Abstract: A method for producing holograms with a multiplicity of holographic prescriptions from a single master is provided. A multiplicity of holographic substrates each containing a first hologram is stacked on a second holographic recording medium substrate. The first hologram is designed to diffract light from a first direction into a second direction. When expose to illumination from the first direction zero order and diffracted light from each first hologram interfere in the second holographic recording medium substrate forming a second hologram. The second hologram is then copied into a third holographic recording medium substrate to provide the final copy hologram.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing of video content to optimize codec bandwidth. In one embodiment, the method includes capturing panoramic imaging content (e.g., a 360° panorama), mapping the panoramic imaging content into an equi-angular cubemap (EAC) format, and splitting the EAC format into segments for transmission to maximize codec bandwidth. In one exemplary embodiment, the EAC segments are transmitted at a different frame rate than the subsequent display rate of the panoramic imaging content. For example, the mapping and frame rate may be chosen to enable the rendering of 8K, 360° content at 24 fps, using commodity encoder hardware and software that nominally supports 4K content at 60 fps.

Abstract: A cloud-native global file system in which a local filer creates objects and forward them to a cloud-based object store is augmented to include a reshapable caching scheme for the local filer. Like striped caches, the approach uses a stripe, but the striping is implemented via a true RAID 0 (disk striping) rather than as a striped LV (logical volume) device. This approach allows for a “reshape” operation to convert from a n-way stripe set to a n+-way stripe set. Preferably, a reshape involves redistributing each block on disk to its new calculated home. For example, going from a single disk to a two disk set would move every other block from disk 1 to disk 2, and rearrange the blocks on disk 1 to fill in the “holes”. Performance after the reshape matches that of a striped cache. In one embodiment, the cache is structured as a “degraded” RAID 4.
