US 8145362 B2Abstract
As system is disclosed for providing power averaging for the utility grids and more specifically to utilizing a unique EESU unit with the capability to store electrical energy over 24 hour periods each day and provide power averaging to homes, commercial, and industrial sites to reduce the peak power requirements. Charging such power averaging units during the non-peak times and delivering the energy during the peak-demands times provides for more efficient utilization of utility-grid power-generating plants and the already existing power transmission lines. Such a unit may also have the capability of isolating the users from utility-grid power failures, transients, and AC noise.
The present application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/180,311, filed May 21, 2009, entitled “UTILITY GRID POWER AVERAGING AND CONDITIONING,” naming inventor Richard D. Weir, which application is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
The present application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/297,470, filed Jan. 22, 2010, entitled “UTILITY GRID POWER AVERAGING AND CONDITIONING,” naming inventor Richard D. Weir, which application is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
The present application claims priority from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/499,594, filed Aug. 2, 2006, entitled “SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR UTILITY GRID POWER AVERAGING, LONG TERM UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY, POWER LINE ISOLATION FROM NOISE AND TRANSIENTS AND INTELLIGENT POWER TRANSFER ON DEMAND,” naming inventors Richard D. Weir and Carl W. Nelson, which application is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
This disclosure relates generally to circuitry and methods for providing power averaging for utility grids.
The most common method of providing line isolation and utility grid primary power backup is the use of uninterrupted power systems (UPS) as a secondary power source for providing sufficient power duration until motor generator units are running and the power stabilized. Such a system can provide utility-grid primary power backup, as indicated in FIG. 1. Common types of motor generator units are internal combustion engines (ICs), gas turbines (GTs), and microturbines (MTs). Each of these types of motor generator units have finite start up times and other issues as indicated in Table I. The negative issues of motor generators as indicated in Table I are the high unit cost, high fuel consumption cost, low electrical efficiencies, high operating and maintenance costs (O&M), and environmental issues associated with their emissions.
Electrochemical batteries prematurely reach end of life for two reasons: manufacturing defects and battery management issues. Manufacturing defects include “cold” welds between adjacent cells; inter-cell shorts; reversed plates; incomplete casting of the “straps,” which results in “dropped” plates; defects in paste mixing, which leads to poor paste adhesion; and contamination of the paste or electrode. Detecting defects in batteries after assembly is very difficult and expensive. Quality cannot practically be inspected-in after construction.
To overcome such problems of lead-acid batteries, a battery management strategy is tailored to the type of battery and its application. VRLA batteries in conventional double-conversion UPS systems, as indicated in FIG. 2, have limitations in the degrees of freedom that can be employed for battery management. Batteries in such systems are always “float” charged. That is, they are continuously supplied with a low charging voltage, in the range of 13.4 to 13.6 volts per jar, as a result of their connection to the DC bus of the rectifier/inverter combination, which is always active. The circuit topology also provides a level of DC ripple current which continuously flows in the batteries from the rectification/inversion process. As a result, a significant amount of heat is continuously generated in the batteries. VRLA batteries employ Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) or gel electrolyte technology, in which the electrolyte is not free to move, making heat removal more difficult.
Stratification can also be reduced by agitating the electrolyte. In vehicle applications, agitation occurs naturally with the movement of the vehicle. In stationary applications, agitation can be accomplished by periodically “gassing” the battery, by raising the charging voltage to the level where electrolysis of water occurs and hydrogen and oxygen gases are created within the electrolyte. The gas bubbles, moving through the electrolyte, provide a stirring action. The technique for providing this function is called equalize-charging which is used to replenish the energy losses in the battery due to self-discharge and operate the control function of the battery management system. However, if the equalize-charge process is performed too frequently, the oxygen generated from electrolysis can accelerate positive grid plate oxidation. Such oxidation can cause the plates to “grow” and short to the negative straps causing battery failure. Another reason to control the number of equalize charges is electrolysis of the water during each charging process diminishes the amount of water in the electrolyte, which can also lead to battery failure.
