Abstract: An apparatus is provided for warning bird of hazards, the apparatus comprising an enclosure, at least one light emitter for directing light within a predetermined beam width between ten and forty eight degrees full width half magnitude, a light emitter controller for controlling the at least one light emitter, and a power source. The light emitter controller provides power to and controls the one or more light emitters so that the light is emitted with a predetermined repetition rate so that light is emitted to provide a visual deterrent to birds on a flight path toward the hazard. Systems and methods of using the apparatus are also disclosed.

Abstract: A stereoscopic imaging assembly for converting true visual images of a real-life subject to a stereoscopic image includes a display and an analyzer. The display is preferably a liquid crystal display, which includes first image pixels, second image pixels, and a polarizer. The first image pixels are responsive to a first electronic image of a first true visual image and the second image pixels are responsive to a second electronic image of a second true visual image. The polarizer has a first polarization material, which enables transmission of light of a first polarity, while blocking light of a second polarity, thereby transmitting a first polarized image having a first polarity. A second polarization material enables transmission of light of the second polarity, while blocking light of the first polarity, thereby transmitting a second polarized image having a second polarity.
