polarizer for liquid crystal displays having a notch polarization bandwidth of 100 nm to 250 nm The efficiency of LC displays is improved by the use of a polymeric chiral nematic liquid crystal rear polarizer and reflective backlight housing which increases the net transmission of light and, at the same time, reduces the weight of the assemblage and... | 01/23/1996 |
| 5469432 | High-speed digital communications network A digital communications network for digital data comprising packets of a predetermined size. A transmitter and a receiver are connected to a set of buffers which are connected to a microprocessor which controls the data flow into and out of the buffers. ... | 11/21/1995 |