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the invention. While the invention will be described in conjunction with the preferred embodiment, it will be understood that they are not intended to limit the invention to those embodiments. On the contrary, the invention is intended to cover alternatives, modification, and equivalents, which may be included within the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
In an embodiment, a system provides electrical energy users a method of averaging energy usage over a 24-hour period. The method is called power averaging or “peak shaving”. The functionally aspects of power averaging are indicated in FIG. 3. In the power averaging mode, solid state switches (SS5, SS6, SS9, and SS10) are active and other solid state switches are inactive. The control computer 300 sets the input flow rate (kW�h) from the utility grid that provides the user with sufficient energy for a 24-hour period to the EESU main unit 310 so that the stored electrical energy in this unit is not depleted to zero. Therefore, the EESU main units 310 may be configured to provide sufficient energy to the user during the peak demand time while the energy supplied by the utility grid is constant over the 24 hour power averaging period. However, if the energy in the EESU main unit 310 is depleted to a minimum set level, the control computer 300 may increase the system input energy flow rate so that the primary minimum energy storage level is maintained. If this condition continues the control computer 300 may order additional EESU main unit 310 storage which can be installed real time.
In another embodiment, the architecture may provide real time incremental changes to the EESU main unit 310 energy storage capability, sometimes called “hot swapping.” This aspect can also be used to perform maintenance on the EESU main units 310. When the control computer 300 is notified to activate this aspect, it may first ensure that EESU buffers 1 (360) and 2 (350) are fully charged, then SS5, SS6, SS9, and SS10 may be deactivated. SS7, SS8, SS11, and SS12 may be activated. The computer 300 may increase the power delivery to a level that ensures that the EESU buffers 1 (360) and 2 (350) remain at full charge. When the computer is notified that the process has been completed, it may again ensure that the energy storage buffers are fully charged and deactivate SS7, SS8, SS11, and SS12 and activate SS5, SS6, SS9, and SS10.

You should call in here to see this place. It was refurbished, and the interior is really amazing. The ceiling is fantastically decorated. The chuch is shallow back to front so that the congregation are all close to the front. On a day out in Belfast it is a nice oasis to escape all the traffic noise. You can sit, or kneel, and be still. Whatever your faith, it is a place to be at peace, and all are welcome.

this church is beautiful. The decor is apparently textbook *something*, but I am not sure what, all I know is that it is pretty, and light, with candles, statues of saints, and roof covered in white decorations that are like preaks of egg white.

“Lovely quiet church in the middle of Belfast bustle.”
The layout of this church is unusual among European churches I've been to, being transverse; the effect is startling, giving an immediacy to the altar from the pews that is not seen in larger churches. The vaulted 'cake topping' ceiling is a site to behold, and the light in the afternoon, particularly in the winter, is almost spectral.A quiet retreat for the spiritually-minded.

Such vehicle was insured by Pan-Malayan Insurance. Canlubang corp claimed the policy to repair the vehicle, costing around 45k. In turn, The insurance company served demand letters to Erlinda Fabie to reimburse them for the amount it paid to repair the vehicle. The demand letters were unheeded.
ISSUE  HELD  Since the insurance company indemnified Canlubang corp for the damage its vehicle sustained, the insurance company has been subrogated the rights of the insured to recover the amount of damage against Erlinda Fabie. It gave the insurance company a cause of action against Erlinda Fabie. The right of subrogation simply accrues upon payment of the insurance claim by the insurer. General Rule: The insurer is subrogated the rights of the insured to go after the person who caused damage to the insured. The insurer simply steps into the shoes of the insured. Exception 1: If the insured by his own act, releases the wrong doer for the loss or damage, then the insurer's right of subrogation is defeated. If the insured releases or absolves the wrong doer, then the insurer cannot go after the wrong doer and cannot recover the amount it had paid to the insured. Exception 2: Where the insurer pays the assured for a loss which is not a risk covered by the policy, thereby affeecting voluntary payment, the former has no right of subrogation against the 3rd party liable for the loss. *Note on Exception 1: If the wrong doer pays the insured any amount to settle the matter and the insured still claims the policy, the insurer can go after the insured for the amount paid to it by the wrongdoer. W/N The insurance company has a cause of action against Erlinda Fabie? - YES

Always had excellent food and service
Cheryle T. rated
We have ordered here 4 or 5 times and a problem every time. They don't know how to take an order over the phone and I got passed to 2 or 3 people to place the order. This happened every time. We received the wrong food on one occasion and incorrectly billed another time. After the 4th time we called another pizza place but didn't like the food. We decided to try this location again, and sure enough, got passed to 3 people to get the order placed. The last person couldn't get our phone number right, changed the pricing twice, couldn't give me a final total, finally started raising his voice to me and telling me not to use profanity because he knew his rights thru the state of California. I never used profanity, and told him I was on my way there and hung up. I drove to the location, spoke with the manager who basically could not or would not do anything except keep offering me free food. I told him I wanted to pay for the food, my point in being there was to make sure that management knew what was going on at that location and did something about it. I do not think the manager did anything or even cared. We are not using this location again and we advise others to go elsewhere as well.
