  • Patent number: 10238476
    Abstract: A method of attaching a dental article to the surface of a tooth includes providing the dental article and applying a coating including upconversion phosphors to a surface of the dental article. The method also includes applying a dental cement composition to the surface of the tooth and placing the dental article on the surface of the tooth such that the coating is adjacent the dental cement composition. The dental cement composition includes a polymerizable resin and a photoinitiator and is substantially free of upconversion phosphors. The method further includes irradiating the coating with a radiation source that emits radiation at a pre-determined fixed wavelength that causes the upconversion phosphors to emit radiation at an activation wavelength of the dental cement composition photoinitiator such that the dental cement composition cures in a region adjacent the coating and removing remaining uncured dental cement composition outside the dental article from the tooth.

  • Patent number: 9841604
    Abstract: A color separation device changes a light path according to the wavelengths of incident light and an image sensor has improved light utilization efficiency by using the color separation device. The color separation device may include a first element having a first refractive index that varies according to wavelengths of light along a first refractive index distribution curve, and a second element having a second refractive index that varies according to wavelengths of light along a second refractive index distribution curve, the second refractive index distribution curve being different from the first refractive index distribution curve. The color separation device may be manufactured by simply joining two elements, namely, the first and second elements, together and thus may be more easily manufactured and perform more effective color separation.

  • Publication number: 20110102562
    Abstract: A multi-spectral stereoscopic display system with additive and subtractive techniques is disclosed. Stereographic images may be presented and viewed via two sets of spectral bands that may have low or no overlap with each other. The color balances of a left-eye image and a right-eye image may be almost matching or identical. The left-eye image and the right-eye image may each be a full-color image with neutral color balance, even without modifying the color balance of original image content. Additive and subtractive techniques may provide spectral content within these sets of spectral bands. Subtractive techniques may include spectral filters. Additive techniques may include multi-spectral illuminants. An arrangement of a set of spectral bands may correspond to natural resonant characteristics. The spectral bands may be determined independently of conventional RGB designation of spectral bands.
