  • Patent number: 11119383
    Abstract: Acousto-optical modulators, such as a SAW modulators, with telescope arrays and superimposed volume gratings for light field generation are disclosed. These devices can employ pixelated demagnification and have layers of output optics, such as reflective gratings and/or arrays of transmissive refractive or diffractive lenses that manipulate the light emitted by the SAW modulator. In other cases, superimposed volume gratings are used, in which pixilation occurs in angle space.

  • Patent number: 11054676
    Abstract: A system and method for improving spatial light modulator (SLM) devices such as Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) modulators are disclosed. The SAW modulators can improved angular bandwidth and suppress unwanted diffractive orders. In one example, a coating layer(s) is applied to a proximal face of the SAW modulator to improve coupling of guided modes into leaky modes. Additionally, applying coating layers(s) such as a hybrid anti-reflective/highly reflective coating to an exit face of the SAW modulator can suppress transmission of undesired diffractive order(s).

  • Patent number: 10935868
    Abstract: A light steeling system and method for diffractive steering of electromagnetic radiation such as visible light is disclosed. Embodiments of the light steering system include leaky-mode SAW modulators as light modulator devices. The SAW modulators preferably include reflective diffractive gratings. The gratings are mounted to/patterned upon an exit face that opposes an exit surface of the SAW modulator, in one example. Steering of light signals emitted from the SAW modulators in these systems can be accomplished by varying wavelength of light signals introduced to the SAW modulators, and/or by varying frequency of RF drive signals applied to the SAW modulators. In addition, light field generators that incorporate SAW modulators of the proposed light steering system within displays of the light field generators are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10242333
    Abstract: Embodiments presented herein describe a package management system that uses guidance devices when transporting packages. In one embodiment, the package management system includes an event detecting device that detects a package transporting event such as when a package is sorted into a container, a container is moved from the warehouse to vehicle, a container is moved from a vehicle into a warehouse, a package is delivered, a package is moved to a staging location, or a package is picked-up from a staging location. Once a container or staging location corresponding to the event is identified, a gateway identifies the guidance device assigned to that container or staging location and instructs the guidance device to illuminate a light disposed thereon.

In one embodiment, the package management system includes an event detecting device that detects a package transporting event such as when a package is sorted into a container, a container is moved from the warehouse to vehicle, a container is moved from a vehicle into a warehouse, or a package is delivered. For example, the event detecting device may trigger the event in response to a worker scanning a bar code, selecting a delivery route, or checking an electronic manifest. Once a container corresponding to the event is identified, a gateway identifies the guidance device assigned to that container and instructs the guidance device to illuminate a light disposed thereon.

  • Publication number: 20190025666
    Abstract: A system and method for light field generation is disclosed. A proposed holographic display system encodes views of a scene into surface acoustic waves (SAW signals) that propagate along waveguides of SAW modulators and/or optical signals propagating in the waveguides. Each view provides a different perspective of the scene when the views are projected as light fields out of the SAW modulators and are viewed at different locations by an observer. In some examples, the system encodes the brightness information for each view into the light signals.

  • Publication number: 20180329271
    Abstract: A system and method for a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) spatial light modulator module, or SAW device that provides varying acoustic wave speed are disclosed. The SAW device includes a substrate of a material such as lithium niobate, and a coating layer is applied to the substrate. A SAW transducer of the device is configured to produce SAW signals that propagate with a propagation velocity around an interface between the substrate and the coating layer. The SAW signals couple light signals of a light source into modulated light signals that are emitted from the bottom face and/or edge face of the substrate. In embodiments, a frequency of RF drive signals applied to the SAW transducer in conjunction with the propagation velocity of the SAW signals produces a decrease in a SAW wavelength of the SAW signals as compared to current SAW device systems and methods.

  • Publication number: 20140053645
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method, device and apparatus for determining a quantity of fuel within a fuel tank having a drain valve penetrating a lower boundary of the fuel tank. The method includes inserting a pressure measurement probe having a pressure sensor into the drain valve to permit contact between the pressure sensor and fuel within the tank, and measuring a pressure of the fuel with the pressure sensor. The measured pressure is used to determine the quantity of fuel within the tank, e.g. by consulting look-up tables comprising data indicating the relationship between measured pressure and fuel quantity, or by using one or more conversion equations.