Worst Mother's Day brunch. Misleading advertisement and menu. Not a true buffet. Not worth $32 per person. Never again.
Love the salads, and of course amazing pizza. This is a must stop for a family when we're in the area. Most recently a good dinner after a long day playing in the snow.
I called ahead and wanted to order a pizza to be ready in 90 minutes. I work about 45 minutes away and wanted to pick it up on my way home. They said there was no way I could do that. The earliest I could pick it up was 2 1/2 hours away. But if I ordered it now it would be ready in about 15 to 20 minutes. Customer service is lacking and I will purposely choose somewhere else.

They have a big play area for kids and bungee jumping, very good pizza!! staff are nice and friendly.
Amazing Kombucha selection with a self service bar and they let you sample them all! Met my girlfriend here for coffee and kombucha and blown away by the service and the selection of coffee, smoothies, bakery items, sandwiches and kombucha. They have three distinct sitting areas... the patio, the main coffee area and a little intimate lounge area with couches and upholstered furniture. Love this little coffee house nestled in the middle of Old Auburn right across the street from the historic Auburn Courthouse.
What a hidden gem great food local wine and the best corned beef sandwiches in the foothills the matzo ball soup is to dye for!!!
My son loves this place! I do feel the games are a huge ripoff. I spent over $10 in tokens and my son was able to get a small piece of candy and plastic ring. Food is decent and kids will spend hours playing.

Description
This application makes reference to, incorporates the same herein, and claims all benefits accruing under 35 U.S.C. �119 from an application entitled Apparatus and Method for Controlling a Monitor earlier filed in the Korean Industrial Property Office on Feb. 17, 1996 and Mar. 29, 1996, and there duly assigned Serial No. 96-3967 and 96-9318 by that Office.
The present invention relates to a general purpose computer system, and more particularly, relates to a monitor control device which receives video and synchronizing signals from a host computer to provide a visual display of information on a monitor, and a method for controlling the monitor.
Conventional monitors, both color and monochrome, typically have built-in control inputs for manual user adjustments of display parameters such as contrast, brightness, picture position including horizontal and vertical positioning, size, tint, color balance, focus, degauss, video cutoff, video gain, tilt, parallelogram, trapezoid distortion adjustment, inter alia. Multi frequency monitors have several control inputs which increase the number of combinations of adjustments that a user can make. These control inputs are typically rotary potentiometers, and may be mounted at different locations around the case of the monitor as determined by each manufacturer. They may be located on the front in plane with the display screen, on the side, in the back, or on top of the case, often behind a small panel where the user may open to access the controls.
In a cathode ray tube (CRT) monitor, the control inputs for contrast and brightness typically interact with video circuitry in the monitor, and modulate the signal by varying electrical potential that effect the formation of an on-screen image. The brightness control, for example, adjusts the level of the scanning electron beam, which in turn makes the on-screen image brighter or less bright. Contrast is the linear relationship between incoming video dot data signal strength and the current screen brightness. In addition to brightness and contrast control inputs, there are also control inputs for position and sizing, which allow the user to alter the position of the display on the screen and to adjust the height and width of the display area on the screen.
Generally, a CRT monitor is connected to a host computer through a video graphics array (VGA) cable which is used to transfer video signals and a dedicated control cable such as a RS232C cable which is used to transfer control information from the host computer to the monitor. When a RS232C cable is used to transfer control information from the host computer to the monitor, an RS232C port must be established between the host computer and an RS232C interface contained in the monitor which typically results in an increase of production cost. In addition, since the control inputs are mounted on the monitor, it is necessary for the user to reach to the monitor, sometimes to different locations around its case, to find the proper control switches of the monitor to operate the switches when the adjustment of any one of the display contrast, brightness, position, size, tint, color balance, focus, degauss, video cutoff, video gain, tilt, parallelogram, and trapezoid distortion is required. Moreover, since the control inputs are mounted on the monitor with a limited number of control switches, it is impossible for the user to control all the monitor functions sometimes.
