An edge-illuminating light guide device works with a consumer electronic to provide directional lighting to efficiently emit illumination from the sides of a screen, while maximizing light emission and minimizing power usage. The device utilizes two light guides that join to direct light from a light source across a directional path from the sides of the device. An ingress light guide has a flat, triangular shape that tapers from a narrow light inlet end to a wide light outlet end. The narrow light inlet end connects to a light source. An egress light guide is defined by a flat, rectangular shape. The egress light guide integrally joins with, and is in illuminating communication with the ingress light guide. A composition coats one of the faces of the egress light guide to prevent passage of the light; thereby serving as a color filter. The device is fabricated from a polycarbonate.

A shuttlecock loading mechanism with a grabbing mechanism and a pair of ejecting wheels defining a wheel plane. The grabbing mechanism receives a shuttlecock entering the loading mechanism in a vertical position and ejects the shuttlecock from the loading mechanism in an orientation parallel to the wheel plane wherein the pitch of the wheel plane about a wheel horizontal axis is selectively indexed about the wheel's horizontal axis.

A method of arranging and fabricating parallel primary and secondary coils of a wideband planar transformer is provided. The spacing and width of the coils are disposed to extend the bandwidth from DC to GHz and allow for high frequency coupling when the core permeability dramatically drops and achieves low reflected energy and low loss over a wide bandwidth. A bottom mold having a pattern of hole-pairs with conductive elements inserted vertically couples to a top mold such that a middle portion of the conductive elements spans between the top and bottom molds. Dielectric material envelopes the middle portion and a displacement feature of the mold creates a vacancy. A ferrite element is deposited to the vacancy. A second top mold spans the bottom mold and dielectric material is deposited to create a molded assembly. A deposited patterned conductive coating connects the element ends to define the transformer coils.

A system operable with any number of different display truth table schemes. The system allows a user to select the truth table scheme and a driver circuit is used to drive either a single or pair of display elements. A binary application select detects a logic 0 if an application sense pin is left floating or is pulled low with a resistor. It detects a logic 1 if the application sense pin is pulled high with a resistor. The sense potential is such that all applications at the pin following reset, namely input or output with connected components will only detect a logic 1 when the pin is pulled high by a pull-up resistor. The output latched application is directed to a responsive circuit operable in a first condition when a logic 0 is detected, and a second condition when a logic 1 is detected. A binary select allows 2,different truth schemes to be selected where n is the number of pins used to select the application. When a first binary code is sensed, a first truth table is implemented. When a second binary code is existent, a second truth table is implemented and so on. The driver, sensor and responsive circuit are formed as an integrated circuit device.

A communications inter-repeater circuit that includes an Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) port which can be selectively switched between a Media Attachment Unit (MAU) mode and a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) mode. This selective change in the AUI allows for direct connection of Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) to the repeater without requiring a separate MAU. The determination of the mode for the AUI port is made by a selector. The selector may be a configuration sense pin whereon a selection potential is applied during reset of the repeater functions.
