  • Publication number: 20070247595
    Abstract: A light surface display for providing a three-dimensional image including a plurality of particles suspended within a volumetric display. A first projection system projects sequential slices of electromagnetic energy of one or more wavelengths along the length and width of the volumetric display energizing particles to form a two-dimensional image. A second projection system projects translational slices of electromagnetic energy of one or more wavelengths that intersect with the energized particles across the depth of the volumetric display. A control system synchronizes the projection of the image source and the activation source such that the two-dimensional image and the translational slices energize the particles for a pre-determined length of time so that the particles illuminate to form an illuminated three-dimensional image.

  • Publication number: 20070247598
    Abstract: A volumetric liquid crystal display for producing a three-dimensional image is disclosed. The volumetric liquid crystal display includes a volumetric image space having at least two layers of LCD sheeting wherein each layer of LCD sheeting is selectively energized to form image slices. At least one projection system projects at least one array of electromagnetic energy of one or more wavelengths to intersect the energized layer of LCD sheeting illuminating image slices. Successive illumination of image slices on the layers of LCD sheeting provides the appearance of a three-dimensional image. Embodiments and methods of controlling and fabricating a three-dimensional image are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20060259749
    Abstract: A reconfigurable processor including a plurality of reconfigurable execution units, a memory, an instruction queue, a configuration selection unit, and a configuration loader. The memory stores a plurality of steering vector processing hardware configurations for configuring the reconfigurable execution units. The instruction queue stores a plurality of instructions to be executed by at least one of the reconfigurable execution units. The configuration selection unit analyzes the instructions stored in the instruction queue and chooses one of the steering vector processing hardware configurations. The configuration loader determines whether one of the reconfigurable slots is available and reconfigures at least one of the reconfigurable slots with at least a part of the chosen steering vector processing hardware configuration responsive to at least one of the reconfigurable slots being available.
