OELWEIN, Iowa (AP) — Joe Biden said Saturday that it is “bizarre” for Bernie Sanders to propose withholding U.S. military aid from Israel if the government there doesn’t moderate its treatment of Palestinians.

The remarks highlight a nuanced but significant distinction between the Democratic presidential contenders. Biden and Sanders support a “two-state solution” for Israel and the Palestinians, and both men have criticized political leaders on each side of the long-standing conflict. But Biden’s take, offered during a question-and-answer session with Iowa voters, hewed a more traditional U.S. establishment line by reaffirming a financial commitment to Israel regardless of its actions toward Palestinians.

The former vice president, while casting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “counterproductive” and “extreme right” leader and accused Palestinian leaders of “fomenting” the conflict and “baiting everyone who is Jewish,” while suggesting that some on the U.S. political left give the Palestinian Authority “a pass” when criticizing Israeli leadership.

“In terms of Bernie and others who talk about dealing with Zionism, I strongly support Israel as an independent Jewish state,” Biden said in rural northeastern Iowa. He added, “The idea that I’d withdraw military aid, as others have suggested, from Israel, is bizarre. I would not do that. It’s like saying to France, ’Because you don’t agree with us, we’re going to kick you out of NATO.”

Sanders, a Vermont senator, elevated the matter in late October when he said the U.S. should “leverage” its billions of dollars in annual Israeli aid. “My solution is to say to Israel: ‘You get $3.8 billion every year. If you want military aid, you’re going to have to fundamentally change your relationship to the people of Gaza.’ In fact, I think it is fair to say that some of that should go right now into humanitarian aid.”

Netanyahu said Thursday, despite warnings from the International Criminal Court, that he has the “full right” to annex the Jordan Valley altogether if it chooses, and he said he discussed annexation this week in a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

The Palestinians seek all the West Bank, captured by Israel in 1967, as the heartland of their hoped-for state. The Jordan Valley comprises about a quarter of the West Bank and is one of the few open areas that could be redeveloped by the Palestinians. Israel counters that the area is vital to its security. President Donald Trump’s administration aligns closely with Netanyahu, already recognizing Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights. Democrats, especially in the party’s progressive flank, have become increasingly critical of Netanyahu and the long-standing U.S. alliance with the Jerusalem government.

Biden on Saturday called it “a serious mistake, a fundamental mistake for the occupation of the West Bank now to become annexed property,” and he chided Netanyahu for a lurch to the “extreme right” as a means “to keep control.”

But Biden had perhaps even harsher words for the Palestinian Authority, seemingly blaming them for a failure to reach new peace accords “and get 98% of what they wanted” when President Barack Obama was in office with Biden as his top lieutenant.

“They continued to insist on baiting everyone who is Jewish, saying they would not sign a deal with a Jewish state, will not recognize one even if we have an independent nation,” Biden said.

Biden said that, as president, he’d continue to push Israel to accept a Palestinian state, but added that he’s “tired of everybody giving the Palestinian Authority a pass ... as if they’re not continuing to foment all of this.”

The modified pyramid hypospadias procedure: repair of megameatus and deep glanular groove variants.
We present our experience with the pyramid hypospadias repair in 37 patients with distal or subcoronal hypospadias. We also describe a significant modification (in the 7 most recent patients) of Duckett's original procedure that minimizes the risk of ventral fistula formation. This modification involves the creation of a vascularized second-layer tissue flap. We incorporated the modified pyramid hypospadias repair into the general surgical approach to subcoronal hypospadias. Our operative approach permits the delayed selection of either a perimeatal-based flap, preputial flap or a modified pyramid type repair after release of the shaft skin. In 35 patients the repair achieved excellent results, while only 2 had urethrocutaneous fistulas. No patient who underwent the modified repair suffered fistula formation. Our surgical technique is applicable to a number of variants of subcoronal hypospadias and maximizes repair options.

textbook:
Lesson: Understanding Hypospadias Repair

Introduction:
Hypospadias is a congenital abnormality where the urethral opening is located on the underside of the penis instead of the tip. It affects approximately one in every 200 to 300 male infants. This condition can be corrected through a surgical procedure called hypospadias repair. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of hypospadias, the modified pyramid hypospadias repair procedure, and its benefits.

