A liquid crystal display having an increased pixel aperture ratio is disclosed along with a method of making same. An array of a-Si TFTs is deposited on a transparent substrate. Subsequently, an organic insulating layer (e.g. Benzocyclobutene) and a corresponding array of pixel electrodes are deposited over the TFT array so that the pixel electrodes overlap the display address lines thereby increasing the display's pixel aperture ratio. The low dielectric constant .di-elect cons. (e.g. about 2.7...

A connector provides for the termination of a first electrical cable and a second electrical cable where each cable includes a plurality of conductors extending through an outer jacket. The first cable has a diameter which is larger than the second cable. An elongate gland body includes a cable receiving end, a conductor egressing end and a longitudinal center bore therethrough for receipt of the first and second cables individually. A gland nut is positioned in axial alignment with the gland bo...

A staple forming mechanism having at least first and second configurations. The staple forming mechanism including a bend surface having a first surface width in the first configuration and a second surface width in the second configuration for forming staples having first and second crown sizes, respectively. The forming mechanism also includes at least two side portions spaced apart by a first former width in the first configuration and by a second former width in the second configuration. The...

For measuring sizes in a scanning measuring microscope a nominal magnification is selected so that an object image occupies a substantial part of a field of view, an actual magnification is calculated depending on a coordinate on a screen along the direction of measurement, the object is positioned on a microscope table so that a line of scanning coincides with a direction of measurement and scanned by an electron beam to obtain a function of a video signal, points are localized which correspond...

When retrieving documents over a network, such as the Internet, the font size imposed by default or by a style sheet is sometimes not the right size for comfortable viewing by a user. A database of font size changes made by a user to particular documents is maintained and used to infer a font size preference for a document. A document is displayed using a recorded preference. If no preference is found for a document, a check is made to determine if a preference has been specified for a different...

A balloon having a predetermined maximum expandable size is combined with a stent having a predetermined maximum expandable size, which is equal to the maximum expandable size of the balloon. The stent is formed of a plurality of rows of cylindrical strut sections situated side by side in a longitudinal direction, and a plurality of connecting members for connecting two rows of the struts adjacent to each other. The strut section includes struts, and bending portions located at ends of the strut...

An interferometer having two spaced apart but parallel composite beams passing through respective fluid containing cells with the radiation output of these cells being imaged onto a detector. The optics at one end of the cells are made movable with respect to the optics at the other end of the cells in order to accommodate various size cells and materials, and to simplify optical alignment of the interferometer without disturbing the focusing properties of the instrument.
