Patent number: 9419049Abstract: An optical assembly includes a solid spacing layer between a plenoptic microlens array (MLA) and a pixel-level MLA, avoiding the need for an air gap. Such an assembly, and systems and methods for manufacturing same, can yield improved reliability and efficiency of production, and can avoid many of the problems associated with prior art approaches. In at least one embodiment, the plenoptic MLA, the spacing layer, and the pixel-level MLA are created from optically transmissive polymer(s) deposited on the photosensor array and shaped using photolithographic techniques. Such an approach improves precision in placement and dimensions, and avoids other problems associated with conventional polymer-on-glass architectures. Further variations and techniques are described.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2016Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Lytro, Inc.Inventors: Colvin Pitts, Yi-Ren Ng, Steven Oliver

Publication number: 20150039656Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an enterprise address management system. In the enterprise address management system, addresses are imported and consolidated from external sources and stored in a database. The addresses are continuously updated from the same or different external sources while a history for each address is maintained to allow for retrieval and use of previous information. The history of each address is updated as a corresponding address transitions through an address life cycle as defined by a subscriber. The address life cycle typically is represented by a state model. In some embodiments, the enterprise address management system allows each subscriber to define and configure its own address life cycle state model and to control the flow of addresses through that life cycle.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2014Publication date: February 5, 2015Applicant: SYNCHRONOSS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Mark Mendes, Susan French Smith, Robert P.
