  • Patent number: 11089031
    Abstract: Methods for switchable matrix barcodes for secure website access is described herein. In one aspect, a method of accessing a secure webpage by a user device can include scanning a first switchable matrix barcode by the user device; identifying a first URL sequence unique to the first switchable matrix barcode based on a deconstruction of the first switchable matrix bar code; and accessing a webpage corresponding to the first URL sequence based at least on whether the accessing occurs within a predefined expiration period of the first URL sequence.

  • Publication number: 20210146570
    Abstract: In one or more arrangements, a stationary cross cut system includes a base having an upper surface configured to receive a workpiece during a cutting operation. The system also includes first and second extendable support wings connected to the base. When extended, the first support wing supports a workpiece that extends past the first side of the base and the second support supports a workpiece that extends past the second side of the base. In some arrangements, the base includes first and second fences and is configured to receive the workpiece between the first and second fences. In some arrangements, the system also includes a first rail extending between the first fence and the second fence and a second rail extending between the first fence and the second fence. The first rail and second rail are configured to receive and guide a cutting tool during the cutting operation.

  • Publication number: 20170122725
    Abstract: Examples of a light field metrology system for use with a display are disclosed. The light field metrology may capture images of a projected light field, and determine focus depths (or lateral focus positions) for various regions of the light field using the captured images. The determined focus depths (or lateral positions) may then be compared with intended focus depths (or lateral positions), to quantify the imperfections of the display. Based on the measured imperfections, an appropriate error correction may be performed on the light field to correct for the measured imperfections. The display can be an optical display element in a head mounted display, for example, an optical display element capable of generating multiple depth planes or a light field display.

  • Patent number: 8053147
    Abstract: High performance media suitable for recording with a blue laser is disclosed. The blue-sensitized holographic media provides greater dynamic range and higher sensitivity than previously disclosed blue-sensitized holographic media. These media can be used for diverse applications such as data storage where the articles provide denser data storage and more rapid hologram writing times or for optical waveguides where the articles provide greater optical confinement and more rapid manufacturing times.

  • Publication number: 20070201648
    Abstract: A method for attributing costs for a telephone call in an SS7 network. Information associated with the telephone call is captured and retained when the telephone call is provided to a call recipient by a second carrier that is a UNE-P lessee of a first carrier. The captured information is stored when including a CNAM query. The CNAM query is associated with the second carrier and reflected in an updated record containing the total volume of CNAM queries handled by the first carrier for the second carrier.
