Publication number: 20230314791Abstract: Disclosed herein is an efficient optical scanning system takes the output of a multi-laser bar emitter with high divergence and delivers a combined beam of long vertical stripes of optical power that have a nearly top hat distribution along a vertical scanning axis and a narrow width along a horizontal scanning axis. This line footprint of the combined beam is scanned by a mirror onto a scene for use as ranging light in a distance measurement system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2022Publication date: October 5, 2023Applicant: STMicroelectronics International N.V.Inventors: Nenad NESTOROVIC, Jack SCHMIDT

Publication number: 20230296868Abstract: An optical module includes a fast-axis mirror that scans a laser beam along a fast-axis, a magnification mirror set formed by three discrete mirrors shaped to magnify the laser beam as it is scanned along the fast-axis and reflect the laser beam after magnification toward a slow-axis mirror that scans the laser beam along the slow-axis, and an Offner mirror relay that receives the laser beam as it is scanned along the slow-axis and reflects the laser beam out an exit aperture. The laser beam as output from the exit aperture is received at an input diffractive grating of a diffractive waveguide, with a user's eye being positioned adjacent an output diffractive grating of the waveguide such that the user's eye views ambient light entering the waveguide from objects within the user's field of view as well as light from the laser beam as it exits the output diffractive grating.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2022Publication date: September 21, 2023Applicant: STMicroelectronics International N.V.Inventor: Nenad NESTOROVIC

Patent number: 11412712Abstract: An apparatus for enabling audible communication between an animal and a remote handler of the animal comprises a flexible strap configured to be worn by the animal, and a bone conduction transducer coupled to the flexible strap and capable of receiving a signal representing a message from the remote handler. The bone conduction transducer is configured to generate physical vibrations based on and representative of the signal representing the message from the remote handler. The bone conduction transducer is positioned or positionable on the flexible strap so that when the flexible strap is worn by the animal, the vibrations are conducted to a skeletal structure of the animal to enable the animal to audibly perceive the message from the remote handler.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2021Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: COMMAND SIGHT, INC.Inventors: Alan Robert Peper, Jr., Nenad Nestorovic

Patent number: 10114215Abstract: The embodiments described herein provide scanning laser devices that include a relay optic between scanning surfaces. In general, the relay optic is configured to reimage the laser beam reflecting from a first scanner onto the second scanner. Specifically, the relay optic is configured to reimage a laser beam reflected from over an angular range from a first scanning surface of a first scanner onto the scanning surface of the second scanner. This can effectively make the exit pupil of the scanners substantially coincident, and thus can reduce the exit pupil disparity between the scanners that would otherwise exist.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2017Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Microvision, Inc.Inventors: Nenad Nestorovic, Roeland Collet

Patent number: 10110866Abstract: The embodiments described herein provide scanning laser devices that include an output optic configured to reduce image distortion. Specifically, the output optic is configured to reduce the distortions that could otherwise occur at relatively short projection distances, while also providing good image quality at relatively long projection distances. In general, the output optic includes a prism having a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface. The prism is configured such that the laser light interacts with each of these three surfaces while being transmitted through the prism and outputted to the display surface. The first, second, and third surfaces are each formed to have a freeform rotationally asymmetric shape, and these freeform rotationally asymmetric shapes are configured to work together to correct distortion in projected images.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2017Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Microvision, Inc.Inventors: Matthieu Saracco, Roeland Collet, Alga Lloyd Nothern, III, Nenad Nestorovic, Jack H.

Publication number: 20110149201Abstract: A polymer-dispersed liquid crystal based display is embedded inside a lightguide illuminator sheet which provides illumination of the display without the need for a backlight or frontlight. Light from one or more light sources is coupled into the lightguide sheet and is guided within a range of high angles of incidence within the sheet by total internal reflection. The guided light illuminating portions of the display which are in diffusing state is scattered such that some of the light is allowed to escape total internal reflection, providing visibility of the display. Guided light illuminating portions of the display which are in non-diffusing state remains guided within the lightguide illuminator sheet. Combining multiple lightguide embedded displays can be used to provide a three-dimensional display.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2010Publication date: June 23, 2011Inventors: Karlton David Powell, Nenad Nestorovic

Patent number: 7854523Abstract: An optical relay (500) includes a glare trap (512) that in one embodiment has one or more surfaces configured to reflect light impinging the surface (550) at an angle less than a first angle (722) relative to a normal line (710), and to transmit light impinging the surface (550) at an angle greater than a second angle (723) relative to the normal line (710). In other embodiments, the glare trap (512) reflects light impinging at an angle greater than a first angle and transmit light impinging at an angle that is less than a second angle. The separation between the first angle (722) and second angle (723) can be on the order of 20 degrees or more, but this angle can be reduced or eliminated when polarized light is used within the optical relay (500).Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2009Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Assignee: Microvision, Inc.Inventors: Nenad Nestorovic, Joel E.
