  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FINDING MACROMOLECULE CRYSTALLIZATION CONDITIONS
    Publication number: 20080225265
    Abstract: A system and method for determining macromolecule crystallization conditions by measuring the polarization anisotropy of a fluorescent probe attached to the macromolecule in solution as a function of a variation in crystallization conditions. In one exemplary embodiment, the concentration of the macromolecule material is varied and the polarization anisotropy as a function of concentration gives an indication of the proximity to crystallization conditions. A pulse illumination system with time gated detection is disclosed to isolate fluorescence response from excitation to reduce noise due to scattered and reflected light. A microassay system is disclosed to allow a complete 96 condition screen with less than 1 micro-liter of solution.

  • Autostereoscopic display with rotated microlens and method of displaying multidimensional images, especially color images
    Patent number: 6825985
    Abstract: A display and method of displaying multidimensional images on an autostereoscopic display includes establishing a lenslet array to include a plurality of lens elements. There is an interlacing of a plurality of multiple images on the display with a fanning of the multiple images out into an angular array. The method establishes a plurality of views in a vertical and horizontal direction. A mapping of a plurality of views onto a plurality of pixels makes up the display and a three dimensional image is generated from the fanned out multiple images.
