摘要:
A crank arm for a pedal-driven vehicle is described herein. The crank arm includes a first member that pivots about a crank axis of the pedal-driven vehicle and a second member rotationally coupled to the first member and configured to receive a pedal. The crank arm further includes a spring assembly configured to bias the second member towards a neutral rotation configuration relative to the first member and to resist rotation of the second member away from the neutral rotation configuration, wherein a distance between the crank axis and the pedal interface is greater than a distance between the crank axis and the member pivot point when the second member is in the neutral rotation configuration.

A high aperture active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) includes pixel electrodes in respective pixels which overlap adjacent address lines. The color filters are formed on the active substrate in a manner such that the filters also overlap the address lines and function as an insulating layer between the pixel electrodes and address lines in the areas of overlap. Accordingly, line-pixel capacitances are reduced and the resulting AMLCD is easier to manufacture. The total number of process step in manufacturing is reduced, and plate-to-plate (active to passive plate) alignment is much easier and less important.

This invention relates to a front electrode/contact for use in an electronic device such as a photovoltaic device. In certain example embodiments, the front electrode of a photovoltaic device or the like includes a multilayer coating including at least one transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer (e.g., of or including a material such as tin oxide, ITO, zinc oxide, or the like) and/or at least one conductive substantially metallic IR reflecting layer (e.g., based on silver, gold, or the like). In certain example instances, the multilayer front electrode coating may include one or more conductive metal(s) oxide layer(s) and one or more conductive substantially metallic IR reflecting layer(s) in order to provide for reduced visible light reflection, increased conductivity, cheaper manufacturability, and/or increased infrared (IR) reflection capability. At least one of the surfaces of the front glass substrate may be textured in certain example embodiments of this invention.

A plasma display panel (PDP) includes a frameless EMI filter supported by a glass substrate for blocking/shielding substantial amounts of electromagnetic waves, with the filter being supported by a side of the substrate opposite a viewer. In certain example embodiments, the PDP filter includes a transparent conductive coating (TCC) for electromagnetic interference (EMI) and near infrared (NIR) blocking without the need for a conductive, peripheral buss bar. Additionally, in certain example embodiments, the need for a conductive frame is reduced or eliminated. The filter has high visible transmission, and is capable of blocking/shielding electromagnetic waves.

摘要:
A coated article includes a temperable antireflection (AR) coating that utilizes medium and low index (index of refraction “n”) layers having compressive residual stress in the AR coating. In certain example embodiments, the coating may include the following layers from the glass substrate outwardly: silicon oxynitride (SiOxNy) medium index layer/high index layer/low index layer. In certain example embodiments, depending on the chemical and optical properties of the high index layer and the substrate, the medium and low index layers of the AR coating are selected to cause a net compressive residual stress and thus optimize the overall performance of the antireflection coating when the coated article is tempered and/or heat-treated.
