Title: Visual display
Inventor: HUANG DA WEI
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 2005-08-08
Abstract: A visual display is formed by picture elements, which are optically coupled to optical pathways (200) through which light is supplied from light sources (500). Light sources (300), controlled by control hardware (500), transmit light to the optical pathways (200) by scanning light from the light sources (300) to different optical pathways (200). The light sources (300) and the optical pathways (200) are mutually oriented so that light from the light sources (300) can be lead to different optical pathways (200) to form the displayed image. Light sources (300) can be mounted to a rotating mounting (350) that rotates past static pathways (200) that transmit coupled light to the waveguide screen (100).

Inventor: GOMILA CRISTINA
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2005-09-26
Abstract: The simulation of film grain in a video image occurs by first creating a block (i.e., a matrix array) of transformed coefficients for a set of cut frequencies fHL, fVL, fHH and fVH associated with a desired grain pattern.  (The cut frequencies fHL, fVL, fHH and fVH represent cut-off frequencies, in two dimensions, of a filter that characterizes the desired film grain pattern). The block of transformed coefficients undergoes an inverse transform to yield a bit-accurate film grain sample and the bit accurate sample undergoes scaling to enable blending with a video signal to simulate film grain in the signal.
