Liquid crystal displays and devices including the same are provided that include a micro-electromechanical reflective array; and a plurality of plates associated with the micro-electromechanical reflective array. The plates are movable between first and second positions. The plates are configured to operate in a first mode of operation when the plurality of plates are in the first position and to operate in a second mode of operation when the plurality of plates are in the second position.

A harmonic mitigating device also functions as a phase converter for supplying single-phase non-linear loads, or as a phase shifting device for three-phase non-linear loads with multiple inputs to create a quasi multi-pulse system. A multiple-winding reactor or a plurality of single-winding reactors, and at least one capacitor, are connected in a crosslink circuit between the reactor windings, or between the reactor windings and another line. At least one reactive element comprising a line windi...

An ordered film is formed on a surface by reacting (a) dendrimer or bridging ligand functionalized for reaction with transition metal ions (e.g., terpyridyl-pendant poly-amido amine starburst dendrimers or 1,4-bis[4,4"-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2,2':6'2" terpyridine-4'-yl]benzene), dissolved in water immiscible solvent, with (b) transition metal ions dissolved in water, on said surface. This method allows formation of films useful, for example, as electron transfer mediators, other electronic devic...

An information processing apparatus includes a display unit having a first reflective plate and a second reflective plate forming a reflective-plate unit, and a third reflective plate. The first reflective plate is bonded to an external frame, and the second reflective plate is connected to a reflective-plate hinge. In addition, the third reflective plate is pivotally connected to the reflective-plate hinge, and a diffusion plate is bonded to the third reflective plate. Light emitted from a cold...

An adhesive composition for a vinyl halide resin is disclosed. This adhesive composition is formed by incorporating an aliphatic polyamine having a plurality or ether bonds, an alicyclic polyamine or an alkylene diamine into a blend of an epoxy resin and a vinyl chloride copolymer resin. This adhesive composition is effectively used in the solvent-free state for a molded body of a vinyl halide type resin such as a vinyl chloride resin or a vinylidene halide resin.

In a watch having a balance spring and a balance cock, apparatus is provided for fastening the free end of the spring to the cock. The fastening apparatus includes a bearing block, pivotally mounted on the cock, having a generally vertically extending bearing surface for engagement with the spring. A resilient clamping member is mounted on the cock and includes a clamping arm positioned in spaced relation to the bearing surface to define a space therebetween which receives the free end of the ba...

Disclosed is a liquid crystal display device of which overall size and weight can be minimized. The liquid crystal display device has a light generating unit for generating a light. A light guiding plate guides the light to a display unit for displaying an image. A reflection plate is disposed under the light guiding plate for reflecting the light to the light guiding plate. A receiving container receives the reflection plate, the light guiding plate and the light generating unit. At least one b...

A liquid crystal display module includes a liquid crystal panel, a bottom cover having a plurality of lamps installed thereabove, a reflection sheet for reflecting the light generated from the lamps and a main support having openings in which the lamps are inserted, an extension part extending from the openings, and a supporting member for supporting the liquid crystal panel.

A liquid crystal display including a lamp, an U-shaped lamp housing surrounding the lamp, and a plastic housing fixed to the lamp housing. A grounding plate is placed between the plastic housing and the lamp housing, wherein the grounding plate has a first portion, placed between the lamp housing and the plastic housing and in contact with a portion of the lamp housing, and a second portion having an elastic portion that protrudes outward. A supporting frame is in contact with the plastic housin...

A fluid coupling device is disclosed of the type including a coupling assembly (13) including a housing member (15) and a cover member (17), the members (15) and (17) including flange portions (61) and (63). The flange portion (63) defines an annular fluid cooling recess (65). Fluid is directed from the operating chamber (33) by means of a fluid-directing member (69) through an inlet opening (67) into the recess (65). Fluid flows circumferentially around the coupling device through the recess (6...
