Controllable waveguide for near-eye display applications
ActiveUS20140300966A1Enhance qualityExpand view areaProjectorsHolographic light sources/light beam propertiesNear eye displayVirtual image
A near-eye display includes an image generator that generates angularly related beams over a range of angles for forming a virtual image and a waveguide that propagates the angularly related beams over a limited range of angles. An input aperture of the waveguide includes a plurality of controllable components that are selectively operable as diffractive optics for injecting subsets of the angularly related beams into the waveguide. An output aperture of the waveguide includes a plurality of controllable components that selectively operable as diffractive optics for ejecting corresponding subsets of the angularly related beams out of the waveguide toward an eyebox. A controller synchronizes operation of the controllable components of the output aperture with the propagation of different subsets of angularly related beams along the waveguide for ejecting the subsets of angularly related beams out of the waveguide for presenting the virtual image within the eyebox.

Micro-endoscopic system
InactiveUS6561973B1Efficient and cost effective constructionEnhance qualitySurgeryEndoscopesSensor arrayLight source
A micro-endoscopic system employs a pulsed xenon light source and image collection optics with a fine diameter optical probe for an endoscope. Very bright pulses of light emitted by a xenon flash tube increase the intensity of light incident on the light transmitting optics, allowing a reduction in size of the optical components, resulting in a corresponding reduction in the size of the optical probe. A segmented glass image guide directs the reflected light to a sensor array. Segmentation of the image guide avoids the stress related problems associated with fine diameter glass optical structures.

Phase excited linear prediction encoder
A low bit rate phase excited linear prediction type speech encoder filters a speech signal to limit its bandwidth and then fragments the filtered speech signal into speech segments. The speech segments are decomposed into a spectral envelope and an LP residual signal. The spectral envelope is represented by LP filter coefficients. The LP filter coefficients are converted into line spectral frequencies (LSF). Each speech segment is also classified as one of a voiced segment and an unvoiced segment based on a pitch of the segment. Parameters are extracted from the LP residual signal, where for an unvoiced segment the extracted parameters include pitch and gain and for a voiced segment the extracted parameters include pitch, gain and excitation level. The extracted parameters are then quantized.
