Abstract: A spatial light modulation device includes a phase-modulation type spatial light modulator, a temperature sensor detecting a temperature of the spatial light modulator, and a control unit providing a drive signal to the spatial light modulator. The control unit has a storage unit. The storage unit stores N correction patterns created so as to correspond to N (N is an integer not less than 2) temperature values of the spatial light modulator in order to correct phase distortion of the spatial light modulator. The control unit selects one correction pattern according to a temperature value of the spatial light modulator, and generates the drive signal based on a phase pattern created by adding the one correction pattern to a desired phase pattern. Thereby, it becomes possible to suppress phase distortion according to a temperature change while suppressing a delay in operation.

Abstract: A radius parameter may be included with mapping data requests resulting from “longpress” fingertip selection actions on client computing devices including touch screen display interfaces. The radius parameter may be based on the approximate size of a user's finger in pixels. Based on a current zoom level and/or altitude and a latitude, the radius may be used with a finger tip size to determine how far away a location on the screen from the finger tip center is. A remote mapping server may use the radius as a distance limit for performing a snapping action. For example, if the best candidate for a feature snap is outside the range of the longpress radius, then the feature snap may be abandoned, and the remote mapping server returns a dropped pin response to the client. The user may then customize the dropped pin for sharing or other actions.