Section 1: Understanding Hypospadias

text: Some would call this a cease fire, others a strategic move for trade talks with China, but Huawei will call it some relief. A month ago the Trump administration prevented American companies from supplying hardware and support to Huawei. Though Huawei had 3 months of supplies to ride out this ban, this relief could be what they need to support the Huawei Mate X.. To clarify, the White House states that only equipment that will not pose a risk to security, and is “widely available around the world“, will be able to be traded. So there will be more defined licenses for general parts that companies will need to do business with Huawei.. We will have to see which products and companies will fall under the ability to do business with Huawei. But this move was done by the Trump Administration to open up trade negotiations between the US and China. Question is how much public opinion against Huawei will affect their future sales, as they are still on the entities list, and still pose a threat to security.

Lesson: Understanding the Huawei Ban and Its Implications

## Introduction

In May 2019, the United States government announced that it would ban American companies from selling hardware and software to Huawei, a Chinese telecommunications company. This move was seen as part of an escalating trade war between the US and China. In this lesson, we will explore the reasons behind the ban, its impact on Huawei and other companies, and the broader implications for international trade and security.

## Section 1: Understanding the Ban

### Topic 1: Why was Huawei banned?

The US government has long been concerned about the potential national security risks posed by Huawei's equipment and technology. The company has been accused of using its products to spy on foreign governments and steal intellectual property. These concerns have been compounded by Huawei's close ties to the Chinese government and its role in China's domestic surveillance apparatus.

### Topic 2: How does the ban work?

The ban on Huawei is part of a broader effort by the US government to restrict the sale of American technology and services to foreign companies that pose a security risk. Under the ban, US companies are prohibited from selling or transferring any hardware, software, or technology to Huawei without a license from the US Commerce Department. This includes components such as semiconductors and software code, as well as technical support and maintenance services.

## Section 2: Impact on Huawei and Other Companies

### Topic 1: How has Huawei been affected?

Huawei has been one of the most visible victims of the US ban. The company has been unable to source critical components and technology from American suppliers, which has disrupted its operations and hindered its ability to compete in the global market. Huawei has also faced increased scrutiny from other countries, with several nations following the US lead in banning or restricting the use of Huawei equipment in their telecommunications networks.

### Topic 2: What about other companies?

The ban on Huawei has had wider repercussions for the tech industry as a whole. Many American companies that rely on sales to Huawei and other Chinese firms have seen their stock prices drop in response to the uncertainty created by the ban. Additionally, the US government has been pressuring other countries to follow suit and restrict Huawei's operations, which has created tension between the US and its allies.

## Section 3: Broader Implications for International Trade and Security

### Topic 1: How does the ban fit into the broader context of US-China relations?

The ban on Huawei is just one aspect of the ongoing trade war between the US and China. The two countries have been engaged in a series of tit-for-tat tariffs and other economic measures, which have raised concerns about the potential impact on global trade and economic growth. The US government sees the ban as a necessary step to protect national security and address China's unfair trade practices.

### Topic 2: What are the broader implications for international trade and security?

The US ban on Huawei has sparked a debate about the role of technology companies in national security and the future of international trade. Some experts argue that the ban is just the beginning of a broader effort by the US to limit China's economic and technological rise. Others worry that the ban could lead to a bipolar world where countries are forced to choose between American and Chinese technology, creating new divisions and tensions.

