  • Publication number: 20240210837
    Abstract: An algorithm-driven digital ultraviolet (UV) lithography (DUL) method and apparatus used to fabricate high-quality optical waveguide and many other kinds of high-resolution microstructures without the use of a photomask. Instead of the use of an actual photomask, a virtual mask based on a spatial light modulator is used. The DUL method and apparatus can compensate for a proximity effect caused by light scattering and make the exposure adaptive to a nonlinear response curve of a photoresist, in which an exposure dose-map is created based on the bitmap of a designed pattern together with the optimization parameters determined by system configuration and the photoresist. To fabricate large-area patterns, a plurality of sliced exposure dose-submaps with transition zones that can depress the stitching error caused by mechanical mispositioning are generated for digital lithographic exposure process.

    Abstract: A spectacle lens can inhibit ametropia of the eyes and ensure full visibility. The spectacle lens comprises: first refraction areas and second refraction areas. Each first refraction area has a first refraction force that may be based on a prescription for correcting the ametropia of the eyes. Each second refraction area has a refraction force different from the first refraction force and may function to focus images on the positions except the retina of the eyes, to inhibit the development of the ametropia. Near the central part of the lens, the second refraction areas form a plurality of independent island-shaped areas, and the first refraction areas form the areas beyond the areas of the second refraction areas.

  • Patent number: 11860043
    Abstract: In an indoor environment on fire, automatic deployment of sensors disposed on, beneath or over the floor to look upward the ceiling to observe a body of smoke and flame risen near the ceiling allows important information regarding states and dynamics of the body of smoke and flame to be gathered at an early stage of fire (e.g. before arrival of firefighters). By distributing the sensors over the indoor environment, the states and dynamics of the body of smoke and flame are monitored holistically (i.e. as a whole) even at the early stage of fire. Such information is useful to predict development of the fire. In one implementation, a sensor is held in an infrastructure sensor holder mounted on the ceiling during normal time. Upon detecting occurrence of fire, the sensor drops from the holder to land on the floor and orients a sensing direction vertically upward to perform monitoring.
