  • Patent number: 9607111
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product provide the ability to utilize a spatial model. A first input body and a second input body are obtained. A non-regular Boolean operation is performed that combines the first input body and the second input body to create and output an output body. The output body is a spatial model represented by a non-manifold solid body. A topological property of the non-manifold solid body is exposed to select and control an attribute of a building component represented by the non-manifold solid body.

  • Patent number: 9437037
    Abstract: In the present invention, when a 3D medical image is displayed on a 3D display, the position of accompanying information displayed at the same time is appropriately controlled. The position of the accompanying information in the coordinate system of a 3D signal value that is an item to be drawn is computed, and said position is saved in a storage unit.

  • Patent number: 8922777
    Abstract: A method of calibrating an optical density sensor comprising calculating a first pigment solid density value of an ink solution using a current first electrical output signal value from a photodetector, a current second electrical output signal value from a photodetector, and a current lens gap value, calculating a second pigment solid density value of the ink solution using a previously measured first electrical output signal value, a previously measured second electrical output signal value, and a previously measured lens gap value, comparing the current first electrical output signal value, the current second electrical output signal value, and the current lens gap value with the previously measured first electrical output signal value, the previously measure second electrical output signal value, and the previously measured lens gap value, and comparing the first pigment solid density value with the second pigment solid density value.

  • Publication number: 20140198018
    Abstract: A display control device and a display control method for multi-user connection provides a control processing unit of a connection control module which executes a display application program to control a display unit for displaying a corresponding frame image. A plurality of mobile units are electrically connected to the connection control module via a wireless transmission interface, so the control processing unit of the connection control module controls the display unit to display the corresponding frame objects according to a connection of the mobile units. The control processing unit controls the display unit to display an interaction of the frame objects via input signals transmitted by the mobile units. Such invention allows multiple users to control the frame objects displayed by the display unit in the corresponding frame of a single display application program at the same time.

  • Patent number: 8773504
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a stereoscopic content service system and method, and more particularly to a stereoscopic content service system and method which defines a Scene Descriptor (SD) including information required for stereoscopic contents, displays the stereoscopic contents based on the information of the defined SD, and thereby may perform a two-dimension (2D)/three-dimension (3D) display conversion through user interaction and display a stereoscopic text based on information about a left and right text and disparity information.

  • Patent number: 8248462
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a dynamic parallax barrier autostereoscopic system and method for one and multiple users with user tracking. One example embodiment of the invention is a dynamic parallax barrier autostereoscopic virtual reality display system includes a display including a front display plane and a rear display plane. The front display plane dynamically generates barrier strips with transparent regions therebetween. The rear display plane generates images viewable through the transparent regions to create a virtual reality effect for a user or users.

  • Patent number: 7653518
    Abstract: A method for generating matched contour profiles includes the steps of trimming or extending an input wire to create a modified input wire and slicing a solid part in the plane of the modified input wire to create an intersection wire. The method also includes the steps of imprinting the modified input wire and the intersection wire on a disk to create one or more faces of interest, determining which faces of interest constitute matched contour faces, and extracting edges of an identified matched contour face to create a closed wire. Matched contour profiles enable solid modeling programs to generate solid models that are less prone to failure because the matched contour profile automatically adapts to changes in the shape of the solid model.

  • Patent number: 6181059
    Abstract: An electron source comprises a first permanent magnet having a first channel, extending between first and second poles of the magnet, the internal surfaces of the first channel being conductive. A cathode means is located in the first channel at a first pole of the magnet, a potential being applied between the cathode means and the conductive internal surfaces of the first channel causing electrons to be received into the first channel. A plurality of apertures is located on a wall of the first channel, the wall abutting a second permanent magnet having a plurality of second channels extending between first and second poles of the second magnet. The second pole of the second permanent magnet is adjacent to the aperture located on a wall of the first magnet such that electrons received into the first channel are distributed into the plurality of second channels.
