Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for examining at least one object during which properties of the object are detected at different times within a spatial frequency space formed by spatial frequencies. According to the invention, the method is carried out in such a manner that temporally consecutive recordings ensue in overlapping regions of the spatial frequency space and additionally in regions of the spatial frequency space that differ from one another.
Abstract:
A display system includes a mechanism to provide for simultaneous pixelated color with a spatial light modulator. Also included is a mechanism to project the simultaneous pixelated color to create a color field display on a viewing surface. A further mechanism moves the color field display relative to viewing surface to provide at least one of color and resolution increasing wobulation.
Abstract:
A display system includes a light source, a spatial light homogenizer, and imaging optics. The spatial light modulator has a plurality of modulator pixels. The display system also includes a pixelated plate illuminated by the light source. The pixelated plate has a plurality of individually defined pixels formed thereon. The spatial light modulator is in optical communication with the pixelated color management device by the imaging optics and each of the modulator pixels is associated with at least one of the individually defined pixels of the pixelated plate.
Abstract:
A method of displaying an image with a display device is provided. The method comprises receiving image data comprising a first portion and a second portion for the image, generating a first plurality of sub-frames using the first portion and a simulation kernel, generating a second plurality of updated sub-frames using the second portion and the simulation kernel independently from generating the first plurality of sub-frames, and alternating between displaying a first one of the first plurality of updated sub-frames in a first position, displaying a second one of the first plurality of updated sub-frames in a second position spatially offset from the first position, displaying a first one of the second plurality of updated sub-frames in a third position spatially offset from the first and the second positions, and displaying a second one of the second plurality of updated sub-frames in a fourth position spatially offset from the first, the second, and the third positions.
Abstract:
A method of displaying an image with a display device comprises receiving image data for the image, generating first and second sub-frames where the first and the second sub-frames comprise a plurality of sub-frame pixel values and a plurality of error values and where at least a first one of the plurality of sub-frame pixel values is calculated using the image data, at least a second one of the plurality of sub-frame pixel values, and at least one of the plurality of error values, and alternating between displaying the first sub-frame in a first position and displaying the second sub-frame in a second position spatially offset from the first position is provided.
Abstract:
Computer memory is initialized by generating configuration data for a portion of memory, saving the configuration data, restarting computer memory initialization, copying the saved configuration data to initialize the portion of memory, and using the portion of memory to execute instructions to initialize a remainder of memory.
Abstract:
A computerized method and system for designing, verification and checking of the electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuits and their implementation in a integrated computer chip design where the computer chip comprises of electronic circuits designed in a parameterized cell design system, pads, interconnects and the ESD system uses a hierarchical system of parameterized cells (p-cells) which are constructed into higher level ESD networks. Lowest order p-cells pass user defined parameters to higher order p-cells to form an ESD protection circuit meeting design criteria. Ones of the p-cells are “grow-able” such that they can form repetition groups of the underlying p-cell element to accommodate the design parameters. Layout and circuit schematics are auto-generated with the user varying the number of elements in the circuit by adjusting the input parameters. The circuit topology automation allows for the customer to auto generate new ESD circuits and ESD power clamps without additional design work.
Abstract:
A method for solid free-form fabrication of a three-dimensional object includes depositing a particulate blend in a defined region, the particulate blend including reactive glass ionomer particulates, cross-linkable polyacid particulates including polyvinyl pyrrolidone-co-polyacrylic acid, and nanocomposites, ink-jetting an aqueous phase binder onto a predetermined area of the particulate blend to form hydrated cement in the predetermined area, and hardening the hydrated cement.
Abstract:
A floating interface assembly provides signal paths between an integrated circuit (IC) test head and contact pads on a load board or probe card accessing an IC to be tested. Pogo pins or other contactors for contacting the contact pads are mounted on the interface assembly and linked to the test head by flexible conductors. The interface assembly is attached to the test head by springs to allow it the freedom to rotate to some extent about any axis. As the test head approaches the contact pads, alignment pins engage and orient the interface assembly so that its contactors will mate with the contact pads. As the contactors come into contact with the contact pads, the interface assembly adjusts the plane of the contactors so as to evenly distribute contact pressure over all contactor pads.
