The locator detects a signal (18) from the transmitter (14) and indicates a direction of the transmitter and hence the golf ball. In one embodiment, the distance to the golf ball is also indicated.

Abstract: A display system (10) for digital color images using six color light sources (12) or two or more multicolor LED arrays (212, 213) or OLEDs (220, 222) to provide an expanded color gamut. Apparatus (10) uses two or more spatial light modulators (20, 21), which may be cycled between two or more color light sources (12) or LED arrays (212, 213) to provide a six-color display output. Pairing of modulated colors using relative luminance helps to minimize flicker effects.

Abstract: An apparatus for printing images including an illumination optics (75) that provides uniform area light is disclosed. A prism (370) is located at a first position and receives the uniform area light and refracts the light. A first reflective LCD modulator (90) modulates the refracted light on a site by site basis and reflects the first modulated light to a second position on a media plane. A motor (441) rotates the prism (370) around an axis parallel to the illumination optics to a third position. A second reflective LCD modulator (95) modulates the refracted light on a site by site basis and reflects the second modulated light to a fourth position on the media plane.

Abstract: A method of ordering prints of digital photographs includes storing at least one digital photograph. The album owner (12) enters her credit card information (38) online. Order information is transmitted to at least one viewer (37) and the viewer is notified that photographic prints (30) have been prepaid. The order information is verified at a kiosk (70) and at least one digital photograph is printed.

Abstract: The invention is a method for printing an image (10) from a halftone binary bitmap (12) having pixels (14a-14g) comprising the steps of: creating a feature location identification filter (16) for a halftone binary bitmap image; using the feature location identification filter to map pixel identifications (18a-18g); assigning a location specific exposure (20a-20g) to the mapped pixel identifications; and exposing media using the location specific exposures to create an image (10) on a printer (24).

Abstract: An apparatus for detection of multiple documents (10) in a document transport system comprises a transmitter (15), located on a first side of a document feed path (40), and emits a signal through the document feed path. A reflector (52), located on a second side of said document feed path, reflects the signal through the document feed path. A first sensor detects the signal from the transmitter. A second sensor detects the signal from the transmitter.

Abstract: A chronological age altering lenticular image is comprised of a first photograph (62) of an individual at a first age (64). A second photograph (66) of the individual at a second age (68) and a third photograph (70) of the individual at a third age (72) are included in the composite which comprise the lenticular image. The first, second, and third photographs show the individual at progressively older stages in the individuals life. In another embodiment the first, second, and third photographs show the individual at progressively younger stages in that individuals life.

Abstract: A digital preservation system (10) for accepting a digital data record as input, for providing a preview of the digital data record on a display screen (80), for writing the data record in human-readable form onto a preservation-quality medium (210), for storage of the medium (210), and for retrieval of the data record from the medium (210. The digital preservation system (10) preserves a data record in human-readable form, along with an associated metadata record, allowing the human-readable preserved data record to be readable in the distant future, independent of specific reading hardware. A preview function allows an operator to specify storage and retrieval characteristics for the data record.

Abstract: An apparatus for printing images including an illumination optics (75) that provides uniform area light is disclosed. A polarizing beamsplitter (80) receives the uniform area light and redirects a first polarization state of the light to a first reflective LCD modulator (90) which modulates the first polarized light on a site by site basis and reflects the first modulator light through the polarizing beamsplitter (80). A parallel plate tilted at a first angle spatially displaces the first modulated light along a first line normal to the polarizing beamsplitter (80). A print lens assembly (110) images the first modulated light to a first position on a media plane to print a first image. The parallel plate is moved to a second position (250) and a new image is printed.
