Further, rare earths are magnetic and thus not suitable for all applications. The present heat-storing medium for a very low temperature range is composed of a set (22) of pourable and gastight sealed hollow bodies (30). Each hollow body (30) contains a fill (34) of a low-boiling gas as a storing medium. The hollow body wall (32) is made of metal or ceramic. Thus a relatively inexpensive heat-storing medium is provided whose physical, chemical, magnetic and mechanical properties can be adapted to the respective use by corresponding material selection.

| Organic light emitting diode (oled) backlight | 20060187378 | 20060824 |
| The present invention is directed to the use of a plurality of OLED displays and a diffuser to form a display backlight. Such a backlight can be used as an AMLCD backlight. The OLED displays can support NVIS compatibility by reducing current provided to red sub-pixels, and by limiting transmission of light beyond 630 nm, possibly by material selection or filtering using thin film optical coatings.

| Electro-magnetically enhanced current interrupter | 20060119996 | 20060608 |
| The present invention provides an apparatus and method of interrupting the current in a circuit wherein the magnetic pressure induced by current flow through a conductor causes the conductor to flow and thereby open the associated circuit. Magnetic pressure may be derived from Lorenz equations. Gravity is not relied upon to cause the conductor material to flow. The invention may be used in circuits having high currents relative to conductor size and material selection.
