  • Patent number: 11235582
    Abstract: A technique includes coupling outlets of a first ink supply and a second ink supply together to provide ink to a printhead of a printer; and pressurizing the first ink supply and the second ink supply with air so that an air pressure of the first ink supply has a different air pressure than an air pressure of the second ink supply. The technique includes monitoring an ink-to-air differential pressure of the first ink supply or the second ink supply; and detecting an ink state for the printer based on the monitored ink-to-air differential pressure.

  • Patent number: 8986572
    Abstract: The invention is directed to calcium fluoride crystal optics with improved laser durability that can be used for the transmission of below 250 nanometer (nm) electromagnetic radiation. The optics consists of CaF2 as the major component and Mg in an amount in the range of 13 ppm to 20 ppm while Ce and Mn are <0.5 ppm. The doped crystal and optics made therefrom have a ratio of 515/380 nm transmission loss of less than 0.3 after exposure to greater than 2.8 MRads of ?-radiation. Further, the doped crystal and optics made therefrom exhibit a greatly improved lifetime as shown by ALDT testing to at least 1 billion pulses.

  • Patent number: 8487850
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) panel has a variable white balance. The LCD panel includes an LCD screen, a first light source, a second light source and a light path directing the first and second light sources onto the LCD screen and a control circuit used to adjust the relative intensities of the first and second light sources. The first light source has a first color spectrum and the second light source a second color spectrum. The color spectrums of the first and second light sources are mixed in the light path to create a balanced white spectrum.

  • Publication number: 20130106988
    Abstract: Input video streams that are composited video streams for a videoconference are identified. For each of the composited video streams, video images composited to form the composited video streams are identified. A layout for an output composited video stream can be selected, and the output composited video stream representing the video images arranged according to the selected layout can be constructed.

  • Patent number: 8045060
    Abstract: An asynchronous camera/projector system includes a projection screen, having a key color, a projector, oriented to provide a sequenced background image to the screen, and a camera, located in front of the screen, and oriented to capture a sequenced image of the screen and a real object positioned in front of the screen. The camera and projector operate out of phase, so that the camera does not record the background image.

  • Patent number: 7690795
    Abstract: A projector/camera system includes a projector, configured to project a sequenced image to a projection location, and a camera, located at the projection location and oriented to take an image of a region including the projector. The camera is configured to capture a sequenced image that is synchronized and out of phase with the sequenced image of the projector, thereby to minimize light interference from the projector.

  • Patent number: 7557819
    Abstract: A method of displaying an image having a first aspect ratio with a display device having a second aspect ratio includes receiving image data for the image, buffering the image data and creating a frame of the image at the first aspect ratio, defining a first sub-frame and a second sub-frame for the frame of the image at the second aspect ratio, including spatially offsetting the second sub-frame from the first sub-frame in one direction, and alternating between displaying the first sub-frame in a first position and the second sub-frame in a second position spatially offset from the first position with the display device, including optically scaling a displayed image of the first sub-frame and a displayed image of the second sub-frame in the one direction.

  • Patent number: 7423693
    Abstract: A video delay stabilization system configured for multiple types of video input signals, includes a plurality of video processing modules, and a variable delay module. The plurality of video processing modules include at least one module that is selectively actuable depending upon the type of input signal, each module adding an incremental time delay to a video output signal. The variable delay module is configured to insert into the video output signal a programmed time delay equal to a difference between a maximum possible time delay added by the plurality of video processing modules, and an actual total time delay added by the modules.
