  • Publication number: 20100225057
    Abstract: A three-dimensional puzzle which forms a regular polyhedron and has not conventionally existed is realized. In addition, a three-dimensional puzzle which realizes a Fedrov space filling solid and has not conventionally existed is realized. According to the invention, a three-dimensional puzzle is provided having a regular polyhedron consisting of a plurality of convex polyhedrons which fill an interior of the regular polyhedron comprising the plurality of convex polyhedrons having a plurality of a pair of convex polyhedrons in a mirroring image relationship, wherein the plurality of convex polyhedrons are indivisible into two or more congruent shaped polyhedrons. In addition, the plurality of convex polyhedrons may be four convex polyhedrons and include three pairs of convex polyhedrons in a mirroring image relationship. Further the plurality of convex polyhedrons may be five convex polyhedrons and include four pairs of convex polyhedrons in a mirroring image relationship.

  • Patent number: 4143937
    Abstract: A phase shifter for adding a deterministic phase to an original information to be recorded in hologram. The phase shifter consists of a number of unit cells arranged in a matrix. A set of the unit cells are provided which will cause a certain phase shift to a light passing through each kind of the unit cells so as to distribute the light irradiance of the original information more evenly over the Fourier transformed plane. The invention suggests a solution to make the phase shifter with the unit cells arranged by the deterministic phase distribution.