## Glossary

- Huawei: A Chinese telecommunications company that has been accused of posing a security risk to foreign governments.
- National security: The protection of a country's citizens, economy, and institutions from external threats such as espionage, sabotage, and terrorism.
- Telecommunications: The transmission of information over long distances, such as through phone calls or internet connections.
- Trade war: A conflict between two or more countries in which they engage in competitive trade restrictions, such as raising tariffs on each other's goods.

## Conclusion

The US ban on Huawei has far-reaching implications for international trade and security. While the ban may protect national security interests, it also risks further straining relations between the US and China and creating new divisions in the global economy. As technology continues to play an increasingly important role in our lives, it is crucial that we remain vigilant about the potential risks and work together to find solutions that balance security and economic growth.

Jason Jarrett

Men's Head Coach

College:Start Date: 4-1-11

My name is Jason Jarrett and I reside in Lynchburg and am affiliated with Liberty University because my parents met at Liberty back in the 70s. We moved around a little when I was growing up because my father was an ordained pastor. After my dad worked at a few different churches, my family moved back to Lynchburg where I was home schooled for a little while then attended CVCC, Liberty and Virginia Tech. I graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech in 2003 and continued working at my job at Innovative Wireless Technologies as a Hardware/RF Engineer. Growing up, I enjoyed multiple sports including Basketball, Soccer and Running which laid a good foundation for Ultimate Frisbee later in life. I was introduced to Ultimate Frisbee by a friend during the summer of 2003 and immediately enjoyed all aspects of the sport. While participating with a local UF pick-up group, I started helping out with AWANA at Thomas Road Baptist Church which led to my start in officially coaching in sports. After playing Ultimate Frisbee for a few years, I helped combine several small UF pick-up groups around Lynchburg and with Liberty's help, hosted a tournament in 2007. In 2010, I was informed by several local players that Liberty wanted to start Ultimate Frisbee as a Club Sport and thought I would be a good candidate to coach the team. I applied for the position and have coached the Men's and Women's teams for the past couple of years. Liberty competes against teams with many years of experience and has improved significantly over the past two years. Each year, Liberty has more students interested in joining the team and will only get better with time.

Lesson: Defining Airport Codes in Siebel Loyalty

### Section 1: Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about defining airport codes in Siebel Loyalty. Airport codes are important because they allow us to select the correct airport when creating products. By defining airport codes, we can ensure that our products are accurate and meet the needs of our customers.

### Section 2: Theoretical Concepts
To define airport codes in Siebel Loyalty, we need to understand the following concepts:

1. Airport Codes: These are unique identifiers for airports that flights arrive at and depart from.
2. Products: In Siebel Loyalty, products are items that can be sold or offered to customers.
3. Drop-Down Lists: These are menus that allow users to select options from a pre-defined list.

### Section 3: Practical Examples
Now that we understand the theoretical concepts, let's look at some practical examples of how to define airport codes in Siebel Loyalty:

1. Suppose an airline company wants to create a product that offers a discounted fare for flights departing from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and arriving at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). To do this, the airline company would need to define LAX and JFK as airport codes in Siebel Loyalty.
2. Another example could be an airline company that wants to offer a loyalty program for frequent flyers. To do this, the company would need to define airport codes for all the airports that their flights arrive at and depart from. This would allow them to select the correct airport when creating products for their loyalty program.

### Section 4: Self-Debating Discussions
Let's consider a scenario where an airline company wants to offer a loyalty program for frequent flyers. They want to create a product that offers bonus miles for flights departing from certain airports. How would they go about defining airport codes for these specific airports?

1. The first step would be to identify the airports that the company wants to offer bonus miles for. This could be done by analyzing flight data and identifying airports that have a high volume of frequent flyer traffic.
2. Once the airports have been identified, the company would need to define airport codes for each of these airports in Siebel Loyalty. This can be done by accessing the Airport Codes module and adding the relevant airport codes to the system.
3. After the airport codes have been defined, the company can create a product that offers bonus miles for flights departing from these airports. This can be done by selecting the appropriate airport codes in the From Airport drop-down list when creating the product.

