Title: A head-up display
Inventor: JAMIESON CHRISTMAS
IPC: G02B27/01
Filed: 2018-07-19
Abstract: A head-up display (HUD) for a vehicle includes a first housing 625 with a picture generating unit and an optical system, and a second housing 670. The picture generating unit comprises a light source and a spatial light modulator (SLM) arranged to spatially modulate light received from the source in accordance with computer generated light modulation patterns displayed on the modulator to form a holographic reconstruction corresponding to each picture. The optical system receives the pictures output from the picture generation unit and combines them with a real-world scene using an optical combiner, e.g. windscreen 630. The combined images are then presented to a viewer within an eye-box. The second housing is disposed between the first housing and the optical combiner, and comprises a substantially flat cover glass 772A arranged to protect the first housing. The second housing further comprises a layer 772B arranged to change the trajectory of light such that sunlight reflected by the cover glass is deflected away from the eyebox. The layer may be disposed on, or a structured surface of, the cover glass, and may comprise a hologram, a Fresnel structure (Figs. 8A & 8B) or a metamaterial. Additionally, the second housing may include a light trap 674 to partially shield the cover glass from sunlight.

Title: Automated well-log correlation using descriptors
Inventor: AHINOAM POLLACK
IPC: E21B47/06
Filed: 2017-03-31
Abstract: Well logs can be automatically correlated using dynamic warping with descriptors. For example, a computing device can receive user input indicating a manual correlation between a first node in a first well-log and a second node in a second well-log. The computing device can use the manual correlation to automatically determine a combination of descriptors usable to correlate the first node to the second node. The computing device can then perform dynamic warping on other well logs using the combination of descriptors determined by using the first well log and the second well log. This may provide more accurate correlations between well logs.
Patent GB-2573717-A (GB)
Title: Skew Illuminator
Inventor: Mark ayres
IPC: G02B5/18
Filed: 2018-02-15
Abstract: A skew mirror is an optical reflective device, such as a volume holographic optical element, whose reflective axis forms an angle (the skew angle) with the surface normal. A skew illuminator is a skew mirror that expands a narrow beam into a wide beam without changing the angular bandwidth of the illumination. Because the skew angle can form a relatively large angle with the surface normal (e.g., about 45), a skew illuminator can be fairly compact, making it suitable for directing light onto a spatial light modulator (SLM) in a small package. In some cases, the skew illuminator is formed as a waveguide, with a holographic layer sandwiched between a pair of substrates. A grating structure in the holographic core diffracts light out of the waveguide and, e.g., onto the active area of an SLM, which modulates the incident light and either transmits it or reflects it back through the waveguided skew illuminator.