Recent efforts in the art such as U.S. Pat. No. 5,550,556 for Transmitting Data And Commands To Display Monitors issued to Wu et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,532,719 for Remote Control Of Display Functions issued to Kikinis, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,457,473 for Image Display Apparatus issued to Arai et al., have endeavored to provide an image display device for adjusting display parameters for a display monitor without having to access control inputs mounted on the monitor. For example, in Wu et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,550,556, the display parameters are adjusted by way of software control. Similarly, both Kikinis, U.S. Pat. No. 5,532,719 and Arai et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,457,473 allow the user to input control instructions for adjusting the display picture from an input unit such as a keyboard. While each of these patents has its own merits, I believe that further improvements can still be made to effectively and efficiently control a variety of display functions of the monitor without the use of a RS232C cable and its interface between the monitor and the host computer.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved monitor control device capable of controlling a variety of display functions of a monitor without the use of a RS232C cable and its interface between the monitor and a host computer.
It is also an object to provide a monitor controlling method which is adapted to easily control a variety of monitor functions of a monitor using a host computer.
These and other objects of the present invention can be achieved by a monitor control device incorporated into a CRT-type of monitor which includes a terminal for receiving a composite signal from an external computer through a cable in which the composite signal comprises video signals including control data representing operating characteristics of a data display and synchronizing signals; a polarity converter for converting polarities of the synchronizing signals into synchronizing signals having the same polarity therein; a bias adjusting circuit for receiving a first color signal including a first clock signal and a second color signal including the control data from the video signals, and for adjusting respective direct current bias voltages of the first and the second color signals so as to generate bias voltage adjusted color signals; a signal extracting circuit for extracting the first clock signal and the control data from the bias voltage adjusted color signals; a monitor controller for receiving the first clock signal and the control data from the signal extracting circuit during a vertical synchronization period of the synchronizing signals, and for generating a second clock signal and a plurality of discrete monitor control signals each representing a different operating characteristic of the data display in correspondence with the first clock signal and the control data, respectively; and a monitor function adjusting circuit for adjusting the operating characteristics of the data display according to the monitor control signals in synchronization with the second clock signal.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the control data contains a start code representing a start portion, a control code representing an adjustment request of the data display in a specific operating characteristic, a control value representing an adjustment value, and a check code indicating whether the control code and the control value are valid. Each control code represents an adjustment request of the data display for adjusting one of display brightness, display contrast, horizontal position, horizontal size, vertical position, vertical size, pin cushion, trapezoid distortion, parallel degree, pin balance, tilt, vertical linearity, horizontal focus, vertical focus, horizontal conversion, discrete color cut-off, and discrete color gain. The monitor controller seeks to adjust the operating characteristics of the data display by comparing the start code of the control data with a preset comparison code, reading sequentially the control code, the control value and the check code when the start code corresponds to the preset comparison code, and then generating the second clock signal and the plurality of discrete monitor function signals to the monitor function adjusting circuit for picture adjustment when the check code validates the validity of the control code and the control value.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the monitor function adjusting circuit as constructed according to the principles of the present invention includes a deflection circuit for adjusting horizontal and vertical deflection of the data display; a degauss circuit for eliminating magnetic field remaining in the data display; a video amplifier for producing amplified video signals by amplifying discrete color components of the video signals; a video and on-screen display mixer for mixing the amplified video signals and on-screen display information to generate mixed signals; and a video cut-off circuit for adjusting direct current levels of the mixed signals to thereby adjust the operating characteristics of the data display according to the monitor control signals.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to the drawings, and particularly to FIG. 1 which illustrates a combination of a host computer 1 connected to a CRT-type of monitor 2 having an exemplary monitor control device incorporated therein through a VGA cable 4 and a RS232C cable 5. When a RS232C cable is used to transfer control information from the host computer to the monitor, an RS232C port must be established between the host computer and a RS232C interface contained in the monitor which typically results in an increase of production cost. In addition, since the control inputs are mounted on the monitor, it is necessary for the user to reach to the monitor, sometimes to different locations around its case, to find the proper control switches of the monitor to operate the switches when the adjustment of any one of the display contrast, brightness, position, size, tint, color balance, focus, degauss, video cutoff, video gain, tilt, parallelogram, and trapezoid distortion is required. Moreover, since the control inputs are mounted on the monitor with a limited number of control switches, it is impossible for the user to control all the monitor functions sometimes.
