Abstract: A device for the flameless oxidation of fuel includes a flameless oxidation burner, a first conduit to convey a fluid fuel phase to a first outlet and a direct primary jet including the fluid fuel phase outwardly therefrom. A second conduit is provided to convey a jacketing gas to a second outlet. The second conduit is disposed surrounding the first conduit so as to direct a jacketing jet of the jacketing gas outwardly therefrom surrounding the primary jet.

Abstract: A method of encoding a video signal of a 2D image with conversion data to assign in the conversion of said video signal to left and right eye images for stereoscopic display, including adding conversion data to a video signal of the 2D image to provide an encoded signal, the conversion data defining displacement of respective selected points of the 2D image for converting the 2D image to a format suitable for stereoscopic display, wherein the conversion data enables the creation of the left and right eye images.

Abstract: The following patent relates to an overall hardware configuration that produces an enhanced spatial television-like viewing experience. Unlike normal television, with this system the viewer is able to control both the viewing direction and relative position of the viewer with respect to the movie action. In addition to a specific hardware configuration, this patent also relates to a new video format which makes possible this virtual reality like experience.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to various arrangements of optical and electronic components to form a high-resolution helmet mounted display (HMD) or other compact display device utilizing one or more reflective mode display devices for the generation of imagery, including those utilizing micro mirror technology.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to various arrangements of optical and electronic components to form a high-resolution helmet mounted display (HMD) or other compact display device. In particular, the current invention is designed in such a way as to allow it to operate utilizing several different kinds of image generation device and to incorporate many different features including the option of “eye tracking”.

Abstract: A method of producing left and right eye images for a stereoscopic display from an original 2D image including the steps of: a) identifying at least one object within said original image, b) outlining said or each object, c) defining a depth characteristic for said or each object, d) respectively displacing selected areas of said or each image by a determined amount in a lateral direction as a function of the depth characteristic of said or each object, to form two stretched images for viewing by the left and right eyes of the viewer.

Abstract: A tracking system for tracking a viewer of an auto-stereoscopic display system including means to locate the position of the head and/or eyes of the viewer relative to the auto-stereoscopic display system. The auto-stereoscopic display system may provide a stereoscopic image including left and right image fields, the tracking system being adapted to position the image fields to thereby at least substantially correspond with the position of the eyes of the viewer. The tracking may be in at least one direction.

Abstract: A stereoscopic display unit (10, 110) including at least two projection units (14, 16) for projecting optical signals corresponding to the left and right image fields respectively of a stereoscopic image, and an optical focusing system (18) for focusing the two image fields to at least two focus regions at a viewing position outside of the display unit (10, 110). The left and right image fields are each respectively focused into the respective eyes of at least one viewer (72) when located at said viewing position. The optical focusing system (18) includes at least one retroreflective mirror (64, 210) and a semi-reflective mirror (66) disposed at an angle to the at least one retroreflective mirror (64, 210), the semi-reflective mirror (66) being partially reflective and partially transmissive, the optical signal being reflected between the at least one retroreflective mirror (64, 210) and the semi-reflective mirror (66) and to said viewing position.
