Abstract: An autostereoscopic display provides an extremely deep projection area by observing a relationship between a desired depth of projection and an autostereoscopic display design that includes a focal length of lenticles of a lenticular array and a number of views. The relationship specifies a projected depth at which lenticular crossover can occur for a given autostereoscopic with the specific lenticular focal length and number of views. Approximations can be used to simplify the relationship such that the projected depth is directly related to a product of the focal length and the number of views. To reduce optical aberrations, lenticles of the lenticular array include meniscus-cylinder lenses.

Abstract: A single pixel of a video display can display respective individual pixels of multiple views. In other words, a video display can include more views for an autostereoscopic image than the physical pixels of the video display would ordinarily support. The physical pixel is time-multiplexed in that the physical pixel displays a pixel of one view for a given time interval and a view multiplexer deflects the light from the physical pixel by a predetermined angle to make the pixel appear in a location corresponding to the pixel of the view. In another time interval, the physical pixel displays a pixel of a different view and the view multiplexer deflects light from the physical pixel by a different predetermined angle to make the pixel appear in a location corresponding to the pixel of the different view.

Abstract: A dental bur (10) is disclosed having an elongated shank (11) which extends to a cutting head (12). The shank includes a gripping portion (14), a tapered transition portion (15), and a neck portion (16). The diameter of the neck portion (D1) is generally the same as the diameter of the cutting head (D2). The cutting head includes six helical cutting flutes (20) extending from the neck portion (16) to a tip (18). Each cutting flute has a top cutting edge (21) and a series of generally rectangular shaped cross-cut notches. The rectangular shaped cutting notches are formed by a generally flat floor (25) and two oppositely disposed sidewalls (26). The floor forms a floor cutting edge (28) while the sidewalls form sidewall cutting edges (29). The intersection of the floor cutting edge with the sidewall cutting edges form two interior cutting corners (30).

Abstract: Lenticles of a lenticular array can be electronically controlled to be optically equivalent to either of two sets of virtual lenticles having two distinct physical characteristics. Each of the lenticles is in sufficiently close proximity to one or more switchable prisms to optically combine with therewith. The switchable optical elements can be switchable columnar prisms for example. In a first state, the switchable prisms optically combine with the lenticles such that the combination is optically equivalent to a first set of virtual lenticles. In a second, different state, the switchable prisms optically combine with the lenticles such that the combination is optically equivalent to a second, different set of virtual lenticles. Accordingly, the lenticular array can switch between two distinct configurations with the flip of a switch.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for rapid molecular profiling of tissue or other cellular specimens by placing a donor specimen in an assigned location in a recipient array, providing copies of the array, and performing a different biological analysis of each copy. The results of the different biological analyses are compared to determine if there are correlations between the results of the different biological analyses at each assigned location. In some embodiments, the specimens may be tissue specimens from different tumors, which are subjected to multiple parallel molecular (including genetic and immunological) analyses. The results of the parallel analyses are then used to detect common molecular characteristics of the genetic disorder type, which can subsequently be used in the diagnosis or treatment of the disease.

Abstract: A ridged cylinder is fused to a sheet of filter material that extends to form a pouch. When the cylinder is placed into the opening of a vessel of a matched diameter, it creates a barrier via the filter material, through which all materials must pass to reside in the vessel. The mammal's penis is directed to ejaculate into the cylinder, and the ejaculate plug is retained by the filter material, while the semen passes through the filter and into the vessel. When the collection is complete, the cylinder and attached filter material are removed from the vessel and disposed of.
