  • Pixelated water display and design tools therefor
    Patent number: 11938502
    Abstract: A water display including a number of pixels or manifolds that may include water nozzles to emit streams of water and/or other utilities such as lighting is described. The water streams may be pixelated so as to provide a high resolution waveform or other choreography. The choreography transitions between waveforms to provide the appearance of a cascading or undulating wave. A tool to design the water display and simulate its appearance is also described.
    Type: Grant

  • Water drop TV screen
    Patent number: 10825422
    Abstract: A display where water is applied onto the screen of a visual display monitor and graphics are presented on the display that coincides with the applied water is described. The timing of the water being applied to the screen and the playing of the graphics may be orchestrated such that the applied water seems to create the presented graphics. A controller may be used to control the water and the display.