### Glossary
Airport Codes: Unique identifiers for airports that flights arrive at and depart from.
Products: Items that can be sold or offered to customers in Siebel Loyalty.
Drop-Down Lists: Menus that allow users to select options from a pre-defined list.

### Conclusion

Publication 2632

Autopoietic enactivism (AE) is a relatively young but increasingly influential approach within embodied cognitive science, which aims to offer a viable alternative framework to mainstream cognitivism. Similarly, in biology, the nascent field of biosemiotics has steadily been developing an increasingly influential alternative framework to mainstream biology. Despite sharing common objectives and clear theoretical overlap, there has to date been little to no exchange between the two fields. This paper takes this under-appreciated overlap as not only a much needed call to begin building bridges between the two areas but also as an opportunity to explore how AE could benefit from biosemiotics. As a first tentative step towards this end, the paper will draw from both fields to develop a novel synthesis – biosemiotic enactivism – which aims to clarify, develop and ultimately strengthen some key AE concepts. The paper has two main goals: (i) to propose a novel conception of cognition that could contribute to the ongoing theoretical developments of AE and (ii) to introduce some concepts and ideas from biosemiotics to the enactive community in order to stimulate further debate across the two fields.

textbook:
Lesson Title: Autopoietic Enactivism and Biosemiotics: A Synthesis for Embodied Cognitive Science

Overview:
In this lesson, we will explore the concept of autopoietic enactivism and biosemiotics, two emerging fields in cognitive science and biology that offer alternative frameworks to mainstream cognitivism and biology. We will learn about the key concepts, theories, and principles of these fields and how they can be combined to create a novel synthesis called biosemiotic enactivism.

Section 1: Introduction to Autopoietic Enactivism and Biosemiotics

Autopoietic enactivism (AE) is an approach within embodied cognitive science that aims to offer a viable alternative framework to mainstream cognitivism. Similarly, biosemiotics is a nascent field in biology that seeks to develop an influential alternative framework to mainstream biology. Both fields share common objectives and theoretical overlap, but there has been little to no exchange between them.

Biosemiotics is based on the idea that living systems, such as organisms and ecosystems, communicate through signs. This communication is essential for the organization and development of these systems. On the other hand, AE emphasizes the importance of the environment in shaping cognition and the role of the body in mediating our interactions with the world.

Section 2: Key Concepts of Autopoietic Enactivism and Biosemiotics

Autopoietic enactivism is characterized by the following key concepts:

1. Enactivism: The idea that cognition is inherently embodied and situated, meaning that it is always embedded in the environment and the context in which it occurs.
2. Autopoiesis: The process by which a system creates and maintains itself by producing its own components, such as cells in an organism.
3. Self-organization: The spontaneous formation of structures and patterns in complex systems without external direction or control.
4. Enaction: The process by which an agent engages with the environment to produce cognition.

Biosemiotics, on the other hand, is based on the following key concepts:

1. Semiosis: The process by which signs are produced and interpreted by living systems.
2. Peircean triad: A model of sign relations consisting of three elements: the sign, the object, and the interpretant.
3. Umwelt: The subjective world of a living organism, which is shaped by its experiences and interactions with the environment.
4. Biocommunication: The communication that occurs between living systems through signs.

Section 3: Biosemiotic Enactivism: A Novel Synthesis

To combine the strengths of AE and biosemiotics, we propose a novel synthesis called biosemiotic enactivism. This approach incorporates the key concepts of both fields while addressing some of their limitations.

