  • Patent number: 10429994
    Abstract: A projector includes an imaging unit which images a screen SC, and a position detection unit which detects an indication position of an indicator based on a captured image of the imaging unit. The position detection unit detects reflected light of detection light reflected by the indicator from the captured image of the imaging unit and obtains the indication position of the indicator based on the position of the reflected light detected from the captured image and the distance between the screen SC and the imaging unit.

  • Patent number: 10148171
    Abstract: A reconfigurable bipolar output charge pump circuit includes an input terminal configured to receive an input voltage. First and second terminals are connected to a first flying capacitor, and third and fourth terminals are connected to a second flying capacitor. First and second output terminals are respectively connected to first and second output capacitors and configured to respectively provide a positive output voltage and a negative output voltage. A switch network includes switches configured to connect the input terminal, the first to fourth terminals, and the first and second output terminals to each other in response to switch control signals. The switch network is configured to provide one of multiple potential charge pump modes. A controller generates the switch control signals in response to a mode control signal indicating one of the charge pump modes so that a magnitude of the positive output voltage and the negative output voltage becomes one of multiple predefined voltage levels.

  • Publication number: 20180327623
    Abstract: Barriers for improved vapor mitigation are contemplated, such barriers being formed as a cured latex-asphalt mixture applied to the metal surface of a metallized substrate. The latex-asphalt mixture, prior to curing, comprises an emulsion of an asphalt component, a latex component, and water. Such barriers may be seen to substantially mitigate diffusion of chemical contaminants across the barriers in the form of gas or liquids. Also contemplated are methods for forming such barriers, whether fabricated off-site for installation on site, fabricated in-situ.

  • Publication number: 20180327600
    Abstract: Compositions for forming an improved vapor mitigation barrier are contemplated, such compositions being formed as an aqueous mixture of an asphalt component and a latex component, with the latex component including a chemically resistant latex, the chemically resistant latex being an acrylonitrile butadiene copolymer, an elastomeric fluoropolymer, or both. Such compositions, when cured and formed into a vapor mitigation barrier, may be seen to substantially mitigate diffusion of chlorinated hydrocarbons across the barriers. Also contemplated are methods for forming such vapor mitigation barriers, as well as vapor mitigation barrier products formed via the application of such compositions to various substrates.

  • Publication number: 20180049519
    Abstract: A key ring for holding keys is described comprising of overlying loops formed from spring wire which both ends biased against the loops to prevent accidental loss of keys. A special portion is formed near the end of one loop to offset its edge from the underlying loop. This special portion allows for easy grasping and separation of the loops for adding or removing key to the key ring.

  • Patent number: 9766335
    Abstract: A position detection apparatus includes: an imaging portion that captures an image of a detection area for detecting indication positions of indicators; and an indicator detecting portion that detects the indication positions of the indicators based on operation image data captured by the imaging portion when indication operations by the indicators are performed in the detection area and background image data captured by the imaging portion when the indication operations by the indicators are not performed.

  • Patent number: 9503638
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus of obtaining single and video, high-resolution, panoramic images of a large field-of-view scene with a single viewpoint. The system consists of a segmented cap lens, multiple imaging sensors and imaging lenses. The cap lens is segmented to capture an individual sub-field of the entire panorama. In addition, the cap lens is optimized to relay the optical centers of the component cameras into a single viewpoint therefore reducing parallax errors. A high-resolution panoramic image with reduced artifacts is reconstructed by mosaicking multiple images taken by component cameras. The entire system is based upon refractive lenses to minimize the path length of light rays, enabling a relatively compact design for practical applications.

  • Patent number: 9070285
    Abstract: A computerized aircraft system, such as an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) is provided with a cloud detection system. The UAS includes a monocular electro-optic or infra-red camera which acquires consecutively, in real time, a plurality of images within a field of view of the camera. The system identifies feature points in each of the consecutive images, and generates macro representations of cloud formations (3D representations of the clouds) based on tracking of the feature points across the plurality of images. A cloud avoidance system takes in nominal own-ship waypoints, compares those waypoints to the 3D cloud representations and outputs modified waypoints to avoid the detected clouds.
