Abstract: A method for a service-providing NAN device to extend the service range of NAN communication is provided. The service-providing NAN device advertises a publication of a service. The service-providing NAN device receives a subscription to the service from an end-user NAN device. The service-providing NAN device establishes a data path from the service-providing NAN device to the end-user NAN device through one or more intermediate NAN devices. The service-providing NAN device transfers data of the service from the service-providing NAN device to the end-user NAN device over the data path.

Abstract: A method for reconstructing a surface of an object includes the steps as follows. A light beam is modulated by a spatial light modulator (SLM) and is projected to form a pattern, wherein the pattern has a transmittance distribution in a cosine distribution such that the pattern is formed to become a fringe pattern with a periodic change. A first impulse and a second impulse present within a first period and a second period of the cosine distribution, wherein a position where the first impulse occurs within the first period and a position where the second impulse occurs within the second period are different. The light beam is guided to an object so as to form a scan pattern on the object. The scan pattern is read. According to the scan pattern, a surface profile of the object is calculated.

Abstract: A system for measuring the profile or the refractive index of a transparent object by fringe projection techniques is provided and has an image generating device, an image capture device, and an image processor. The image generating device produces a reference image with a long depth of focus. This reference image is emitted into an inspected transparent object, and is distorted by the refractive index and the profile of the transparent object. The image capture device receives the distorted image. The image processor analyzes the difference between the distorted image and the reference image, so as to identify the profile or the refractive index of the inspected transparent object.

The topographical measurement system has a screen, an image capturing device, and an image processing device. The specular object reflects a fringe pattern from the screen, so as to form a virtual image of the fringe pattern. The virtual image is therefore analyzed to obtain a surface profile of the specular object.
