  • Publication number: 20050183636
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tilting table array for micro-positioning objects, preferably for defined generation of oscillating movements of optical objects, such as for instance mirror elements in projection lens arrays, including a tilting table carrying the object and connected to at least one drive element as well as a tilting table housing that is coupled to the tilting table via an elastic connection. According to the invention, the tilting table, the tilting table housing and the elastic connection comprise one monolithic unit.

  • Publication number: 20050078228
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for generating images, preferably for use in televisions or projectors that operate in accordance with the principles of rear and front projection, including an illumination device, a color modulator, an image-generating element with tilt-mirror elements (DMD or digital micromirror device), as well as a projection lens, wherein the light component emitted by the illumination unit is reflected by the DMD and the light component contributing to the image structure reaches the image plane via the project lens. According to the invention, a tilting mirror that can be pivoted about a tilting axis is provided in the projection beam path and is connected to drive elements that supply the pivoting movements.

  • Patent number: 4575232
    Abstract: A method for producing rectified and superimposed images from multispectral photographs particularly for use in evaluation of data obtained by remote sensing comprises the steps of arranging preferably four multispectral photographs in an image plane of a rectifier, aligning in a cyclic repetition of the following steps a first, a second etc. multispectral photograph to the optical axis of the apparatus, setting the degrees of freedom of the apparatus and inserting a color filter the spectral transmissivity of which is adapted preferably to the wavelength at which the photograph was taken and exposing a light sensitive color material in a projection plane subsequently to produce a superimposed and rectified color images. The step of rectifying need not be repeated for each processing of the multispectral photographs.
