| 7580050 | Plasma display device and driving method thereof In a driving method of a plasma display device, a final voltage of a falling ramp voltage is set to a discharge firing voltage of all the discharge cells after applying a gradually rising ramp voltage during a reset period. A difference in voltage applied to an addr... | 08/25/2009 |
| 6907194 | Camera having continuously cropping viewfinder A camera and method provide image cropping. The camera has a body and a capture unit mounted in the body. The capture unit has an imager and storage media operatively connected to the imager. The capture unit selectively captures an electronic image of a scene. A vi... | 06/14/2005 |
| 5451879 | Electromechanical relay monitoring system with status clocking An improved monitoring system which identifies the particular event (contact operation) and therefore the particular electromechanical relay (20, 22, and 24 which operated). This information is output from a MCU (30), along with the relative time the even... | 09/19/1995 |
| 4885594 | Recording apparatus with position dependent pulse modulation In a recording apparatus, a laser beam with the pulse modulated corresponding to image data scans an objective plane by a deflection device. On that occasion, a plurality of select signals are generated corresponding to the position of the laser beam on t... | 12/05/1989 |
| 4644368 | Tachograph for motor vehicles The disclosed tachograph writes work data for motor vehicle work into a microprocessor-controlled EEPROM semiconductor memory mounted on a movable data card carried by the driver.