1. Enactive Semiosis: This concept combines the ideas of enactivism and semiosis, emphasizing the role of the body in mediating interactions with the environment and the importance of biocommunication in shaping cognition.
2. Autopoietic Umwelt: This concept highlights the idea that the subjective world of an organism is shaped by its interactions with the environment and that this world is autonomously generated through self-organization.
3. Self-Organizing Semiosis: This concept combines the ideas of self-organization and semiosis, emphasizing the spontaneous formation of signs and patterns in living systems.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we have explored the concept of autopoietic enactivism and biosemiotics, two emerging fields in cognitive science and biology that offer alternative frameworks to mainstream cognitivism and biology. We have learned about the key concepts, theories, and principles of these fields and how they can be combined to create a novel synthesis called biosemiotic enactivism. By understanding these fields and their synthesis, we can apply these concepts to new problems and gain a deeper understanding of the nature of cognition and life.

Swedish Member Of Parliament: Leading Politicians Support 9/11 Truth Movement

Political leaders for 9/11 Truth growing in numbers

Steve Watson

Infowars.net

Monday, Nov 9, 2009

A Swedish Member of Parliament has pledged support for a new investigation into the events of 9/11, adding that prominent political figures support the view that elements of the U.S. government were involved in staging the attacks.

An article headlined “The U.S. was part of the attack” in the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, highlights comments made by MP Egon Frid of the country’s “Left Party”.

“The U.S. administration knew of the terrorist attack before and was a part of it,” Frid said in an interview with Swedish TV network TV4 on it’s “Kalla Facts” (Hard Facts) programme.

“My curiosity has once again led me in new ways and to top it all, I have new theories about what really happened 9/11″ Frid writes on his blog.

Frid, who was elected to parliament as a full member in 2006, also stated that he knows there are several leading politicians in Sweden who are interested in the Truth Movement’s message, but they will not go public with their views “because it is an impossible debate.”

Frid also revealed that he has joined the “Political Leaders For 9/11 Truth” group, to which other notables have pledged support, such as Andreas von Bülow, former German State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Defense, Yukihisa Fujita, Japanese Member of Parliament, Michael Meacher, Minister of the British Parliament, Cynthia McKinney, Jesse Ventura, and many other political luminaries from all corners of the globe.

The group was founded earlier this year, joining the growing ranks of professionals calling for a new independent investigation into 9/11, including the groups:

Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth

Firefighters for 9/11 Truth

Journalists and Other Media Professionals for 9/11 Truth

Lawyers for 9/11 Truth

Medical Professionals for 9/11 Truth

Pilots for 9/11 Truth

Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth

Scholars for 9/11 Truth & Justice

Answer: Assumptions are beliefs or ideas that we hold to be true without any evidence to support them. They can be dangerous because they can lead us to make decisions based on false premises or incomplete information. For example, if we assume that all politicians are corrupt, we may dismiss their ideas without considering their merits.

Topic 3: Considering Alternative Viewpoints

Question: Why is it important to consider alternative viewpoints?

Answer: Considering alternative viewpoints is essential because it allows us to see issues from different perspectives and understand the complexities of a situation. By examining multiple viewpoints, we can avoid oversimplification and make more informed decisions.

Section 2: Developing Critical Thinking Skills

Topic 1: Asking Questions

Question: How can asking questions help me develop critical thinking skills?

Answer: Asking questions is an essential part of critical thinking because it helps us to analyze information and understand its implications. By asking questions, we can identify gaps in our knowledge, challenge assumptions, and clarify our understanding of a topic.

Topic 2: Analyzing Evidence

Question: How can I analyze evidence effectively?

Answer: To analyze evidence effectively, you should ask questions such as "What is the evidence?" "Who collected it?" "How was it collected?" and "What does it prove?" By critically examining the evidence, you can determine its reliability and credibility.

Topic 3: Drawing Conclusions

Question: How can I draw conclusions based on the information I have?

Answer: To draw conclusions, you should evaluate all available information and consider alternative explanations. You should also be aware of any potential biases or assumptions that may affect your judgment.

Section 3: Applying Critical Thinking Skills

Topic 1: Identifying False Information

Question: How can I identify false information?

