Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (200) for electrically controlling shaping of a light beam. The device comprises primary optics (202) that is arranged to shape the light beam originating from a light source (201).

Abstract: A light device comprising a side emitting light source (1) having a predetermined spatial intensity distribution, at least one optical element (2) and a base (3) as a heat sink, on which the light source (1) is supported, whereby the light device is formed in such a way that different optical elements (2) are mountable on the base (3) in order to achieve individual characteristics of light (6) leaving the light device.

Abstract: A brightness enhancing means (5), comprising a collimating means (6) having a receiving area (61), an output area (62) being larger than said receiving area (61), and sidewalls (63) at least partially extending between said receiving and output areas, is provided. At least a portion of the sidewalls (63) of said collimating means (6) comprises a first filter being arranged to reflect light of a first light property, which light is received via said receiving area (61) of said first collimating means (6), towards said output area (62) of said first collimating means (6), wherein said first filter is a dichroic filter or a polarization filter.

Abstract: A variable reflector device, comprising a reflector (6) arranged to direct light from a light source (7) and a casing (5) containing the reflector (6), a portion of said casing (5) being transparent to light directed by the reflector (6). The reflector (6) is formed by a meniscus (2) at an interface between two immiscible fluids (3,4) contained in said casing (5). According to this design, the spatial distribution of light from the light source is changeable by changing the shape of the meniscus between the two fluids. Since a change in shape of the meniscus is effected by a displacement of fluids rather than of mechanical parts, the change in reflector shape can generally be performed faster and with less energy consumption than is the case with previously known designs. Further, a meniscus between two immiscible fluids can, due to the nature of fluids, take on several different shapes, which is not the case when a solid body reflector is utilised.

Abstract: A user logic design for a mask-programmable logic device (“MPLD”) may be designed on a comparable or compatible user-programmable logic device (“UPLD”) and migrated to the MPLD, or may be designed directly on an MPLD. If the design is designed on a UPLD, the constraints of the target MPLD—i.e., differences between the devices—are taken into account so that the migration will be successful. If the design is designed directly on an MPLD, constraints of a comparable compatible UPLD are taken into account if the user indicates that the design will be migrated to the UPLD for testing. This means that when a logic design is intended to be migrated back-and-forth between a UPLD and an MPLD, only the intersection of features can be used. To facilitate migration, fixed mappings between pairs of devices may be created.

Abstract: A method for the elimination of image speckles in a scanning laser projection is suggested, in which a phase hologram is used for dividing the illumination beam of the projector into partial beams. The partial beams are heterodyned again on the image screen within the image element (pixels) to be projected in such a way that differing speckle patterns are formed which average each other out in the eye of the viewer over time and/or space. Thus, a device is provided especially for the laser projection which substantially eliminates or reduces the speckles at the viewer. However, the beam form and the beam density are hardly or not changed.
