  • Patent number: 12287244
    Abstract: An electrical device including a surface which may be exposed to heat derived from operation of the electrical device such that the temperature of the surface increases during operation. The surface includes a temperature sensor including first and second electrodes separated by a layer of control material. The material properties and/or configuration of the control material are selected such that the electrical conductivity of the control material increases with increasing temperature so that electrical current is able to pass between the first and second electrodes once the temperature of any part of the control material has reached or exceeded a predetermined temperature. The temperature sensor extends over substantially the whole of the surface. A system including the electrical device and a method of controlling the electrical device is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20250105852
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure include a digital-to-analog conversion system configured to reduce inter-symbol interference (ISI) in high-speed continuous-time DACs. The system can include a main DAC with multiple sub-DACs, each configured to process a portion of a digital input sequence and generate part of an output waveform. To address ISI errors introduced by the sub-DACs, the system can include an ISI mitigation feedback loop. The ISI mitigation feedback loop can include an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that generates a digital sequence from the output waveform and an analog correction signal generated by a correction DAC. A fractional decimation filter can be used to adjust a sampling rate and attenuate high-frequency components. A digital error estimator can generate an error cancellation sequence by correlating encoder information with the input sequence. The correction DAC can use the error cancellation sequence to generate the analog correction signal.

  • Publication number: 20250035940
    Abstract: A WHUD includes an optical scanner having two scan mirrors and a multi-pass optical relay. The first scan mirror receives light emitted from an optical engine representative of one or more images. The first scan mirror oscillates in a first direction such that the received light is scanned in a first direction and provides the light scanned in the first direction to a multi-pass optical relay. The multi-pass optical relay then relays the light to a second scan mirror. The second scan mirror is configured to oscillate in a second direction such that the relayed light is scanned in both the first and second directions. The second scan mirror then provides the light scanned in the first and second directions back to the multi-pass optical relay which relays the light scanned in the first and second directions to an incoupler of a waveguide.

  • Publication number: 20250020932
    Abstract: A laser projection system utilizes a waveguide having a narrow incoupler for double-bounce mitigation and form factor reduction. An optical scanner includes an optical relay positioned in between two scan mirrors. The first scan mirror scans laser light into the optical relay in a first dimension, and the optical relay and converges the scanned laser light towards a second scan mirror. The second scan mirror scans laser light along a second dimension substantially perpendicular to a path over which the laser light is scanned across the second scan mirror, and the convergence introduced by the optical relay causes the laser light to be scanned as a line or arc path of an exit pupil plane that is coincident with the incoupler. The optical relay may include one or more lenses or may be a monolithic molded structure, which may be an Offner-style relay or a molded reflective relay.

  • Publication number: 20250004289
    Abstract: A display system includes one or more low-power laser diodes, each producing an emission. The emissions are directed to an optical element that affects the direction or divergence of the emissions. The optical element redirects the emissions toward a steering element such as a MEMS-actuated mirror, or a combination of such mirrors. The steering element directs the emissions toward the incoupler of a waveguide acting as an optical combiner. The emissions propagate through the waveguide and are extracted by an outcoupler in the direction of an observer. By scanning the direction of the beam-steering element along one or several directions, an image may be formed.

  • Patent number: 12169277
    Abstract: Display systems, such as near eye display systems or wearable heads up displays, may include a laser projection system having an optical engine and an optical scanner. Light output by the optical engine may be directed into the optical scanner as two angularly separated laser light beams. The angularly separated laser light beams typically have different angles of incidence on a second scan mirror of the optical scanner. Respectively different levels of magnification are applied to the beam diameter of each of the angularly separated laser light beams in a first dimension, such that the angularly separated laser light beams have respectively different beam diameters upon incidence at the second scan mirror. In some embodiments, the different beam diameters of the angularly separated laser light beams result in regions of incidence of each of the angularly separated laser light beams on the second scan mirror being equal or substantially similar.