Answer: To identify false information, you should examine the source of the information, evaluate the evidence presented, and consider alternative viewpoints. You should also be aware of common tactics used to manipulate or deceive people, such as appeals to emotion or distortion of facts.

Topic 2: Making Informed Decisions

Question: How can I use critical thinking to make informed decisions?

Answer: To make informed decisions, you should evaluate the information you have gathered, consider the potential consequences of your choices, and consult with others when necessary. By using critical thinking skills, you can make decisions based on facts rather than assumptions or emotions.

Conclusion:

Critical thinking is an essential skill that allows us to analyze information, make informed decisions, and understand the world around us. By developing our critical thinking skills, we can avoid misinformation, make better choices, and contribute to a more informed society.

Title: Understanding the Differences Between Cannabis, Marijuana, and Hemp

### Lesson 1: Introduction to Cannabis, Marijuana, and Hemp

Cannabis is a plant that has been used for thousands of years for its medicinal properties. It contains two main active ingredients, THC and CBD, which have different effects on the human body. Marijuana refers to the dried leaves and flowers of the cannabis plant that are smoked or eaten to produce a high. Hemp, on the other hand, is a variety of cannabis that is grown for industrial purposes, such as making rope, cloth, and paper.

In this lesson, we will explore the differences between cannabis, marijuana, and hemp. We will also learn about their uses, benefits, and potential risks. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to distinguish between these three types of cannabis and understand their unique properties.

### Lesson 2: Cannabis - The Plant

Cannabis is an annual herbaceous plant that grows up to 6 meters tall. It has a thin, branching stem with oval-shaped leaves. The plant produces small flowers that are usually green or yellow in color. The flowers contain the highest concentration of THC and CBD, which are responsible for the plant's medicinal properties.

Cannabis has been used for thousands of years for its medicinal properties. It has been used to treat a wide range of conditions, including pain, inflammation, anxiety, and cancer. The medicinal properties of cannabis come from the active ingredients, THC and CBD.

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis that produces a high. It binds to the same receptors in the brain as the active ingredient in marijuana. CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive ingredient that has been shown to have a range of medicinal properties, including reducing anxiety, inflammation, and pain.

### Lesson 3: Marijuana - The Drug

Marijuana is a drug made from the dried leaves and flowers of the cannabis plant. It is usually smoked or eaten to produce a high. The high is caused by the active ingredient in cannabis, THC, which binds to the same receptors in the brain as the active ingredient in marijuana.

The effects of marijuana vary depending on the strength of the drug and the individual user. Common effects include heightened senses, increased heart rate, and altered perception of time. While marijuana use can be enjoyable for some people, it can also have negative side effects, such as paranoia, anxiety, and addiction.

### Lesson 4: Hemp - The Industrial Plant

Hemp is a variety of cannabis that is grown for industrial purposes, such as making rope, cloth, and paper. It contains very low levels of THC, making it unsuitable for producing a high. Instead, hemp is valued for its strong fibers and seeds, which can be used for a range of products.

Hemp has been used for thousands of years for its industrial properties. It is strong and durable, making it ideal for making rope and cloth. The seeds of the plant can also be used for food, oil, and other products.

### Lesson 5: Conclusion

In conclusion, cannabis, marijuana, and hemp are all varieties of the same plant. However, they have different uses and properties. Cannabis is the plant itself, marijuana is the drug made from it, and hemp is the industrial plant that is grown for its fibers and seeds. Understanding the differences between these three types of cannabis can help us appreciate their unique properties and potential risks.

Billy Porter has recalled coming out during the height of the Aids epidemic.

The openly gay actor – who is currently starring in Ryan Murphy’s latest series Pose – has been vocal in LGBTQ rights and during an interview with Variety, Porter recalled coming out during the height of the Aids epidemic.

Porter said: “I came out as gay in 1985, it was the middle of the Aids crisis.

