Patent number: 10569183Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an information processing system. The system includes at least two toy battle devices and control devices corresponding to the toy battle devices. A first control device is configured to send attack information to a first toy battle device. The first toy battle device is configured to modulate the attack information into a laser signal, and emit the laser signal. A second toy battle device is configured to receive the laser signal by using a laser receiving component, and obtain the attack information by demodulating the laser signal by using a demodulation circuit; and send the attack information to a second control device; determine an attacked status of the second toy battle device according to the attack information; and send a feedback instruction to the second toy battle device, the feedback instruction indicating the attacked status of the second toy battle device.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: TENCENT TECHNOLOGY (SHENZHEN) COMPANY LIMITEDInventors: Ming Zhao, Yong Yang, Sixi Lu, Yanqing Jing

Patent number: 8654264Abstract: Laser projection system suitable for commercial motion picture theaters and other large screen venues, including home theater, uses optical fibers to project modulated laser beams for simultaneously raster scanning multiple lines on screen. Emitting ends of optical fibers are arranged in an array such that red, green and blue spots are simultaneously scanned onto the screen in multiple lines spaced one or more scan lines apart. Use of optical fibers enables scanning of small, high resolution spots on screen, and permits convenient packaging and replacement, upgrading or modification of system components. Simultaneous raster scanning of multiple lines enables higher resolution, brightness, and frame rates with available economical components. Fiber-based beam coupling may be used to greatly enhance the flexibility of the system.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2006Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Magic Lantern, LLCInventors: John P. Callison, Jeffrey S. Pease, Richard W. Pease

Patent number: 8305439Abstract: A surveillance camera that includes a device for capturing video signals and that converts the video signals to optical signals. The surveillance camera has a first component with a first aperture and a second component with a second aperture. The second component engages the first component such that the first component rotates relative to the second component. The surveillance camera has a first optical component that extends through the first aperture of the first component. The surveillance camera also has a second optical component that extends through the second aperture of the second component. The first optical component is separated from the second optical component by a gap. The first optical component is operatively connected to the device. The first optical component receives the optical signals and transmits the optical signals to the second optical component across the gap to permit a continuous rotation of the first component relative to the second component.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2008Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: WeiCheng Cheng, Hao Wang, Xin Xu

Publication number: 20040071330Abstract: An apparatus images a surface. An imager stage linearly translates the surface in a first direction. A fiber optic bundle has a first end of parallel first fiber ends defining a linear input aperture perpendicular to the first direction and parallel to the surface, and a second end defining a generally circular output aperture. Each first fiber end optically communicates with the output aperture. A radiation beam linearly scans and interacts with the surface below the input aperture to produce a light signal that is collected by the input aperture and transmitted by the fiber bundle to the output aperture. A photodetector detects the light signal at the output aperture. A processor processes the detected light.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2002Publication date: April 15, 2004Applicant: Xerox CorporationInventor: Douglas N. Curry

Patent number: 5784098Abstract: N lines of line-shaped light are projected onto the object by means of a measuring light projecting lens. The light carrying the image of the object is passed through the eyepiece lens 17 in an endoscope 6 and the auxiliary lens 30 in a measuring head 11 and split into two beamlets by a beam splitter 31, with one beamlet being focused at a position coinciding with the entrance end faces of measuring light's position detecting fibers 33(l) to 33(m). The line-shaped light images of the object thus formed in positions coinciding with the entrance end faces of measuring light's position detecting fibers 33(l) to 33(m) are scanned linearly by those linearly aligned fibers as they are oscillated and driven by a fiber scanner 36. The scanned line-shaped light images are then subjected to the necessary signal processing in a signal processor circuit 35 such as to measure the three-dimensional configuration of the object.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 1996Date of Patent: July 21, 1998Assignee: Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideyuki Shoji, Shinichiro Hattori, Masahide Kanno, Yasushi Namii, Masaru Shiraiwa, Kimihiko Nishioka, Nobuyuki Matsuura, Akira Kusumoto

Patent number: 5436655Abstract: Arranged within a measuring-light generating unit of an endoscope apparatus for three dimensional measurement, according to the invention, are measuring means, a lamp for outgoing a normal illuminating light, and a laser for outgoing a measuring light. Connected to the measuring means is a signal line which is connected to a CCD. Further, an illuminating light outgone from the lamp is condensed by a condenser lens, and is incident upon an incident end surface of a light guide. Furthermore, the measuring light outgone from the laser is condensed by the condensing lens, and is incident upon the incident end surface of the image guide. Moreover, the incident end of the image guide is connected to scanning means formed by a piezo-electric element, a speaker (voice coil) or the like through a connecting element. The scanning means is operated whereby the incident end of the image guide is reciprocally moved in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the measuring light.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 1994Date of Patent: July 25, 1995Assignee: Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keiichi Hiyama, Masahide Kanno, Shinichiro Hattori
