Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus, for an interactive system including a display region, arranged to detect the position of a contact point on the display region.

Abstract: A projection television lens and CRT assembly includes a lens mount with at least one optical lens element mounted therein and a focus mount connected to the lens mount. A CRT coupler is operatively coupled to the focus mount. A clamp plate and at least first and second spring plates are used to secure a CRT to the CRT coupler.

Abstract: Three dimensional configurations of a portion of an object (12), such as a patient's tooth, are determined using intensity patterns produced by a projection unit (20) and detected by a sensor unit (22). In some embodiments, the intensity patterns are produced using a set of slides (16A,16B,16C), e.g., a set of photographic slides, while in others they are produced using a transmissive liquid crystal device (60) or a single slide (16) which is moved by a piezoelectric translator (64). Methods and apparatus for reducing the effects of ambient light are also disclosed.

Abstract: A lens assembly adapted to be connected to a CRT and affixed to mounting structure in a projection television cabinet. The lens assembly includes a tubular lens mount having a longitudinal axis and at least a first optical lens element mounted along the longitudinal axis. A tubular focus mount extends along the longitudinal axis and fastening and locking structure connects the lens mount to the focus mount after a focus mount position is obtained. A CRT coupler is formed integrally with the focus mount and includes structure for securing a CRT and for securing the coupler to the mounting structure within the television cabinet. A second optical lens element is mounted to the CRT coupler. A flexible bladder may be used to contain coolant fluid between the CRT and the coupler. A flange may be provided to set a Scheimpflug angle between the CRT and the coupler.
