Publication number: 20260098992Abstract: An optical system and a display apparatus are provided. The optical system includes: a lens assembly, a transflective film, a reflective polarizing layer, a phase retardation film. The lens assembly includes at least two lenses, the at least two lenses include a first surface, a first attachment surface and a second surface arranged in sequence along a direction of an optical axis of the lens assembly. The transflective film is provided on a side of the first surface away from the second surface. The reflective polarizing layer is provided on a side of the second surface away from the first surface. The phase retardation film is provided on the first attachment surface. The first attachment surface is a curved surface, and a ratio of a minimum value of a curvature radius of the first attachment surface to a curvature radius of the second surface is not less than 3.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2025Publication date: April 9, 2026Inventors: Ling FU, Xin LI, Ziyang ZHANG, Hsin-Yi HU, Xingwei YANG

Patent number: 9305345Abstract: A method for image based inspection of an object includes receiving an image of an object from an image capture device, wherein the image includes a representation of the object with mil-level precision. The method further includes projecting a measurement feature of the object from the image onto a three-dimensional (3D) model of the object based on a final projection matrix; determining a difference between the projected measurement feature and an existing measurement feature on the 3D model; and sending a notification including the difference between the projected measurement feature and the existing measurement feature.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Ser Nam Lim, Jose Abiel Garza, David Scott Diwinsky, Li Guan, Shubao Liu, Xingwei Yang, Jens Rittscher

Patent number: 9251582Abstract: A computer-implemented system for enhanced automated visual inspection of a physical asset includes a visual inspection device capable of generating images of the physical asset and a computing device including a processor and a memory device coupled to the processor. The computing device includes a storage device coupled to the memory device and coupled to the processor. The storage device includes at least one historic image of the physical asset and at least one engineering model substantially representing the physical asset. The computing device is configured to receive, from a present image source, at least one present image of the physical asset captured by the visual inspection device. The computing device is configured to identify at least one matching historic image corresponding to the at least one present image. The computing device is configured to identify at least one matching engineering model corresponding to the at least one present image.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2012Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Ser Nam Lim, Vinod Padmanabhan Kumar, Russell Robert Irving, John Brandon Laflen, Li Guan, Shubao Liu, Xingwei Yang

Publication number: 20150330866Abstract: A system and method for monitoring operating conditions of tubes in a steam generator. The system comprises sensors, affixed to the tubes, for detecting one or more of mechanical strains, pressures, and temperatures in the tubes; or a camera positioned in the steam generator, the camera for capturing thermal images of the tubes; or both the sensors and the camera. The system also comprises one or more computers connected to the sensors, or the camera, or both the sensors and the camera, the computers for receiving one or more of the mechanical strains, pressures, temperatures, and thermal images, and monitoring the operating conditions of the tubes. The method comprises receiving, at one or more times, one or more of pressures, mechanical strains, temperatures, and infrared photon counts of the tubes; identifying segments of the tubes to which pertains the pressures, mechanical strains, temperatures, and infrared photon counts; and monitoring the operating conditions of the tubes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2013Publication date: November 19, 2015Inventors: Xingwei YANG, Aditya KUMAR, Ali CAN, Guanghua WANG
