Transmission and reflection type holograms may be formed utilizing a novel polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) material and its unique switching characteristics to form optical elements. Applications for these switchable holograms include communications switches and switchable transmission, and reflection red, green, and blue lenses. The PDLC material of the present invention offers all of the features of holographic photopolymers with the added advantage that the hologram can be switched on and off with the application of an electric field. The material is a mixture of a polymerizable monomer and liquid crystal, along with other ingredients, including a photoinitiator dye. Upon irradiation, the liquid crystal separates as a distinct phase of nanometer-size droplets aligned in periodic channels forming the hologram. The material is called a holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (H-PDLC).

A selectable flow divider drive system includes a hydraulic fluid reservoir and a plurality of drive motors in fluid communication with the hydraulic fluid reservoir. A hydraulic pump is connected between the hydraulic fluid reservoir and the plurality of drive motors and directs hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic fluid reservoir to the plurality of motors. The hydraulic pump is operable in a high flow condition and a low flow condition. A flow divider component is interposed between the hydraulic pump and the plurality of motors. The flow divider component selectively divides hydraulic fluid flow to each of the plurality of drive motors, where a flow divider of the flow divider component is sized for the low flow condition of the hydraulic pump. A bypass valve is disposed upstream of the flow divider that selectively bypasses the flow divider when the hydraulic pump is operated in the high flow condition.

The present invention is mainly aimed to obtain excellent sensor output free from periodic fixed pattern noise even if the pieces of holding capacity are converted into blocks, and the specific solution unit is described below. The signal readout unit includes: a line memory; first switches each connected to each holding capacity CT101 to CT116; first switches connected to each holding capacity thereof CT101 to CT116; a first common signal line comprising eight switches connected together; and second switches for connecting the first common signal line to the second common signal line. The control unit controls opening/closing of both switches. Between the electrode of the second switch and the second common signal line, there is provided the outgoing wiring. From the control unit, control wiring a1 . . . , b1 . . . is connected to the first switch. To each wiring a1 . . . , b1 . . . , a pair of a positive signal and an anti-signal in which the logical level has been reversed each other is supplied respectively. Each wiring a1 . . . , b1 . . . is arranged so as to be line-symmetric with respect to the outgoing wiring.

Disclosed is a high-speed approximation device that generates zone correction values in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Group correction values are stored for specific physical locations on the screen for each correction factor parameter. Higher resolution correction signals can be produced by generating zone correction values. Zone correction values are produced for binary fractional addresses that correspond to specific physical locations on the screen. By addressing specific binary fractional addresses that correspond to the location of the video image on the screen, new group correction values do not have to be produced each time the horizontal or vertical size or centering or frequency of the video image is changed. Additionally, by using start addresses and end addresses, zone correction values only have to be produced for the area which the video image occupies on the screen. The present invention also uses a high-speed binary fractional multiplier that multiplies a correction value by a series of binary numbers that simply shift the decimal location of the correction value to produce quotient values. Selection of the quotient values is made by a binary fractional address signal that indicates the specific address for the zone correction value to be generated. By transforming from an arbitrary line count address space to a binary physical address space, the present invention allows for the use of a simple and fast parallel binary fractional multiplier engine.

A valve device has a valve housing and a main piston (4) arranged in an axially slidable manner in a piston bore of the valve housing (2). A first consumer connection (A) and a second consumer connection (B) can be alternately connected to a pressure connection (P) and a tank connection (T1, T2) by the action of a first magnetic actuating system (6) and a second magnetic actuating system (8) with two pilot pistons (14, 16). In an actuated state of the respective pilot piston (14, 16), the main piston (4) follows the movement of the pilot piston (14, 16) due to the force ratio adjusting itself to actuate the fluid-carrying connection between the pilot chamber (10, 12) of the pilot piston (14,16) and the assignable tank connection (T1, T2) such that pilot oil flows.
