  • Publication number: 20070188719
    Abstract: The present invention relates to projection systems where multiple projectors are utilized to create respective complementary portions of a projected image. The present invention also relates to methods of calibrating and operating individual image projectors. According to one embodiment of the present invention, an attenuation map is generated for the projectors and pixel intensity values are established for the projectors by applying one or more intensity transfer functions to the attenuation maps. The intensity transfer functions are configured to at least partially account for the non-linear response of the output intensity of the projectors, as a function of an input intensity control signal applied to the projectors. Additional embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20060029254
    Abstract: In a computer system, methods and computer-readable medium are disclosed for tracking motion of a subject in an activity captured by camera. The camera supplies pluralities of discrete images of the subject to a computing system environment. An event window, displayed on a monitor, has at least two cells for receiving a user input pertaining to an action of the subject in the activity. In a first of the two cells, the user indicates a specific image number corresponding to one of the plurality of discrete images and an estimate of a fractional percent thereof. In the second cell, the user indicates another specific image number and estimate of a fractional percentage thereof. Software calculates a delta between the specific image numbers and their corresponding estimated fractions. Scroll and position bars provide user-aid for navigating between discrete images. Example subjects include horses in a horse race activity while an action includes a horse stride length.

  • Patent number: 5780205
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for manufacturing a mould for a disc-shaped registration carrier, said device being provided with a station for applying a photosensitive layer, such as a photoresist layer, to a substrate, with a station for exposing said photosensitive layer in accordance with the registration data to be stored, with a station for developing the photosensitive layer and metallizing the side of the substrate carrying the developed photoresist layer, and with a station for applying a metal coating, wherein the various stations are accommodated in a housing and means for receiving the substrates are provided in the various stations, whilst a transport mechanism disposed within the housing is provided with at least one transport means for gripping a substrate, which transport means is movable in a horizontal plane in two directions including an angle with each other, and which is also capable of moving upward and downward within the housing.
