  • Spectacle lens having a plurality of diffraction structures for light
    Patent number: 10025115
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a spectacle lens and includes a body which is transparent or at least partly transparent to light and has a phase object which guides the light incident at an angle of incidence ? on a side facing away from an observer into a direction depending on the wavelength ? of the light and the angle of incidence ? thereof. The phase object has a multiplicity of diffraction structures, which diffract monochromatic light at a wavelength of 380 nm???800 nm with a diffraction efficiency of ??70% into one and same order of diffraction |m|?1 when the monochromatic light is incident at an angle of incidence ? on the side of the lens facing away from the observer which lies within a diffraction-structure-specific angle interval 15° wide and dependent on the wavelength of the light.

  • LIGHTING DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE, COMBINING TWO LIGHT SOURCES
    Publication number: 20180187852
    Abstract: The lighting device for a vehicle has two light sources and a wavelength conversion device excited by the combination of the radiations from the two light sources. A first light source is associated with a scanning system projecting, by scanning, a first light radiation onto a first conversion region of the device, while a second light source with semiconductors emits a second light radiation into a second conversion region of the device. The second source, different from the first source and whose luminance level is typically less high, is provided with light-emitting units of submillimetric dimensions. The beams produced by the device respectively in the first region and in the second region have different characteristics and complement one another to produce one or more lighting functions.

  • Systems and methods for tracking dribbling and passing performance in sporting environments
    Patent number: 10010778
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for tracking a dribbling and/or passing motion associated with a person engaged in either a training session for a sporting event or the live play of the sporting event. In sporting events, a dribbling motion can be associated with a repetitive movement or a short trajectory sequence between changes of direction of a ball, puck or other object used in the sporting event. A passing motion can be associated with the movement of the ball, puck or other object between two people during the sporting event. The system can use one or more sensors to capture information about a person dribbling and/or passing an object and at least one processor to analyze the information to determine and evaluate one or more characteristics associated with the dribbling, the passing motion, or a transition from dribbling to passing.
