  • Patent number: 10747024
    Abstract: A wide-angle camera for a head-mounted device, includes, but is not limited to, a casing, a biconvex plus lens, and a biconcave minus lens. The biconvex plus lens and the biconcave minus lens are arranged in parallel in the casing and the biconcave minus lens is closer to an object space. The bioconcave minus lens is able to move along an axis of the casing to adjust a distance to the bioconvex plus lens. The focal power of a zooming system of the wide-angle camera is set to be a range from ?0.005 to 0.005, an thus the bioconvex plus lens is stationary in the camera, and a movement of the bioconcave minus lens enables the camera to be suitable for the crowds of 500 degree nearsightedness to 500 degree farsightedness.

  • Patent number: 10670523
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for particulate matter (PM) measurement in a medium (such as air) using flat-top intensity laser sheet beam generation. The techniques for generating the laser sheet beam may include nonspecialized optical elements (e.g., aspherical, spherical, biconvex, and/or cylindrical lenses) that are cost-effective, reduce the overall footprint of the system, and also provide for relatively increased power efficiencies compared to conventional techniques. The PM measurement system may use the laser sheet beam generated in combination with a medium flow channel to pass the medium through the laser sheet beam, thereby causing particulates within the medium to scatter light, which can be detected using a light sensor (e.g., a photodetector). The scattered light signals can then be analyzed to match them with corresponding particulate sizes and the amount of signals per particulate size can also be determined to measure the size and count of particulates within the medium.

  • Patent number: 10534251
    Abstract: Prism assemblies for projector display systems disclosed receive inputs from discrete color channels (e.g., red, green and blue channels. In one embodiment, “off state” light from the red, green, and blue DLP modulation may be reflected away from on-state light paths within the prism, tending to avoid uncontrolled scatter. In other embodiments, by keeping the colors separate for much of the prism path length, power levels may be significantly reduced at typical failure points. Light efficiency may be increased significantly when using discrete light sources like LEDs and lasers by removal of the additional red, green, and blue separation and re-combination losses.
