A method of performing bilateral filtering and using the method for displaying high-dynamic-range images is presented. The method reduces the contrast of the image while preserving detail of the image. The presently disclosed method incorporates a two-scale decomposition of the image into a base layer encoding large-scale variations, and a detail layer. The base layer has its contrast reduced, thereby preserving detail. The base layer is obtained using an edge-preserving bilateral filter. The bilateral filter is a non-linear filter, where the weight of each pixel is computed using a Gaussian in the spatial domain multiplied by an influence function in the intensity domain that decreases the weight of pixels with large intensity differences. The bilateral filtering is accelerated by using a piecewise-linear approximation in the intensity domain and appropriate subsampling.

An additive layer manufacture (ALM) machine generates a first electron beam for selectively melting a layer of metal powder, and a second electron beam for detecting defects in the selectively melted layer once it has solidified. The second electron beam has a lower power than the first electron beam so as to be used to identify any defects without performing further melting. If any defects are detected, they can be removed, for example by re-melting, before the next layer of powder is supplied. The process may be repeated to generate a finished component with good mechanical properties.

Many speakers, especially small speakers are susceptible to distortion if too much power is applied in certain vulnerable frequency bands. The distortion can be prevented by applying equalization to the audio signal driving the speaker. An equalizer can be configured to suppress the audio signal in the vulnerable frequency bands. The equalizer monitors the power in the vulnerable frequency bands and suppresses those vulnerable frequency bands only when they have sufficient power to distort. In this fashion, undesired audio effects due to the equalization can be avoided.

The invention relates to a lighting apparatus comprising a laser (102) for emitting a first laser beam (103) and a diffractive reflective element (104). The first laser beam (103) is reflected by the diffractive reflective element (104) for generating a second laser beam (105) being the reflected first laser beam, wherein the diffractive reflective element (104) is adapted such that the effective surface area of the second laser beam (105) is larger than the effective surface area of the first laser beam (103). The second laser beam is supposed to be pointed directly or indirectly to the eyes of a person. Since the diffractive reflective element increases the effective surface area and is used in a reflective mode, i.e. the first laser beam will generally not directly meet the eye of the person, if the diffractive reflective element is damaged or displaced, the risk of eye damages can be reduced.
