Publication number: 20240151950Abstract: A system may include first lens with a first optical component and a first mounting structure having a first wall on a first side and a second wall on second side, each wall having a gap. The system may further include a second lens that interlocks with the first lens. The second lens includes a second optical component and a second mounting structure that engages with the first mounting structure. The second mounting structure has a first barrier with a first protrusion and a second barrier with a second protrusion. The first and second protrusions positioned complementary to the gaps of the first mounting structure and configured to engage with the gaps, where engagement of the protrusions into the gaps provides passive rotational alignment of the optical components about the optical axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Ziv Attar, Cole Alexander Cogswell

Publication number: 20200301143Abstract: There is provided a holographic projector comprising a spatial light modulator, a light source and an assembly. The spatial light modulator is arranged to display a hologram. The light source is arranged to illuminate at least one region of the spatial light modulator with an input beam such that the input beam is spatially modulated by the spatial light modulator in accordance with the hologram to form a holographic reconstruction. The assembly is arranged to move at least one of the input beam and the spatial light modulator relative to the other.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2020Publication date: September 24, 2020Inventors: Jamieson Christmas, Cole Alexander

Patent number: 10597978Abstract: A shear bolt can include a body having a shear portion. A port in the body may be used for introducing a fluid into the body. A core disposed in the body may include a chamber at least partially surrounded by the shear portion. A fluid pressure in the chamber and exerted against the shear portion may be increasable in response to the fluid being introduced through the port, such as to increase an amount of stress in the shear portion and prime the shear bolt for shearing. Additionally or alternatively, a support structure positioned in the chamber may be frangible to reduce support to the shear portion in response to the fluid being introduced through the port, for example, to contribute to priming the shear bolt for shearing.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2016Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Christian Alexander Jelly, Cole Alexander Benson
