  • WHEELBARROW LEG STABILIZER
    Publication number: 20140246838
    Abstract: A wheelbarrow leg stabilizer having a slip resistant lower surface is provided. Preferably, the slip resistant lower surface includes a plurality of edges structured to engage the ground and thereby increase the starting friction. More preferably, the edges are part of a deformation in the leg stabilizer body. When the stabilizer body is constructed from a generally planar metal member, the deformations may be punched in the stabilizer body thereby creating openings adjacent the deformations. This configuration provides for both an edge that engages the ground but also a face that creates a larger contact surface with the ground.

  • Cross-domain solution (CDS) collaborate-access-browse (CAB) and assured file transfer (AFT)
    Patent number: 8769127
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a cross-domain, remote terminal secure browse capability are disclosed. The Collaborate-Access-Browse (CAB) Cross-Domain Solution (CDS) enables high-side users to browse low-side material with the same privileges as any other low-side user. The Assured File Transfer (AFT) CDS allows the high-side user to initiate file transfers from the low side to the high side so the browser-found data can be manipulated on the high side if needed. AFT provides for a bi-directional file exchange. High-side users can also initiate a file exchange from their high side to the low side, assuming the file contains only the appropriately classified information.

  • Projector with shutter
    Patent number: 8746898
    Abstract: A projection apparatus includes a shutter mechanism to prevent light from reaching an image plane during calibration of light sources. The shutter mechanism may include liquid crystal material that exhibits an effective index of refraction that varies with applied voltage. During calibration, a light beam is shuttered, light sources are driven by calibration data, and optical power is measured.

  • Closed loop feedback for electronic beam alignment
    Patent number: 8675141
    Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a closed loop feedback system for electronic beam alignment in a scanned beam display comprises a light source to emit one or more light beams, a controller to provide a control signal to drive the light source, a scanning platform to receive the one or more light beams and scan the light beams in a scanning pattern to project an image, and an alignment detector to provide a feedback signal indicative of beam position information of the light beams in the far field to the controller. An optic may be disposed in the beam path to magnify and/or to transform beam position information into the far field for the one or more alignment detectors. The controller adjusts the control signal in response to the feedback signal received from the alignment detector to maintain alignment of the light beams in a far field.

  • Beam combiner for a scanned beam display
    Patent number: 8622549
    Abstract: A beam combiner has a first coating on a first side capable of imparting a first polarization rotation, and a second coating on a second side capable of imparting a second polarization rotation. A first beam impinging on the first side passes through the first and second coatings as a first beam component. Second and third beams impinging on the second side partially reflect off the second coating as a second beam component, and partially transmit through the second coating to reflect off the first coating and exit through the second coating as a third beam component. The first, second and third beam components are disposed at selected positions and have respective selected polarizations as a combined beam spot. The positions and polarization of the beams components result in a projected image having increased allowable brightness and/or having reduced speckle.

  • Scanning projector with dynamic scan angle
    Patent number: 8576468
    Abstract: A scanning projector includes a MEMS device with a scanning mirror that sweeps a beam in two dimensions. Actuating circuits receive scan angle information and provide signal stimulus to the MEMS device to control the amount of mirror deflection on two axes.
