A 3D image is created by using two digital projectors having overlapping projection regions. The two digital projectors both emit polarized light, and one are arranged at different angles to each other, such that individual images projected from respective digital projectors can be discerned by the use of polarized eyeglasses. Individualized light transport matrices are used to coordinate together the two digital projectors.

A projection system uses a transformation matrix to transform a projection image p in such a manner so as to compensate for surface irregularities on a projection surface. The transformation matrix makes use of properties of light transport relating a projector to a camera. If the resolution a camera is lower than that of a projector within said projection system, then the transformation matrix will have holes where image data corresponding to a projector pixel will have been lost. In this, case, new image are generated to fill-in the holes.

Organic electroluminescent devices having improved light extraction include a light-scattering medium disposed adjacent thereto. The light-scattering medium has a light scattering anisotropy parameter g in the range from greater than zero to about 0.99, and a scatterance parameter S less than about 0.22 or greater than about 3.

The present invention provides an intertial-type voice actuator that includes a magnetic flux conductive material core with a continuous channel. The channel has antifringing groove. The actuator employs a radially polarized cylindrical magnet spaced in the channel to form a magnetic gap and a conductive coil positioned at least partially in the gap. A multi-component suspension system provides high quality sound using an antifriction bearing, a viscous magnetic fluid, and a spider suspension. The inertial-type actuator is completed by an integrated mounting apparatus. In one embodiment, a receiver and an output disk are interlocked by helical wedges and the actuator is mounted on a soundboard. In another embodiment, a special receiving cavity is attached to a wall stud for intrawall installation. The cavity is equipped with longitudinal electrical contacts so that the actuator can move and still be connected. After the actuator is inserted, the wall covering is installed.

A light emitting device is provided having high luminous output while maintaining high wall plug efficiency, wherein the high thermal and electrical conductivity paths of the device are separated during the semiconductor wafer and die level manufacturing step. The device includes an electrical conducting mirror layer, which reflects at least 60% of generated light incident on it, and an isolation layer having electrical insulating properties and thermal conducting properties. A first electrode, which is not in contact with the main semiconductor layers of the device, is located on the mirror layer. A light emitting module, system and projection system incorporating the light emitting device are also described, as is a method of manufacture of the device.

A method and system for compensating for a moving object placed between a projector and a projection scene is shown. The method/system dividing a movement pattern of the moving object into N discrete position states, and for each of said N position states determining a corresponding view projection matrix. While projecting an image within any of the N position states, multiplying a desired projection image by the corresponding view projection matrix.

A liquid crystal 1 includes a pair of substrates 7a and 7b which hold a liquid crystal L therebetween, a light guide 4 provided opposite to one of the substrates, a FPC 3a connected to one of the substrates 7a and 7b, and a LED 21 provided opposite to a light receiving surface 4a of the light guide 4. The LED 21 is mounted on the FPC 3a and arranged opposite to the light receiving surface 4a of the light guide 4. The LED 21 is preferably positioned relative to the light guide 4 by engagement between the pines provided on the LED 21 and the recesses 31 provided on the light guide 4.

Disclosed are embodiments of systems and methods for identifying features using color information in an image. The image may be formed from one or more display images comprising color information and features or feature components. Because color information may be used to identify features, more than one feature or feature component may be displayed in a display image. Because a plurality of features may be identified in a calibration image, an image system, such as a projector-camera system, can reduce the number of display images needed to calibrate the system.

A light source sequentially emits lights generated by at least three light emitting elements each emitting a different primary color to generate an image. Each light emitting element has a duty cycle in a lighting period, which may be an image frame period. A sequence scheme is provided for alternatingly driving different ones of the light emitting elements. The light emitting elements are driven in accordance with the sequence scheme at least two times in the lighting period, while maintaining the duty cycle for each light emitting element. In the sequence scheme, at least one light emitting element having the highest temperature sensitivity of all light emitting elements is driven more times than another one.

A precision light source, such as a laser, controlled by the operation of a garage door opener to generate a light beam to provide a reference mark for guiding a user in parking a vehicle. One embodiment teaches powering the unit from the light activation circuitry of the garage door opener directly, or using a bulb connection base having an auxiliary light socket. Further improvements include the use of an aiming device providing dimensional adjustment of the light beam to move the distal reference point created when the light beam intersects the vehicle. A method for use of the apparatus is also taught.

A single-winding multi-stage expander comprises a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll which revolves eccentrically with respect to the fixed scroll so as to pressurize a sealed chamber formed between the two scrolls to drive a crankshaft. A high-temperature pressurized gas is introduced into a first-stage inner division and sent to an external heater. The heated gas is sent back to a second-stage outer division of the expander to significantly increase efficiency thereof.

A football goalpost that can be used at various times by both high school and college teams by adjusting the spacing of the uprights. The goalpost has the ability to adjust the verticality of the uprights by rotation of the uprights about the crossbar axis. The goalpost has the ability to adjust the side-to-side tilt and front-to-back tilt of the gooseneck by adjusting the gooseneck to sleeve connection. The goalpost also has the ability to adjust the horizontality of the crossbar by rotation of the crossbar about the gooseneck horizontal axis. In addition, the goalpost has a vertical gooseneck with incorporated height adjustment to be used for either real turf, or artificial turf.
