Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090052838Electrically controlled optical elements and method - The configuration of an optical system can be electronically controlled using switchable wave plates in conjunction with polarized light.02-26-2009
20090185030Multi-Person Stereo Display System - The multi-person stereo display system permits several independent viewers to see different stereo images on a single projection surface. This is accomplished through the innovative use of video multiplexing, software, control electronics, and special viewing glasses. The system is particularly useful in situations where the viewers see computer generated images from their own independent perspectives.07-23-2009
20100002288Electrically Controlled Optical Elements and Method - The effective focal length of an optical system can be electronically controlled using switchable wave plates in conjunction with polarized light.01-07-2010
20100067573Interface for Fast Pattern Projection - A method for projecting sequences of images from a standard digital source by packing the binary bit planes of an image is conveyed. The method enables 24× frame rates from a standard source using standard electrical interfaces.03-18-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080297593Rendering for an Interactive 360 Degree Light Field Display - An interactive, autostereoscopic system for displaying an object in 3D includes a mirror configured to spin around a vertical axis when actuated by a motor, a high speed video projector, and a processing system including a graphics card interfaced to the video projector. An anisotropic reflector is bonded onto an inclined surface of the mirror. The video projector projects video signals of the object from the projector onto the inclined surface of the mirror while the mirror is spinning, so that light rays representing the video signals are redirected toward a field of view of a 360 degree range. The processing system renders the redirected light rays so as to interactively generate a horizontal-parallax 3D display of the object. Vertical parallax can be included in the display by adjusting vertically the displayed views of the object, in response to tracking of viewer motion by a tracking system.12-04-2008

20110176070Rear Projection Imaging System with Image Warping Distortion Correction System and Associated Method - A rear projection imaging system with an image warping distortion correction system using a camera and processing unit to generate a warping map that corrects for image distortion. The warping map is generated in an iterative process by displaying a known pattern on a viewing screen and, through the use of a camera, having a microprocessor determine the location and shape of the pattern on the screen. The microprocessor then compares the displayed image to the original reference image, calculates the distortion effects present in the projection optics, and generates a warping map.07-21-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100194147VEHICLE ROOF SUPPORT PILLAR ASSEMBLY - A vehicle roof support pillar assembly may include a first support pillar and a second support pillar. The first support pillar may have a first hollow body with a first side surface. The second support pillar may have a second hollow body with a second side surface, the second support pillar may be positioned next to the first hollow body when assembled and in use. The first and second side surfaces may contact each other along at least a portion of their vertical extent.08-05-2010
