  • Publication number: 20190339511
    Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of fiber scanning systems and methods of scanning optical fibers. The disclosed systems and methods advantageously provide an improvement to the scanning range, the oscillation amplitude, and/or the maximum pointing angle for an optical fiber in a fiber scanning system by inducing a buckling of a portion of the optical fiber.

  • Patent number: 10451868
    Abstract: Described are optical fibers and scanning fiber displays comprising optical fibers. The disclosed optical fibers include a plurality of mass adjustment regions, such as gas-filled regions, positioned between a central waveguiding element and an outer periphery for reducing a mass of the optical fiber as compared to an optical fiber lacking the plurality of mass adjustment regions.

  • Publication number: 20180348440
    Abstract: An example apparatus includes an optical fiber, an actuator, and a joint mechanically coupling the actuator to the optical fiber. The joint includes a neck extending along an axis. The optical fiber is threaded through an aperture extending along the axis through the neck. The optical fiber is attached to the joint at a surface of the neck facing the axis. The joint also includes a collar extending along the axis. The actuator is mechanically attached to the joint at an inner surface of the collar facing the axis. The joint also includes a flexural element extending radially from the neck to the collar. During operation, the joint couples a force from the actuator to the optical fiber to vary an orientation of a portion of the optical fiber extending from the neck with respect to the axis.

  • Publication number: 20180267295
    Abstract: A fiber scanning system can have optimized performance by substantially matching the natural frequencies of the fiber scanning system's actuator and fiber optic scanning element. By matching the natural frequencies, the fiber scanning system can increase the maximum distance that the tip of the fiber optic scanning element may be driven relative to a resting position. Such an effect may be produced because matching the natural frequencies of the fiber scanner allows for larger amplitudes to be achieved. It should be noted that the natural frequency of the scanning system can be selected to avoid excitation frequencies that could destabilize the system. In this way, the system as a whole may act as a tuned mass damper or a tuned resonance structure, thereby improving scan performance while maintaining a stable scanning system.

  • Publication number: 20130137073
    Abstract: An application software that combines instructional cues with music along with a graphic representation of a workout, such as a cycling workout, for teaching one or more individuals riding stationary bikes, or regular bicycles on stationary trainers, performing other exercises, used for indoor exercise or training. Instructors of indoor cycling or Spinning® classes can use their mobile device to create a class that contains music for the class, their instructional cues by voice or text, and an automatically generated graphic profile of the ride of workout. The climb or graph is represented by harder exercise efforts appearing higher on the graph, with easier efforts appearing lower as a function of the target heart zone or percent of max heart rate. Colors can be associated with specific cardiovascular or power zones of physical difficulty or intensity.
