Electrical pulse counters, pulse dividers, or shift registers: circuits and systems inventions 10/07

20070248204 - Shift register circuit and image display apparatus equipped with the same: Malfunction caused by leakage current of the transistor is prevented in the shift register in which the signal can be shifted bi-directionally. The bi-directional unit shift register includes a transistor Q1 between a clock terminal CK and an output terminal OUT, a transistor Q2 for discharging the output terminal OUT,...

20070237284 - Methods and apparatus for controlling devices in a networked lighting system: Methods and apparatus for computer-based control of light sources in a networked lighting system. In one example, a plurality of LED-based lighting systems are arranged as computer controllable “light strings.” Applications contemplated for such light strings include, but are not limited to, decorative and entertainment-oriented lighting applications (e.g., Christmas tree...
