The specification and drawings present a new method, apparatus and software product for dynamically adjusting a color gamut of a display (e.g., a field sequential color display) and further adjusting a luminance of the display in an electronic device by adjusting and turning on field duties of primary colors. During each color field, the other primary colors of light sources supporting the display can be turned on at their respective fractions of their color field. These fractions can be continuously tunable in order to control the color coordinate of each primary color dynamically thus adjusting the color gamut and the luminance of the display.

According to typical inventive practice, a first metallic material is poured into a mold including a bottom inside surface having regularly arrayed rises (truncated spherical convexities). The molten first metallic material cools and solidifies to include a surface correspondingly having regularly arrayed dents (truncated spherical concavities). The resultant “inner casting” is removed from and repositioned in the mold so that the inner casting's dent-laden surface faces upward. Ceramic spheres are placed in the dents. A second metallic material (having a higher melting point than the first metallic material) is poured into the mold with the inner casting and spheres in place. The molten second metallic material cools and solidifies as an “outer casting” surrounding the inner casting and the spheres. The resultant integral armor structure includes the inner casting, the outer casting, and the spheres, each sphere embedded partially in the inner casting and partially in the outer casting.

The invention provides a door system for a transit vehicle. It has an actuator which provides a rotary motion about an axis of the actuator for moving the door panel between an open position uncovering the aperture and a closed unlocked position covering the aperture. The actuator also provides a linear motion along the axis of the actuator for moving the door panel between the closed unlocked position and a closed locked position. The rotary motion followed by the axial motion is provided by a cylinder having a piston moved by fluid pressure. The piston includes a guide track in its exterior which engages rollers in the cylinder. The guide track has one portion curving around the piston and one portion parallel to the axis. The curving part provides the rotary motion and the straight part provides the axial motion. When the rotary motion is completed the piston encounters a stop on a shaft which supports the door. The actuator then moves the door axially to engage locks.

A personal hygiene cleansing device is disclosed which attaches to the wall of a shower or bath stall and to the water supply at a shower head in the stall. The device is adjustable to meet the height and other personal requirements of the user. Two generally vertically oriented, rubber coated bars are adjusted to a proper height and spacing for a user. When the height and the spacing between the two vertical bars is correct, pushing a users' buttocks against the vertical bars causes the cheeks of the buttocks to be spread exposing the area to a vertical fan shape water spray from a spray head that is part of the device. The rubber piping on the generally vertical bars prevent the bars from slipping along the skin of the buttocks to maintain maximum spreading of the cheeks of the buttocks. Spray water with or without soap exits the elongated spray head to cleanse or rinse the rectal or genital area.

A method of calibrating an individual sensor of a particular sensor type whose output varies non-linearly with at least one measured quantity and at least one operating condition, comprises producing a set of calibration curves for each of a number of sample sensors of the particular sensor type, each curve showing the variation of the sample sensor output with the at least one measured quantity at a different value of the operating condition for the particular sensor type of said individual sensor, said set of curves covering the required operating range for the particular sensor type. The resulting sets of calibration curves of the plurality of sensors derived are then averages and the results used to produce a generic calibration surface for the particular sensor type showing the variation of the sensor reading with the at least one measured quantity across the required operating range. Individual calibration measurements are then taken for a number of different values of the measured quantity for the individual sensor at just a small number of discrete values for the at least one operating condition which fall within the full range of operating values for the at least one operating condition for which the sensor is to be calibrated. The individual calibration readings are then used to map the generic calibration surface to the individual calibration measurements of the individual sensor in order to fit it to the individual sensor.
