Abstract: A moving platform roll sensor system comprises an ellipsometric detector capable of detecting a polarized beam within the detector's line-of-sight, and measuring the beam's polarization state, such that the polarization state indicates the rotational orientation of the moving platform with respect to a predefined coordinate system. The ellipsometric detector comprises a venetian blind component through which the polarized beam passes, arranged such that the intensity of the exiting beam varies with its incident angle with respect to the moving platform, a polarizing beamsplitter which splits the exiting beam into components having orthogonal circular polarizations, the relative intensities of which vary with the relative polarization vector of the beam, and first and second detectors which receive the first and second orthogonal circular components and generate respective outputs that vary with the intensities of their received components.

Abstract: A dashboard application can enable a user to quickly view data (and, in a particular aspect, data from one or more business applications) in an efficient manner. The dashboard application can be used to view data about one or more metrics that reflect the performance of a business, as derived from data maintained (perhaps in an associated data store) by the business application(s). The dashboard application can provide the ability to select a level of granularity at which data should be displayed and/or filtered for display.

Abstract: A method of fabricating large area birefringent grating films requires directing a UV beam through a large-scale LC polymer film alignment template on which a predetermined periodic alignment pattern has been imprinted and onto a photo-alignment layer such that the pattern is transferred thereon. The alignment template is fabricated by directing a collimated linearly polarized UV beam through a birefringent prism to produce two UV beams, which are directed onto a photo-alignment layer through a uniform quarter-wave plate to create a UV hologram which imprints the desired pattern onto the photo-alignment layer. These steps are repeated on different portions of the photo-alignment layer to create a large-scale photo-alignment layer.
