  • Publication number: 20210299289
    Abstract: According to some aspects, there is provided a method of selectively inactivating viruses through acoustic resonance by non-ionizing gigahertz electromagnetic radiation. In some implementations, there is provided an apparatus comprising a power processing unit; a microwave source; an antenna; a control unit; wherein the spatial and temporal characteristics of the electromagnetic field are optimized to maximize viral inactivation at the target location while minimizing overall radiation exposure. Methods of delivering high peak energy into the virus structure with minimal total average power are also provided.

  • Patent number: 6593957
    Abstract: Autostereoscopic image displays provide highly realistic three-dimensional images to one or a plurality of viewers without the need for wearable appliances. In some embodiments, the images are viewed through a beamsplitter, while in other embodiments the viewer observes the images on a display screen. A viewer-tracking system monitors the viewer's movements and directs each image of a stereopair to the proper eye of the viewer. In some embodiments, the stereoimages are kept independent and separately directed through differential polarization. In other embodiments, this is accomplished through selective intensity modulation.
