Abstract:
This disclosure provides implementations of systems, devices, components, computer products, methods, and techniques for correcting or compensating for moving visual object distortions. In one aspect, a method includes combining image data from a first frame with image data from a second frame to generate a fused image frame. Additionally or alternatively, the method can include applying a shear transformation to the image data in the first frame to generate a sheared image frame. One of, or a combination of, the fused image frame and the sheared image frame may be displayed as a pre-distorted image frame so that, when viewed on the display, the pre-distorted image frame compensates for distortion that can otherwise be perceived by a user when viewing the displayed moving visual object.
Abstract:
A mobile device may include a sensor array. The sensor array may be a touch sensor array, such as a projected capacitive touch (PCT) sensor array. The mobile device may be configured to determine whether one or more sensor signals from the sensor array indicate an ear gesture and/or the presence of an ear. One or more device operations may be invoked according to the determination.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, to reproduce a target color in an output device. In one aspect, the output device can include display elements and a processor. The processor can be configured to (a) receive data on the target color to be reproduced, (b) select the display element associated with the highest brightness, (c) determine a portion of the target color to be reproduced by the selected display element, (d) calculate a remaining amount of the target color, (e) use the display element having the next highest brightness as the selected display element of (c), and (f) repeat (c) to (e) iteratively until all display elements have been selected or the remaining amount of the target color is below a threshold.
Abstract:
Display elements of a display array include at least one fixed layer and a movable layer. The movable layer is positioned with respect to the at least one fixed layer by placing a charge on the movable layer and applying a voltage to the at least one fixed layer. The at least one fixed layer may be two layers positioned on either side of the movable layer. The movable layer may be positioned in a desired position when driving an array of display elements by executing a reset stage, a charging stage, and a bias stage.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides implementations of filters and filter topologies, circuits, structures, devices, apparatus, systems, and related processes. In one aspect, a device includes one or more LC resonant circuit stages (702, 704). In some implementations, each LC stage (702, 704) includes an inductor (706) and a capacitor (708). Each LC stage (702, 704) also has a corresponding resonant frequency. The one or more LC stages (702, 704) are arranged to produce an unmodified passband over a range of frequencies having a corresponding bandwidth. One or more microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resonators (710, 712) are arranged with the one or more LC stages (702, 704) so as to modify characteristics of the unmodified passband such that the hybrid filter produces a modified passband having a modified bandwidth or one or more other modified band characteristics.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for enhancing the brightness and/or contrast ratio of display devices (900). In one aspect, the display devices (900) can include an annular diffuser (1200) that is configured to scatter light into a ring shaped region. The annular diffuser (1200) can include a plurality of axicon lenses or holographic features. The reflective display (900) can include an annular diffuser (1200) to shift the direction (920, 925) along which most of the modulated light is scattered away from the direction (911) along which light is specularly reflected by the display devices to reduce specular glare and enhance brightness and/or contrast ratio.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for a beam pattern projection device (100) that includes a modulating array of light sources (102). In one aspect, the beam pattern projection device (100) may include a lens (120). The array of light sources (102) can be positioned such that its output plane is substantially one focal length away from the lens (120) along the optical axis. The output of the array of light sources (102) can be controllable to create an adjustable beam pattern out of a plurality of possible beam patterns (450) that are each associated with a power level of each light source in the array of light sources. The device (100) can project at a distance the adjustable beam pattern created by the array of light sources (102).
Abstract:
A projector (100) can include a projection lens (120) that is positioned substantially one focal length away from a spatial light modulator (108). The projector may also include a non-imaging optic (102) configured to illuminate the spatial light modulator. The non-imaging optic (102) may include a light emitter (104) and an etendue-preserving reflector (106). The projector (100) can be configured to project an image created by the spatial light modulator (108) at a distance using light from the non-imaging optic (102).

In one aspect, a thin film switching device is positioned on a rear side of an electromechanical systems (EMS) display element formed over a substrate and is in electrical communication with the EMS display element. In another aspect, the thin film switching device is positioned between the EMS display element and the substrate. A planar layer is disposed between the EMS display element and the thin film switching device, with the planar layer having a planar surface.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for purge gas delivery in an atomic layer deposition (ALD) processing apparatus. The ALD processing apparatus can include a processing chamber including a lid and a chamber wall. One or more process gas lines for delivering process gases are coupled to one or more process gas delivery sources in the processing chamber.
