    摘要: A system and method for controlling an electrochromic device is provided. The system comprises a light source that produces an input light signal, and an electrochromic window configured to attenuate the input light signal by a certain amount and transmit a resulting attenuated light signal. An optical detector is configured to detect an optical property of the attenuated light signal, and a power module is connected to the electrochromic window and the detector. The power module generates a pulse-width modulated power signal and inputs the power signal to the electrochromic window. The power signal is modulated by an amount based on the detected optical property of the attenuated light signal. A control circuit for an electrochromic device is also disclosed.

    摘要: A prosthetic retina for implantation in an eye having a defective retina is formed from an array of nanowires having a predetermined spatial distribution, density, size and shape implanted in close proximity to the retina. An electrical conductor is formed at a first end of all nanowires in the array of nanowires and placed in contact with a bias source which biases the array. A plurality of electrodes is located on a second end of each of one nanowire or a bundle of nanowires in the array. Each nanowire produces a photocurrent at a corresponding electrode in response to detection of light impinging on the array of nanowires and the photocurrent stimulates one or more neurons adapted for visual perception. In the preferred embodiment, the predetermined spatial distribution mimics a distribution of rods and cones in a normal eye.

    摘要: Methods for adjusting the bulk material properties of manufactured components, such as resistors, thermistors, varistors, capacitors, resonators, oscillators, and optical components. Adjustment of the resistance of a resistor can be achieved by directing a high energy beam, such as an ultraviolet beam, onto a resistor formed from a matrix component and an embedded conductive component. The high energy beam adjusts the resistivity of the resistor material substantially without ablating the matrix component by affecting the matrix component, the conductive component, or both. Because of the lack of ablation, the material having a property to be adjusted can be a sub-layer in a laminated structure, with the high energy beam being directed through other layers formed thereon.

    摘要: A concealed panel locking mechanism is provided which may be used to secure the contents of a container in a manner that is not discernable to an uninformed individual viewing the container. In one exemplary embodiment, the locking mechanism includes one or more channels formed into a central area of a panel of material. A locking member within the one or more channels is movable along the channel to either engage or disengage the locking member from a recess formed in a side wall of the container. In one embodiment, the locking member is not physically accessible from outside the channel by a human being but is formed from a ferromagnetic material that is moved within the channel by a magnetic force generated by a suitable strength magnetic key placed on the outside surface of the panel.

    摘要: Described are techniques used in occluding contour detection. Cues obtained from a static image are combined with cues obtained based on motion disparity of objects in the image to determine occluding image contours. Two images of a same scene are obtained. Local pixel-wise flow fields are obtained using the Lucas-Kanade technique. A warped image is determined using the second image and the flow field. A disparity map is determined by comparing the warped image to the original first image. Static image cues are obtained from the original image using the Berkeley technique. The static image cues are combined with the motion disparity cues indicated by the disparity map producing a product image map. Occluding contours are determined by processing the product image map with the JetStream tracking technique. The occluding contours may be used with the original image for subsequent processing.
