Publication number: 20160381352Abstract: A time-multiplexed stereoscopic 3d projection system including a beam-splitting element to split the randomly polarized image-beam generated by a single-lens projector into one primary image-beam, possessing a first state of linear polarization, and two secondary image-beams, both possessing a second state of linear polarization. The polarization states are mutually orthogonal. The primary and secondary image-beams recombine to form a complete image on the surface of a polarization-preserving projection-screen. There are polarization modulators that modulate the first and second states of linear polarization between a left and right circular polarization state. There is a contrast enhancement film in the optical-path of the primary or secondary image-beams located between the polarization modulator and the projection-screen.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2015Publication date: December 29, 2016Inventor: Stephen Palmer

Patent number: 9395549Abstract: A 3-d projection system including first and second projectors generates left and right eye image beams. There is a first beam-splitting element to split the left-eye image beam into a primary left-eye image beam and two secondary left-eye image-beams and a second beam-splitting element to split the right-eye image beam into a primary right-eye image beam and two secondary right-eye image beams. The primary and secondary image beams have first and second linear polarization states, respectively. There is a first optical quarter waveplate device configured to receive the primary left-eye image beam and two secondary left-eye image beams and to convert their linear polarization states to a first circular polarization orientation. There is a second optical quarter waveplate device configured to convert the primary right-eye image beam and two secondary right-eye image beams to a second circular polarization orientation. The first and second circular polarization orientations are mutually orthogonal.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2014Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Volfoni R&D EurlInventor: Stephen Palmer

Patent number: 9286055Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for aggregating fragments of data objects from a plurality of devices. In use, a first data fragment associated with a first data object to be migrated from at least one first device associated with a legacy code to a second device associated with a target code is received, the first data fragment including at least a first portion of the first data object. Additionally, it is determined that the first data fragment is one of a plurality of data fragments that comprise the first data object. In response to determining that the first data fragment is one of a plurality of data fragments that comprise the first data object, the first data fragment is stored in a memory. Further, the memory is monitored to determine whether all of the plurality of data fragments that comprise the first data object are present in the memory.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2014Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: Amdocs Software Systems LimitedInventors: Christopher James George, Stephen Palmer, Ulf Mathias Landby

Patent number: 9022746Abstract: A compressor apparatus having a first compressor head for generating a first gas flow and a second compressor head for generating a second gas flow with a shuttling by-pass component in fluid flow communication between the first and second compressor heads for allowing the output of a portion of either the first gas flow or the second gas flow to be diverted to the other compressor head. The shuttling by-pass component allows a portion of the first gas flow to be diverted from the first compressor head to the second compressor head during an exhaust stroke of the first compressor head, while also allowing a portion of the second gas flow to be diverted from the second compressor head to the first compressor head during an exhaust stroke of the second compressor head in alternating sequence such that a more steady output of gas flow may be attained.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2011Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Allied Healthcare Products, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Kroupa, Stephen Palmer

Publication number: 20140218648Abstract: A device for polarization of a video sequence to be stereoscopically viewed has a beam splitter, cells, mirrors, and a control circuit. The beam splitter receives an incident beam and separates it into two beams with perpendicular polarizations. It has four prisms, each with perpendicular faces. The first face of each prism has a phase-delaying plate, and the second face of each prism has a layer that reflects the first polarization and transmits the second. The prisms are arranged such that a first face of each prism is next to a second of an adjacent prism. The cells have variable polarization rotation and are crossed by the beams. Each mirror reflects a beam. The control circuit defines a polarization rotation of the cells such that the beams, after having crossed corresponding cells, have a common polarization that alternates between two perpendicular states.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2012Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: VOLFONI R&DInventor: Stephen Palmer
