Abstract: An electronics system has a board with a thermal interface having an exposed surface. A thermoelectric device is placed against the thermal interface to heat the board. Heat transfers through the board from a first region where the thermal interface is located to a second region where an electronics device is mounted. The electronics device has a temperature sensor that detects the temperature of the electronics device. The temperature of the electronics device is used to calibrate an accelerometer and a gyroscope in the electronics device. Calibration data includes a temperature and a corresponding acceleration offset and a corresponding angle offset. A field computer simultaneously senses a temperature, an acceleration and an angle from the temperature sensor, accelerometer and gyroscope and adjusts the measured data with the offset data at the same temperature. The field computer provides corrected data to a controlled system.

Abstract: A display subsystem for a virtual image generation system for use by an end user comprises a planar waveguide apparatus, an optical fiber, at least one light source configured for emitting light from a distal end of the optical fiber, and a collimation element mounted to a distal end of the optical fiber for collimating light from the optical fiber. The virtual image generation system further comprises a mechanical drive assembly to which the optical fiber is mounted to the drive assembly. The mechanical drive assembly is configured for displacing the distal end of the optical fiber, along with the collimation element, in accordance with a scan pattern. The virtual image generation system further comprises an optical waveguide input apparatus configured for directing the collimated light from the collimation element down the planar waveguide apparatus, such that the planar waveguide apparatus displays image frames to the end user.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a variable diameter fiber includes providing a fiber optic cable, focusing a laser beam at a predetermined location inside the fiber optic cable, and creating a damage site at the predetermined location. The method also includes focusing the laser beam at a series of additional predetermined locations inside the fiber optic cable and creating a plurality of additional damage sites at the additional predetermined locations. The damage site and the additional damage sites define a variable diameter profile. The method further includes exposing the fiber optic cable to an etchant solution, preferentially etching the damage site and the plurality of additional damage sites, and separating a portion of the fiber optic cable to release the variable diameter fiber.

Abstract: An open cell foam is used to create a seal between a camera and a shell piece. The shell piece, camera, seal and a transparent window form a closed front cavity. Because the cavity is closed, dust can remain away from a lens of the camera.