“It was a dark time, it was a dark, dark time. We were living through a plague. And it was a group of people that it felt like nobody cared about and that cloud was hanging over the city in a really hard way.”

During the Actors on Actors interview, Porter was asked about his involvement in Murphy’s new series – which focuses on the New York ballroom scene – and how he feels to portray the historical story on screen, something he claims he never thought he would see.

He continued: “The great part about it was that – and I think this is what infuses the show – is the choice to choose life anyway is such a powerful thing.

“It’s a powerful tool to have in life in general and you can’t have a testimony unless you have a test.

“If I’m being honest with you, I never felt like this story being told would ever be an option.

“My dreams have always been huge, but they’ve always been spring-boarded off to something I had already seen. Never the impossible.”

MEM devices, such as digital light processing (DLP™) devices disclosed in Texas Instruments' patents and technical publications, have been widely used in projection displays. The MEM devices, also called reflective light modulators or micro-display panels, are made of small electronically controlled micro-mirrors in rows and columns. (In the following sections, the terms “DLP” and “MEM” are used interchangeably to describe MEM display panels). FIG. 1A shows the principle of the MEM device and FIG. 1B shows a typical arrangement of a single DLP panel projection display. Each micro-mirror or pixel in a DLP panel can be titled electronically at two fixed positions +α, or −α, corresponding to “on” and “off” pixels, respectively. In FIG. 1A the light is incident from the side of the micro-display panel at an angle 2α to the panel normal. For “on” pixels, the mirrors are tilted towards the incident beam. The incident beam is reflected along the normal of the panel surface and is directed through an optical arrangement that typically includes a projection lens as shown in FIG. 1B. For “off” pixels, the micro-mirrors will be tilted away from the incident beam, i.e. away from the projection lens direction and this unwanted beam will be absorbed by a light absorber. For “flat pixels” or any non-moving specular surfaces on the panel, the light will be reflected with an angle 2α from the panel normal and will also be absorbed by a light absorber. By controlling the amount of time each micro-mirror is in the “on” and “off” positions an image can be encoded onto the “on” beam and projected onto a screen. In addition, full colour images can be displayed on screen by using a colour filter wheel to generate colour light beams time sequentially at a fast speed.
As shown in FIG. 1A, the incident beam and the image or “on” beam directions are separated from each other. However, in practice the incident light beam contains a cone of light over a range of angles and so therefore does the reflected beam. The two beams are very close to each other. In order to physically separate them in a projection arrangement, sometimes a total internal reflection (TIR) prism, or “light gate”, device as shown in FIG. 1B is used. The light beam with a cone angle from an illumination system is incident upon the TIR surface at angles greater than the critical angle, thus the beam is totally reflected towards the DLP panel. For “on” pixels, the light reflected back from the panel to the TIR surface is incident at angles smaller than the critical angle and thus will pass through this surface. Because of the use of the TIR prism, the cone angle of the “on” pixels, or the aperture of the illumination system and the projection optical system can not exceed the cone angle determined by the mirror tilting angle to avoid overlap of the beams. For a DLP panel with 10° tilting angle, the f-number of the illumination and projection systems will be 2.9, thus limiting the amount of light that can be used from the illumination system and the light efficiency of the system. FIG. 1B also shows a typical illumination system arrangement of DLP projectors having a light source, a colour wheel, and a light pipe. DLP projection systems, such as the arrangement shown in FIG. 1B, are used for two dimensional (2D) image displays, such as in rear projection TVs or front projectors.
