Abstract: Several variations in full-color additive gyricons are shown. Each gyricon shown has been designed for ease of construction by eliminating the need for precise placement of rotating elements, alignment between the gyricon layers, if any, and alignment between the gyricon sheet and the addressing device.

Abstract: A bistable display device that is powered only by ambient energy. Ambient energy is collected by an ambient energy receiver which converts the ambient energy into an operating signal and provides the operating signal to a controller. The controller drives the display device based on the operating signal. A user can create a custom display by fixing customizable patterned electrodes to the display. A display controller uses a self-starting oscillator. The oscillator outputs a clock input signal wave to a ripple counter and a voltage signal to a voltage doubler. The voltage doubler outputs a stored charge signal to a transformer concurrently with a clock pulse that is output by the ripple counter to change a state of the voltage output from the transformer to conductive electrodes within or on the display. The voltage output from the transformer applies an electric field across the display in the portions of the display covered by the conductors to switch the image on the display. As the display is bistable, if the ambient energy receiver and controller are detached from the display or there is as insufficient amount of ambient energy, the image on the display will stop switching, but will not fade.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for extracting key information from a digital audio message including a voice message over the telephone. SOLUTION: Information such as a telephone number 1318 or a name 1316 of a caller is extracted from a voice message 1310, and used for the establishment of a link with information in the message. Thus, the telephone number and the name of the caller can be reproduced without reproducing all voice messages. The telephone number and the name of the caller can be used as an index to an information data base.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a display supplied with a power source by ambient energy. SOLUTION: This display 400 comprises a control part C supplying a display driving signal using only ambient energy AE. The reason why the control part C is able to impress a driving signal on the display 400 by using only the ambient energy is that optically anisotropic particles 424 require only little energy for the rotation. Any external power source such as battery is not connected from supplying the electric power for impressing an electric field required for driving the display 400.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form fixed image patterns of a device having both of fixed regions and variable regions by providing the device with the elements of a second set physically fixed to a first stage, which elements of the second set maintain the first stage with respect to any display signals, thereby displaying desired images. SOLUTION: The elements 20 of the fixed regions 100 are first rotated by the conventional method in such a manner that their black surfaces come upward. Next, the selected fixed regions 100 are processed by one of several physical fixing methods. If a variable instruction device is a rotary element type display device, the physical fixation may be executed by applying heat to the elements of the regions to be fixed. As a result, the elements 20 of the fixed regions 100 maintain the black surfaces with respect to any display signals and display the desired images. In the case of, for example, forms, these images include grid lines, headers and labels and the 'name' of the block to be eventually entered by a user of the forms.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a scanning pen which has plural modes for scanning and processing different data types and is used for an information management system by containing a user feedback device responding to an execution input mode. SOLUTION: A scanning pen 2410 as an input device contains a mounted controller 2412, a data interface 2414 (infrared or RF radio link and the like), an optical scanning head 2416, a manual scanning controller (at least one push key) 2418, a visual feedback mechanism 2420 (display light or display screen), an audio or feeling feedback mechanism 2422 and a mounted storage device 2424. A display screen 2420 operates to recognize a recognized character positioned below the scanning head 2416 and the present mode of the pen 2410 to a user. Thus, the mode can be changed by a manual operation by scanning a digital code printed in a mode book.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a Gyricon sheet which may be easily produced. SOLUTION: This Gyricon sheet has rotating elements 10 which show the color of one component by directing central segments 12 to an observer and are made substantially transparent by directing the edges of the central segments 12 toward the observer. These rotating elements 10 are distributed uniformly and randomly to plural layers or single layers by each of the respective components, pixels or sub-pixels forming the pixels are formed in the positions where the grides of address electrodes for addressing the rotating elements 10 happen to exist. There is, therefore, no need for exact armament of the rotating elements 10 and the exact alignment of the Gyricon layers and there is no need for the alignment of the Gyricon sheet and the address device.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for receiving, analyzing and managing key information extracted from plural input documents belonging to plural document genres. SOLUTION: The genre of a certain document is a social environment for determining expected constitution and contents for the document. Information is extracted from an input document 1910 based on its genre and synthesized as a document or a data base of a distributed genre expressing all information extracted from all input documents. The output documents having a selected genre is generated by collecting the information coincident with the selected genre from the data base.
