Abstract: In the method and apparatus for providing an optical fiber interconnect, a transmitter transmits an optical signal through an optical fiber. The transmitter does not transmit to a controller, information about the power of the transmitted optical signal near the input end of the fiber. The controller receives an indication of the power of a returned portion of the transmitted optical signal. The controller causes the lowering of the power of the transmitted optical signal to a predetermined level based the received indication.

Abstract: The transparent medium processing device comprises: a light control section 2 for performing variable control for the status of the laser beam emitted from the light source section 1, and a light status measurement section 4 for measuring the status of the laser beam inside the processing target TG. The light control section is adjusted based on the output of the light status measurement section so that the status of the laser beam inside the processing target becomes a desired status. Since the status of the laser beam inside the processing target, which is made of such a transparent medium as glass, is measured by the light status measurement section, and is fed back to the light control section, laser processing can be executed while maintaining an optimum status at a processing point inside the processing target.

Abstract: Image simulation system and method simulate an image based on a number of base images and a current lighting vector. An actual object to be viewed using the vision system is placed within the overall field of view of the vision system. Depending on the desired analysis to be made, either the entire object, or a specific portion of the object, is illuminated using one of the various illumination sources of the vision system. The base images of the objects, or of the particular portion of the object, are captured, where each base image is illuminated using a different illumination intensity of that single illumination source. This is repeated for each of the different illumination sources provided in the vision system. The simulated image is generated by combining various ones of the base images based on the light intensities of the lighting services defined in the current lighting vector. The simulated image can be evaluated to determine if it has a desired image quality. The lighting vector can be modified until a simulated image having the desired image quality is obtained. That lighting vector can then be used to obtain an actual image of the object that will have the desired image quality.

Abstract: A method and of determining scanner coordinates to accurately position a focused laser beam. The focused laser beam is scanned over a region of interest (e.g. an aperture) on a work-surface by a laser scanner. The position of the focused laser beam is detected by a photodetector either at predetermined intervals of time or space or as the focused laser beam appears through an aperture in the work surface. The detected position of the focused laser beam is used to generate scanner position versus beam position data based on the position of the laser scanner at the time the focused laser beam is detected. The scanner position versus beam position data can be used to determine the center of the aperture or the scanner position coordinates that correspond with a desired position of the focused laser beam.

Abstract: This invention provides a brightness offset error reduction system for a display device, which may have a lighted display panel and control circuitry. The lighted display may be backlit, frontlit, or emissive. The brightness offset error reduction system has voltage divider circuitry for receiving an output voltage from digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuitry. The voltage divider circuitry provides a fractional portion of the output voltage as a divided output voltage. This division of the output voltage reduces brightness offset errors and may increase the brightness resolution at low luminance levels.

Abstract: An on-chip system and method for calibrating an illumination source includes a photo-detector and intensity sense and control circuitry resident on an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit is illuminated by an illumination source, which impinges upon the photo-detector. The intensity sense and control circuitry receives the measured intensity value of the illumination source and compares the measured intensity to a predetermined value representing the desired intensity. Subject to a range of operation, the intensity sense and control circuitry adjusts the intensity of the illumination source based upon the difference between the measured illumination intensity and the desired illumination intensity.