Refer now to FIG. 2 which illustrates a novel monitor control device incorporated in a CRT-type of monitor as constructed according to the principles of the present invention. The novel monitor control device as incorporated in a CRT-type of monitor is connected to a host computer through a video cable (e.g., VGA cable) to receive two types of signals, one of which is a composite red (R) color signal mixed with a clock signal, and the other of which is a composite blue (B) color signal mixed with a control information signal. When monitor control information for the monitor is input into the host computer by the user, the clock and the control information signals are provided from the host computer and used as a monitor control signal in the monitor. The monitor control device then extracts the clock and the control information signals from the composite signals by way of a signal extracting circuit 50 to provide the extracted signals to a microcontroller 60. The microcontroller 60 then controls all kinds of monitor functions in response to the extracted signals.
As shown in FIG. 2, the monitor control device receives R, G (green) and B color signals, and horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals H-Sync and V-Sync from the video cable. The monitor function adjusting circuit 20 includes a horizontal & vertical deflection circuit 21 for adjusting horizontal and vertical deflection of a CRT 10, a degauss circuit 22 for eliminating the remaining magnetic field on the CRT 10, a video amplifier 23 for amplifying the R, G and B-color signals, respectively, a video and on-screen display (OSD) mixer 24 for mixing the amplified color signals and an OSD information signal to generate mixed signals, and a video cut-off circuit 25 for adjusting direct current (DC) levels of the mixed signals from the video & OSD mixer 24.
The horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals H-Sync and V-Sync received from the video cable are provided to a polarity converter 30 and then conversely changed in polarity by way of the polarity converter 30. Two composite color signals, for example, composite R and B color signals, of the color signals received from the video cable are applied to the bias adjusting circuit 40 for adjustment to zero voltage by a DC bias voltage provided by the bias adjusting circuit 40. The bias adjusted composite R and B-color signals are applied to the signal extracting circuit 50 so that clock signal CLKI and control information signal DATA are extracted from the bias adjusting composite R and B color signals, respectively.
FIG. 3 illustrates a detailed circuit diagram of the bias adjusting circuit 40 and the signal extracting circuit 50 of the monitor control device as shown in FIG. 2. The bias adjusting circuit 40 includes two adjusting circuit portions having the same construction, one of which is provided to adjust the DC bias voltage of the composite R-color signal to zero voltage, and the other of which is provided to adjust the DC bias voltage of the composite B-color signal to zero voltage. Each of the two adjusting circuit portions includes resistance-capacitance (RC) circuit each desirably having one capacitor C1 (or C2), and two resistors R1 and R2 (or R3 and R4). The two resistors R1 and R2 (or R3 and R4) are serially connected between a voltage source V1 and a ground.
Separately, the signal extracting circuit 50 includes two extracting circuit portions having the same construction, one of which is provided to extract the clock signal CLK1 from the bias adjusted composite R-color signal, and the other to extract the control information signal DATA from the bias adjusted composite B-color signal. Each of the extracting circuit portions has one comparator 51 (or 52) and two resistors R5 and (or R7 and R8) (or R7 and R8). The two resistors R5 and R6 are serially connected between another voltage source V2 and the ground to generate a reference voltage. The bias adjusted composite R-color signal and the reference voltage are compared with each other by way of a first comparator 51, so that the clock signal CLK1 contained in the composite R-color signal can be extracted. Additionally, the bias adjusted composite B-color signal and the reference voltage applied from the connection of the resistors R7 and R8 are compared with each other by way of a second comparator 52, so that the control information signal DATA contained in the composite B-color signal can be extracted.
In the meantime, the control information signal DATA is made of, for example, four byte signals as depicted below.
TABLE 1______________________________________1st Byte 2nd Byte     3rd Byte  4th Byte______________________________________start code    control code control value                           check sum______________________________________
As can seen from Table 1, the first byte represents a start code that is indicative of the start portion of the control information signal DATA. The second byte represents a control code indicative of a control item. The third byte is indicative of a control value and the fourth byte represents a check sum that is indicative of whether control code and control value are valid.
The control code is designated in the form of Table 2, as depicted below, depending on the control item as shown in Table 2 below.
