  • Publication number: 20240073378
    Abstract: A projection apparatus including a light source module, an eccentric-collimating lens, a prism lens group, a light valve and a projection lens is provided. The light source module is configured to provide an illumination light beam. The eccentric-collimating lens is disposed between the light sources and the light valve on a transmission path of the illumination light beam. The light valve is configured to convert the illumination light beam into an image light beam. The projection lens is configured to project the image light beam out of the projection apparatus. A first included angle between a first transmission direction of the illumination light beam incident on the eccentric-collimating lens and a central axis of the eccentric-collimating lens is greater than 0. The first transmission direction and a second transmission direction of the image beam exiting from the light valve are perpendicular to each other.

  • Publication number: 20240069425
    Abstract: An illumination system including two light source modules, two light guiding modules, a first reflector, and a light homogenization element is provided. The two light guiding modules are respectively disposed on transmission paths of light beams generated by the two light source modules to generate two guiding light beams. One of the guiding light beams is reflected to the light homogenization element by the first reflector. The other of the guiding light beams is directly transmitted to the light homogenization element. The guiding light beams are emitted from the light homogenization element and form an illumination light beam. A projection apparatus is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10354380
    Abstract: A method to characterize shape variations in brain ventricles during embryonic growth in mammals, the method including extracting a brain ventricle skeleton from one or more images, calculating a volume profile for the skeleton using the extracted images, partitioning the brain ventricle based on the volume profile along the skeleton, the brain ventricle being partitioned into two lateral ventricles and a main ventricle, the main ventricle being further partitioned into three sub regions, determining volume vectors of the two lateral ventricles and the three sub regions, computing a means square error between the determined computed volume vectors and a pretrained mean volume vector of embryos during different gestational stages, and classifying the embryo to the gestational stage having the lowest mean square error.

  • Patent number: 10157466
    Abstract: A method to segment images that contain multiple objects in a nested structure including acquiring an image; defining the multiple objects by layers, each layer corresponding to one region, where a region contains an innermost object and all the objects nested within the innermost object; stacking the layers in an order of the nested structure of the multiple objects, the stack of layers having at least a top layer and a bottom layer; extending each layer with padded nodes; connecting the top layer to a sink and the bottom layer to a source, wherein each intermediate layer between the top layer and the bottom layer are connected only to the adjacent layer by undirected links; and measuring a boundary length for each layer.

  • Publication number: 20150121271
    Abstract: A method of managing icons is used on a screen of an electronic device which displays a first icon and a second icon. While dragging the first icon, the first and second icons are displayed on a first region of the screen and a group symbol is displayed on a second region of the screen. The first icon is dragged onto the group symbol and then released for creating a new group which contains the first icon. A group icon associated with the new group is then displayed on the second region of the screen.

  • Patent number: 5296643
    Abstract: A system and method for control of so-called KARAOKE equipment whereby the musical key of the pre-recorded accompaniment music may be altered automatically to substantially coincide with the analyzed or given vocal range of the singer, for example, soprano, tenor, mezzo-soprano, baritone, alto or bass, or with the preferred key to be sung entered by the singer, for example, E key, so as to eliminate the trial-and-error manual key adjustments during singing.
