Patents by Inventor Michiel Wouter De Wildt

Michiel Wouter De Wildt has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9967961
    Abstract: A system for providing a simulated spatial live viewing of an object includes a cathode arrangement configured to generate an electron beam towards a target area of an anode, and a processor configured to control the electron beam to hit the anode at a moving focal spot that moves at least in a first moving direction transverse to a viewing direction. Thus, X-ray radiation is generated by the electron beam impinging on the moving focal spot. Further, the system includes a detector configured to detect X-ray radiation at least partially passing an object and to generate respective X-ray detection signals. The processor is further configured to generate monoscopic 2D images based on the detection signals, where the monoscopic 2D images relate to different view-points as defined by the moving focal spot. A display is configured to display the monoscopic 2D images are from the different view-points.

  • Publication number: 20150043714
    Abstract: The present invention relates to simulated spatial live viewing of an object. In order to provide spatial information to the user with reduced requirements concerning to maintain a particular position e.g. with respect to a 3D display or to wear or activate additional components, such as 3D glasses, it is provided to generate an electron beam (38) from a cathode (32) arrangement towards a target area of an anode (34) and to control the electron beam such that the electron beam hits the anode at a moving focal spot (44), wherein the electron beam is controlled such that the focal spot moves at least in a first moving direction (46) transverse to a viewing direction (48). Thus, X-ray radiation (42) is generated by the electron beam impinging on the moving focal spot. Further, it is provided to detect X-ray radiation at least partially passing an object and to generate respective X-ray detection signals.
