  • Publication number: 20150169799
    Abstract: A method of optical and electrical simulation of an optoelectronic device, the surface of which is intended to be illuminated has a texture formed of regular cones, under the effect of the illumination of the surface by an incident light beam having an intensity spectrum determined on the basis of the wavelength, the method being implemented by computer and comprising: modelling the device in the form of a structure for which the illuminated surface is modelled by a planar surface, modelling the incident light beam by: a first light beam inclined relative to the normal to the surface with a first non-zero angle, simulating an angle of incidence of the incident beam on the texture of the surface of the device, and for which the intensity is equal to that of the incident beam.

  • Patent number: 8914744
    Abstract: A system and method is provided that generates and transmits images over a communication network to an end user. The system and method includes a zoom and pan (ZAP) feature that offers a user the ability to see all available detail of a displayed image despite the limited image display area. Specifically, images presented within a zoom and pan interface allow the user to zoom in to a particular area of a displayed image to see additional detail, pan to view various areas of the displayed image, and to zoom out again to view the whole displayed image in context. The ZAP feature is applied to a dynamically generated image that includes at least one dynamic image feature, and viewing-region-tracking information is generated enabling user viewing characteristics to be tracked and analyzed.
