Abstract: A display apparatus uses an LED array having an LED pixel pitch, having LED pixels emitting light with viewing angles ?. A transmissive diffuser panel is mounted with the LED array, having a directly-lit, diffuser panel surface spaced away from the LED array by an adjustable distance D. The distance D and the viewing angles ? being are effective to merge illumination from multiple LED pixels in the LED array on the directly-lit diffuser panel surface. A controller is connected to the LED array having circuitry to control the LED array in response to image data to induce display via the diffuser panel of a time varying image with spatially varying colors and intensities.

Abstract: A display apparatus uses a LED array having a LED pixel pitch, having LED pixels emitting light with viewing angles ?. A transmissive diffuser panel is mounted with the LED array, having a directly lit, non-planar diffuser panel surface spaced away from the LED array by at least distance D. The distance D and the viewing angles ? being are effective to merge illumination from multiple LED pixels in the LED array on the directly lit diffuser panel surface. A controller is connected to the LED array having circuitry to control the LED array in response to image data to induce display via the diffuser panel of a time varying image with spatially varying colors and intensities.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing medical images to generate information useful for planning or guiding revision surgeries, designing implants for use in revisions surgeries, or generally evaluating the bone architecture of a subject. The medical images may be x-ray images, such as those acquired with a computed tomography (“CT”) system, magnetic resonance images, such as those acquired with a magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) system, or ultrasound images, such as those acquired with an ultrasound imaging system. The images can also be fused together, or otherwise combined, to produce combined images that enhance the depiction of an instrument or implant in the subject relative to the uncombined images.

Abstract: An audio output device that operates on a network to connect with a first source device. The connection to the first source device can be made using a first wireless port, so that the first source device streams a first audio content to the first wireless port of the audio output device. When connected to the first source device, the audio output device generates an advertisement for the network, which communicates that the audio output device is available to receive a connection to another source device. In this way, the audio output device generates a new wireless port to connect to a second source device when the connection with the first source device is active.
