Abstract: A method of operating a multi-junction photovoltaic cell with junctions connected in series includes operating each junction at a different, respective maximum power point. A photovoltaic circuit includes: at least one multi-junction photovoltaic cell, comprising at least first, second, and third terminals; a first junction of the photovoltaic cell positioned intermediate the first and second terminals; a second junction of the photovoltaic cell positioned intermediate the second and third terminals; and a device for independently setting current flow through the first junction and the second junction to allow for maximum power point operation of each junction, the device for setting current flow being connected to the second terminal.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method that includes displaying Boolean combinations of two or more bit planes.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a system and method for processing an image. An image processing unit includes a processor unit and a control unit. The processor unit receives an incoming video signal. The control unit defines image frames from the video signal. The image frames have bit planes in a plurality of spatial segments for manifestation on a spatial light modulator. The control unit also defines on and off states for a solid state light source. The control unit modulates the solid state light source at a modulated level during at least one bit plane such that illumination of the solid state light source at the modulated level is equally applied during the at least one bit plane for each of the plurality of spatial segments.

Abstract: A projection system includes a modulator and an Offner relay. The modulator is to modulate light in accordance with sub-frames of a frame of image data. The Offner relay is to differently aim, in accordance with each sub-frame, the light as modulated.

Abstract: A beam splitter includes a first member having at least a first dichroic layer, and a second member having at least a second dichroic layer, the first member being crossed relative to the second member.
