Title: Virtual retinal display with eye tracking
Inventor: MELVILLE CHARLES D
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 1999-01-13
Granted: 2003-07-08
Abstract: Light emitted from a virtual retinal display (10) light source (12) passes through a beamsplitter (42) to a scanning subsystem (16) and on to an eyepiece (20) and the viewer's eye. Some of the light is reflected from the viewer's eye passing back along the same path. Such light however is deflected at the beamsplitter toward a photodetector (44). The reflected light is detected and correlated to the display scanner's position. The content of the reflected light and the scanner position for such sample is used to generate a map of the viewer's retina. Such map includes "landmarks" such as the viewer's optic nerve, fovea, and blood vessels. The map of the viewer's retina is stored and used for purposes of viewer identification. The viewer's fovea position is monitored to track where the viewer is looking.

Abstract: A non-invasive portable apparatus for analyzing the per-formance of gas-filled window glazing units is disclosed. The operation of the apparatus is based on discharging the spacing between the panels (2a, 2b) of the window glazing unit (1) by ap-plying rapidly alternating electrical field to the spacing between the panels of the window glazing unit, on collecting and analyz-ing the emitted discharge light in different spectral intervals. The discharge is created by a needle-like electrode (5), and the inner conducting layer (2a) of the glazing unit serves as another elec-trode. The localization of the discharge in the vicinity of the end of the needle-like electrode (5) makes it possible to collect the emitted light without routine adjustment of the optical system. In this case, factory-adjusted lenses (4a) can be used to collect the light from the discharge, and the collected light can be trans-ported to light detectors (9a-9d) by using fiber optics (6), which eliminates influence of instability of the discharge geometry.