TABLE 2______________________________________adjusting item     hexadecimal code                 adjusting item                            hexadecimal code______________________________________horizontal     10          vertical focus                            26positionhorizontal size     12          horizontal 28                 conversionvertical position     14          R-cut off  30vertical size     16          G-cut off  32side pincushion     18          B-cut off  34trapezoid 1A          R-gain     36distortionparallel degree     1C          G-gain     38pin balance     1E          B-gain     40tilt      20          contrast   42vertical linearity     22          brightness 44horizontal focus     24______________________________________
For example, in case of adjustment of, for example, a horizontal position of monitor control functions, the control code is 10 of hexadecimal digit, and in case of adjustment of a horizontal size is 12 of hexadecimal digit. Similarly, in case of adjustment of a picture contrast or a picture brightness, the control code is either 42 or 44 of hexadecimal digit
The microcontroller 60 receives the control signal CLK1 and the control information signal DATA when the level of the V-Sync signal is transited. If the check sum of the control information signal DATA is valid, the microcontroller 60 generates a clock signal CLK2 and monitor control signals FCS1-FCS5 in response to the clock signal CLK1 and the control information signal DATA. The signals from the microcontroller 60 are provided to the monitor function adjusting circuit 20.
The operation of the microcontroller 60 will now be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 and 5 hereinbelow.
First, the microcontroller 60 detects the leading edge of the vertical synchronizing V-Sync signal from the polarity converter 30 at step S101. If the leading edge of the vertical synchronizing V-Sync signal is detected, the controller 60 proceeds to step S102 to start counting the pulse number of the clock signal CLK1 extracted from the composite R-color signal at the leading edge of the V-Sync signal as shown in FIG. 5. At this point, the microcontroller 60 recognizes only four pulses as a valid pulse signal. During a period of this four pulses, the controller 60 receives the control information signal DATA, which is extracted from the composite B-color signal, in synchronization with the clock signal CLK1, as shown in FIG. 5.
As stated above, during the presence of the two V-Sync signals continued thus, the controller 60 receives the control information signal of one byte which is indicative of a start code thereof. At step S103, the controller 60 compares whether the start code is identical with a preset comparison signal. If the start code is identical with the preset comparison signal, the controller 60 proceeds to step S104 to receive the control information signal of three bytes, more specifically, a control code, a control value and a check sum as in the above described manner. If the start code is not identical with the preset comparison signal, the controller 60 proceeds to step S105 to neglect the control information signal of one byte and returns to step S101.
After the controller 60 receives the control information signal of three bytes, including a control code, a control value and a check sum at step S104, the controller 60 determines whether the control code and the control value are valid on the basis of the check sum at step S106. If the control code and the control value are valid, the controller 60 recognizes the control code at step S107 and then generates, at step S108 in response to the control code, corresponding clock and the monitor control signals CLK2 and FCS1-FCS5 which are provided to adjust the monitor control functions. The monitor function adjusting circuit 20 receives the clock and the monitor control signals CLK2 and FCS1-FCS5 to adjust the monitor control functions as described by Table 2.
If the control code and the control value are invalid at step S106 the controller 60 proceeds to step S105 to neglect the control information signal of three bytes and subsequently returns to step S101. As described in an example above, it is noted that a clock signal and a control information signal from the host computer are mixed with R and B-color signals, respectively. However, the signals from the host computer can be mixed with any two color signals of R, G and B-color signals, respectively. In addition, the V-Sync and H-Sync signals can be mixed with each other, or with at least one of the R, G and B-color signals. In this case, the monitor control device as constructed according to the present invention requires a circuit for extracting the V-Sync and the H-Sync signals from a composite signal.
As described above, the monitor control device incorporated into the CRT-type of monitor as constructed according to the principles of the present invention advantageously allows the user to adjust monitor control functions by way of a control information signal from a host computer connected to the CRT-type of monitor via a video cable. As a result, the monitor control device does not need an RS232C interface circuit and an RS232C cable between the monitor and the host computer. In addition, it is now possible for the user to conveniently adjust a variety of monitor control functions from the host computer without having to manually access to control inputs of the monitor.
While there have been illustrated and described what are considered to be preferred embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made, and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the true scope of the present invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation to the teaching of the present invention without departing from the central scope thereof Therefore, it is intended that the present invention not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out the present invention, but that the present invention includes all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.
