  • Patent number: 7224411
    Abstract: Apparatus and techniques for enhancing characteristics of electronic projection systems are detailed. Included among the techniques are both superimposition of sub-images and tiling of superimposed images, the combination of which can be advantageous in improving resolution of projected images. Pre-modulators and polarizing beam splitters also may be used as parts of the innovative systems.

  • Publication number: 20070042328
    Abstract: A dual coupling link for rubber band sculptures comprises four rubber bands that are bound together in such a way that the resulting structure contains six coupling loops. By use of said loops, the dual coupling link for rubber band sculptures may be joined to similar links to form a virtually infinite variety of rubber band sculptures.

  • Publication number: 20060262273
    Abstract: Methods of and equipment for converting existing standard motion picture theatres to one having highly immersive, large fields of view are addressed. Aspects of the methods including moving motion picture screens closer to the audience and employing different projection equipment to avoid or minimize appearance of unrealistic or non-natural image artefacts. Alternative sound systems too are detailed.

  • Publication number: 20060234598
    Abstract: A toy construction link for rubber band sculptures comprises two looped rubber bands, one that is folded onto itself across its midsection, and a second used to bind the first in such a way that three coupling loops are formed out of the first looped rubber band. Said link may be coupled to similar links to form a virtually infinite variety of rubber band sculptures.

  • Patent number: 6919990
    Abstract: A display system is disclosed that includes a light source, an integrator rod receiving a light beam from the light source and producing an integrated light beam, a beam splitting device splitting the integrated light beam into at least a first cone of light and a second cone of light, the cones of light having complementary intensity distributions, and at least a first spatial light modulator and a second spatial light modulator, wherein the first spatial light modulator is capable of selectively reflecting portions of the first cone of light in an ON direction and the second spatial light modulator is capable of selectively reflecting portions of the second cone of light in an ON direction. The display system further includes a combining device for combining the selectively reflected portions of the cones of light in the ON direction and projection optics for projecting the combined reflected cones of light.
