Abstract: An improved backlighting apparatus comprising a slab waveguide that accepts light rays generated by a light source and transmits the light rays via total internal reflection. Attached on one face of the slab waveguide is an array of microprisms, with each microprism having an light input surface parallel to a light output surface and at least one sidewall tilted at an angle from the direction normal to the surface of the waveguide such that light rays escape from the slab waveguide, reflect off the tilted sidewall and emerge from the microprism as a light source substantially perpendicular to the light output surface. An array of microlenses may be positioned to accept the output of the microprisms so that the light exiting from the microlenses is substantially more perpendicular. The backlight apparatus is advantageously used as a backlighting means for flat panel electronic displays.

Abstract: Pour purifier de l'air intérieur chargé de poussière, il est habituel d'utiliser divers dispositifs de filtrage et de lavage de configuration plus ou moins compliquée. La présente invention concerne un appareil extrêmement simple de lavage d'air, basé sur l'envoi vers le bas d'air soufflé amené par un conduit (16) directement contre une surface d'eau située dans une cuve (2) placée dessous, et un ventilateur axial (24, 26), situé dans le conduit (16), qui fonctionne de manière à créer une rotation à la fois dans le flux d'air et à la surface de l'eau, cette dernière étant agitée afin de casser la tension superficielle de l'eau. La poussière contenue dans l'air et concentrée au centre du flux d'air par l'effet de cyclone heurte l'eau et s'assimile facilement à cette dernière, tandis que le flux d'air est dévié sans rencontrer de résistance particulière de telle sorte que cet appareil simple peut fonctionner en consommant très peu d'énergie.

Embodiments are disclosed wherein one surface of the lens design has a combined concentric annular ring, multifocal toric surface, and the other surface of the lens design has a spherical or aspherical surface. In other embodiments, one surface of the lens design has a toric surface for a toric correction, and the other surface of the lens design has a multifocal surface to provide a presbyopic correction, which may include concentric annular ring multifocal lens designs, or other presbyopic lens designs which contain more than one spherical or aspherical power such as aspheres, segments, progressive aspheres, diffractive, birefringent or other concentrics. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for generating an updated video stream from an incoming video stream for use in image encoding applications includes the steps of replacing each predetermined reference frame amongst a second plurality with an updated reference frame, obtained by temporal filtering of a first plurality of frames from said incoming video stream at positions dependent on the position of said each predetermined reference frame. If afterwards encoded using an encoding algorithm using the updated reference frames as reference frames, the thus encoded updated video stream will show a reduced peak-to-mean bitrate ratio compared to the encoded original video stream. An apparatus for performing this method is described as well.   <IMAGE>
