Abstract: An optical system for projecting an image having x and y axes onto a image plane is provided. The system includes an SLM device spaced from the image plane, the SLM device having a plurality of pixels operable to project pixels of the image onto the image plane and positioned such that the individual pixels of the projected image are oriented at substantially 45 degrees relative to the x and y axes of the image. The system further includes an optic element disposed between the SLM device and the image plane and a linear displacement device operatively connected to and operable to selectively displace at least one of the SLM device and the optic element. A method for projecting an image onto a image plane is also provided.

Abstract: An optical system is provided for projecting an image having x and y axes onto print material. The system includes an SLM device spaced from the print material, the SLM device having a plurality of pixels operable to project pixels of the image onto the print material and positioned such that the individual pixels of the projected image are oriented at substantially 45 degrees relative to the x and y axes of the image. The system further includes a modulating device operable to create relative movement between the print material and the projected image to provide increased image resolution and dithering.

Abstract: An access point (210) equipped with a storage medium (220) and configured to buffer video streams (315, 320) can efficiently manage the amount of bandwidth consumed by wireless video clients (140) accessing the same video at the same access point, thereby reducing the impact on service to coexistent wireless users (130) of that access point.
