Exaclty right. That's the way the judges interpreted it in (specific example) Buckeye. I'm sure that everybody's ok with what we did since the interesting concept to get the messy varying system voltage to something useful for consistent display intensity was part of what intrigued judges for the GM Industrial Design award about our display.
