20140028673 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING POLYCUBES AND ALL-HEXAHEDRAL MESHES OF AN OBJECT - A method for generating a polycube representation of an input object comprises: receiving an input volumetric representation of the input object; deforming the input volumetric representation to provide a deformed object representation; and extracting, by the processor, a polycube representation of the object from the deformed object representation. Deforming the input volumetric representation to provide the deformed object representation comprises effecting a tradeoff between competing objectives of: deforming the input volumetric representation in a manner which provides surfaces having normal vectors closely aligned with one of the six directions aligned with the set of global Cartesian axes; and deforming the input volumetric representation in a manner which provides low-distortion deformations. Deforming the input volumetric representation to provide the deformed object may be performed iteratively. | 01-30-2014 |
20150035880 | Methods and Apparatus for Visual Display - In exemplary implementations of this invention, light from a backlight is transmitted through two stacked LCDs and then through a diffuser. The front side of the diffuser displays a time-varying sequence of 2D images. Processors execute an optimization algorithm to compute optimal pixel states in the first and second LCDs, respectively, such that for each respective image in the sequence, the optimal pixel states minimize, subject to one or more constraints, a difference between a target image and the respective image. The processors output signals to control actual pixel states in the LCDs, based on the computed optimal pixel states. The 2D images displayed by the diffuser have a higher spatial resolution than the native spatial resolution of the LCDs. Alternatively, the diffuser may be switched off, and the device may display either (a) 2D images with a higher dynamic range than the LCDs, or (b) an automultiscopic display. | 02-05-2015 |

20080287819 | Method and System for High-Resolution Extraction of Quasi-Periodic Signals - A quasi-periodic signal with high signal-to-noise ratio containing signal features that exhibit poor temporal localization is processed to identify waveform temporal reference points that are used to provide the temporal reference points for extracting a representative waveform of a signal feature having high temporal localization in a second, related, quasi-periodic signal that has low signal-to-noise ratio. The resulting representative waveform exhibits much improved signal-to-noise ratio while preserving the temporal detail contained in the second, related, quasi-periodic signal. | 11-20-2008 |
