Abstract: A system for synchronizing events has a first subsystem that detects, measures, or generates a first set of events and the first subsystem has a first clock for time-stamping each event detected, measured, or generated by the first subsystem. The system further has a second subsystem that detects, measures, or generates a second set of events and the second subsystem has a second clock not synchronized to the first clock. The second clock is for time-stamping events detected, measured, or generated by the second subsystem. The first set of events is related to the second set of events. The system further has a processor that correlates the first set of events with the second set of events to determine a value indicative of a temporal shift between a time of occurrence of the first set of events and a time of occurrence of the second set of events.

Abstract: A plurality of algorithms for interpreting and displaying point cloud data are disclosed. Typically, a virtual grid is constructed over point cloud data, with intersections of the grid at a predetermined spacing that may be dependent on density of the point cloud. Several methods are implemented that utilize tuple data from tuples near a respective intersection to populate intersections of the grid with data. In most embodiments, the intersections of the grid correspond to pixels in a raster image. The tuple data may be manipulated to determine Nyquist spacing of points in a point cloud and portions thereof, develop monoscopic and stereoscopic images, and enhance selected features of an image. Additional algorithms are disclosed that reduce storage and computational requirements during processing of point clouds. Such algorithms use a tiled grid structure wherein processing and data storage proceeds in one or a few of the tiles at a time.

Abstract: A method for treating amblyopia in children is disclosed. A pair of eyeglasses or goggles is provided with an electrically and selectively darkenable lens, such as am LCD lens, so that for selected portions of time, one or the other eye may be occluded. In one embodiment, circuitry for providing pulses of a selected width to one or both lenses is incorporated in the eyeglasses or goggles, with the lens associated with the deviating eye receiving a wider pulse than the lens associated with the other eye. Thus, the deviating eye is occluded for a longer period of time than the normal eye. In another embodiment, a computer is coupled to the eyeglasses or goggles, and is provided with a program of interest to the child which selectively occludes the deviating eye.
