Luminescence shock avoidance in display devices

ActiveUS20080165203A1Reduced brightness valueLuminescence shock can be avoidedCathode-ray tube indicatorsInput/output processes for data processingShock avoidanceAmbient lighting
A luminescence shock avoidance algorithm is disclosed to selectively limit the brightness level of a display device when the display device is activated in a dark environment to prevent the temporary vision impairment that can occur when a display device is activated in a dark environment. The algorithm receives the state of the display (e.g. on or in standby mode), and can optionally receive an ambient lighting value from an ambient light sensor and a user-selectable manual brightness adjustment setting to determine whether luminescence shock avoidance should even be triggered, and if it is triggered, how much should the brightness level of the display be limited.

InactiveUS20060055878A1High efficiencyCorrect visionGogglesNon-optical adjunctsPrescription eyeglassesEngineering
An apparatus and method for preventing ocular surface abnormalities. This apparatus includes a frame containing at least one lens and at least one seal. The frame, lens, and seal provide an area about the eyes of a user that is at least partially enclosed from a surrounding environment when worn. Humidity and temperature are increased in the area about the eyes of the user to provide a microenvironment in the area about the eyes of the user. The microenvironment is capable of reducing or preventing ocular surface abnormalities, alleviating ocular discomfort, and improving ocular health. The seal may be removable and may attach to prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, and so on. The seal may also contain a filter, such as a HEPA filter.

System and method for performing vision system planar hand-eye calibration from straight line features

This invention provides a system and method for hand-eye calibration of a vision system using an object under manufacture having at least one feature. The feature can be a linear feature and the object moves in at least one degree of freedom in translation or rotation on a motion stage. The system further comprises at least a first vision system camera and vision processor. The first vision system camera is arranged to acquire an image of the first linear feature on the object under manufacture and to track motion of the first linear feature in response to moving of the motion stage in at least one degree of translation. The first linear feature is identified in at least two different positions along a plane. The system computes a mapping between pixel positions in a pixel coordinate system of the first camera and physical positions in a motion coordinate system based upon locations of the at least two positions.
