Abstract: A system and method for presenting location-based augmented reality road signs on or within a vehicle includes a database, a plurality of transmitters, and a plurality of vehicle integrated receivers. The database is held in a computer network accessible location and stores a plurality of datasets. The plurality of transmitters are connected to the database through the computer network and broadcast area-relevant datasets from the database wirelessly in a defined geographic coverage area. The plurality of vehicle integrated receivers are operative to receive area-relevant datasets and use the information therein to determine when a particular road sign is required and then generate a standardized road sign image for the required road sign and display the image on or in the vehicle as an augmented reality projection.

Abstract: A dynamic infrared simulation cell comprising a photoconductive layer, a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and an external energy source. The first conductive layer is affixed about one side of the photoconductive layer and is transmissive with respect to radiation of known energy. The second conductive layer is affixed about the other side of the photoconductive layer. The external energy source connects to the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The photoconductive layer is a plurality of segments of photoconductive silicon material. A dielectric material fills the areas between the segments of photoconductive material. The first conductive layer is a transparent layer of gold material. The second conductive layer is a layer of aluminum material. An enclosure is available for maintaining the cell in a darkened environment.

Abstract: An X-ray plate readout device comprising a generally light-tight housing, a holder for the X-ray plate within the housing, a light source located within the housing, scanning electronics for creating a generally raster pattern of light to the X-ray plate, and a display. The light source may be either a one- or two-dimensional cathode ray tube or light-emitting diode arrangement. Imaging optics are interposed between the light source and the X-ray plate. A plano-cylindrical fiberoptics plate is arranged in close proximity to the photoconductive layer of the X-ray plate. An amplifier is electrically connected between the layers of the X-ray plate. A video monitor is electrically connected to the output of the amplifier.