A three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic image display needs to display 2D images that represent both the left- and right-eye perspective views for the viewer. This can be achieved, for example, by displaying a left-eye 2D image in one polarized light and a corresponding right-eye 2D image view in orthogonally polarized light so that a viewer wearing polarizing glasses receives correct 2D images in each eye and thus perceives a stereoscopic 3D image. There are a several approaches to use DLP projectors to project three-dimensional (3D) images. However, in these approaches, the DLP projectors have internal optical arrangements that are similar to 2D-only DLP projectors. They use un-polarized light and achieve 3D operation only in combination with other external components or devices. Because of this they are highly light inefficient for 3D use. In the first 3D approach, a single active DLP projector can alternatively display left- and right-eye 2D images time sequentially. A viewer, wearing active liquid crystal shutter (LC) glasses that are synchronized with the DLP projector, will be able to see 3D images because the left- and right-eye LC shutters open only when the correct eye image is displayed. The LC shutters typically transmit only about 35% of the incident light. In addition, because the left- and right-eye images are each displayed at most half of the time, this arrangement is very light inefficient for displaying 3D images. The 3D images appear very dim in comparison to the same projector displaying a single 2D image. Furthermore, LC shutter glasses are expensive and need electrical power to operate, making them bulky and inconvenient to wear.
In the second approach, two DLP projectors can be used to separately project the left- and right-eye images. Each projector has a sheet polarizer in front of it. One sheet polarizer allows light in one polarization to pass and the other one allows the orthogonal polarization to pass. Thus, the left- and right-eye 2D images are projected simultaneously with orthogonal polarizations onto a polarization-preserving screen. A viewer wearing polarizing glasses will be able to see 3D images because the polarizing glasses only allow the correct image to be seen by the correct eye. However, such an approach is bulky and expensive because it requires two projectors and it is also difficult to align the images from the two projectors. In addition, the light efficiency in 3D is low as well because of the use of external polarizers whose transmittance at most is 42%. Another approach to display 3D images with DLP projectors is to encode the left- and right-eye 2D images using different spectral regions of the illuminating light and to view a stereoscopic 3D image using appropriate colour filter glasses. This approach can be implemented with a colour filter wheel time sequential approach or with dual projectors. Similarly with the polarization encoding approach, this approach also results in expensive and light inefficient 3D displays.
Liquid crystal display (LCD) microdisplay technology represents an alternative to MEMs devices in projection systems. In contrast to MEMs micro-mirror panels that modulate the direction of an incident illuminating beam in order to form an image, LCD devices form an image by changing the polarization of the illuminating light. LCD micro-panels can operate in either transmission or reflection and polarizing beam splitters (PBS) are needed to separate the polarized image beam from the orthogonally polarized illuminating beam. The light sources used in projection systems typically emit un-polarized light and one advantage of MEMs devices is that they can operate with un-polarized incident light whereas LCD devices require polarized incident light. MEMs devices reflect light at different angles for “on” and “off” pixels and use a TIR prism to separate the encoded image beam from the illuminating light. LCD devices modulate the polarization of the illuminating beam and use a PBS to separate out the polarized encoded image beam.

Lesson: Introduction to Micro-Display Panels

### Section 1: What are Micro-Display Panels?

Micro-display panels, also known as MEM devices or reflective light modulators, are electronic devices that can control the reflection of light. They are made up of small micro-mirrors arranged in rows and columns. These micro-mirrors can be tilted electronically to reflect light either towards or away from the viewer, creating an image on a screen.

### Section 2: How do Micro-Display Panels Work?

Micro-display panels work by controlling the position of each micro-mirror to either reflect light towards the viewer (on) or away from the viewer (off). This is done by applying an electric field to the micro-mirrors, causing them to tilt at an angle of either +α or -α. The angle α is determined by the voltage applied to the micro-mirror. The light that is reflected off the micro-mirrors is then directed towards a screen, where it creates an image.

### Section 3: Applications of Micro-Display Panels

Micro-display panels are commonly used in projection displays, such as those found in movie theaters and business presentations. They are also used in other applications, such as virtual reality headsets, augmented reality devices, and wearable technology.

### Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about micro-display panels, their construction, and how they work. We also explored some of their applications and potential uses in various industries. By understanding the principles behind micro-display panels, we can better appreciate their role in modern technology and imagine new ways in which they might be used in the future.
