Abstract:
The filter is of a bridged-T construction, and includes a pair of semiconductor rectifiers in back-to-back relationship. An oscillation voltage is applied to the junction of the rectifiers to vary their reverse biases and the junction capacities they exhibit. The variations in notch frequency which result are selected to overlap possible drift in filter tuning and provide continued signal rejection in the presence of such changes.
Abstract:
Apparatus is provided for enabling color images to be recorded on black and white motion picture film and subsequently displayed in full color on a television monitor. Different color-encoding filters yielding the same frequency color carrier waves having different phase relationships are moved into the optical path on alternate frames for producing color representative signals, which, when averaged over several horizontal scanning lines, reduce the undesirable effects of vidicon lag and frame-to-frame misregistration.
Abstract:
AN IMPROVED RELIEF PHASE HOLOGRAM IS DESCRIBED WHICH MINIMIZES SIGANL DISTORTION UPON PLAYBACK. THE HOLOGRAM COMPRISES A HOLOGRAPHIC RELIEF PATTERN EMBOSSED ON A POLYMERIC SUBSTRATE SUCH AS A VINYL TAPE AND A COATING ON THE SURFACE OF THE SUBSTRATE DIRECTLY OVER THE RELIEF PATTERN. THE COATING MUST HAVE A THICKNESS OF SOMEWHAT GREATER THAN THE MAXIMUM CONTOUR DEPTH OF THE RELIEF PATTERN AND MUST BE OF A MATERIAL HAVING AN INDEX OF REFRACTION WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF THE SUBSTRATE.
Abstract:
Longitudinal streak in playback of pressed phase hologram motion pictures on plastic tape, due to diffraction by longitudinal scratches on the plastic tape, which is normally superimposed on reconstructed image, is eliminated by recording phase hologram with object beam oblique to surface of recording medium. This displaces the streak from the area of the reconstructed image. Angle of incidence of readout beam is optimized to produce minimum shift in the axis of the image beam in response to any twisting of flexible tape.
Abstract:
A double-sided, holographic replica comprises a web of transparent, thermoplastic, sheet material having a separate series of off-axis-recorded, phase-modulated holograms pressed into each of the opposite surfaces, respectively, of the web. Oppositely disposed (front and rear) holograms are such as to provide angularly displaced reconstructed images, respectively, when a monochromatic read-out beam is transmitted through the web. The double-sided holographic replica is made by first pressing the web and a first holographic master between a first pair of heated calender rollers to form one replica on one surface of the web, and then pressing the web, while thermoplastically adhered to the first master, and a second holographic master between a second pair of heated calender rollers to form another replica on the other surface of the web. The first and second masters are subsequently cooled and separated from the web.
Abstract:
A single picture is stored as a plurality of holograms, each on a succeeding frame of a storage tape. Each hologram is a recording of the information present in a different small area of the picture. During readout, the tape may be driven continuously relative to the readout beam and the reconstructed image thereupon made to appear as a scanned picture. The reconstruction may be made to occur on a stationary storage medium having storage properties such as a film or a scannable electronic storage means.
Abstract:
Light of a first color from a stroboscopic light source is transmitted forwardly toward a camera tube through a series arrangement of a first dichroic mirror, a condensing lens system, the image-bearing frames of a continuously moving motion picture film, a projecting lens system and a second dichroic mirror. Light of a second color from a continuous light source is reflected for transmission backwardly by said second dichroic mirror through said projecting lens system, a marginal strip of said film (in which is recorded information including synchronizing indicia) and said condensing lens system for reflection by said first dichroic mirror to a photodetector which responds to light of said second color representing said synchronizing indicia to develop triggering pulses for momentarily actuating said stroboscopic light source.
