Title: Method and device for encoding and reconstructing computer-generated video holograms
Inventor: SCHWERDTNER ARMIN
IPC: G03H1/22
Filed: 2005-09-07
Granted: 2011-12-20
Abstract: A method and a device for encoding and reconstructing computer-generated video holograms with the help pf a conventional LC display aims to reconstruct holographically three-dimensional scenes using electronically controllable pixel in a holographic array (3) with a minimal resolution, as free as possible from flickering and cross-talking, in real time, and for both eyes at the same time in a large viewing zone. The method takes advantage of an optically focusing means (2) in order to image vertically coherent light emitted by a line light source (1) into viewing windows (8R, 8L) after modulation by the pixel array (3). The holographic reconstruction (11) of the scene is rendered visible from viewing windows (8R, 8L) for both eyes of an observer by way of diffraction at the pixels. According to the invention, the controllable pixels are disposed in pixel columns (15, 16), which encode separate holograms of the same scene for both of the observer's eyes (R, L), where said holograms are one-dimensional in vertical direction and horizontally interleaved. An image separation means (7) with separating elements arranged parallel to the pixel columns releases the respective pixel columns (15, 15' or 16, 16) for one eye and covers them for the other eye.

Title: Method for monitoring the degree of fouling of a filter
Inventor: FUTSELAAR HARRY
IPC: B01D35/143
Filed: 2005-09-01
Granted: 2013-11-05
Abstract: The invention relates to the field of filtering fluids. The invention provides a method of filtering a fluid, that is characterised by the following steps. First, a contaminated fluid is filtered in order to remove from the fluid contaminants, which are deposited on a filter in the form of a filter cake, the filter and filter cake together forming a filter medium. Subsequently a substantially non-fouling fluid is fed through the filter medium at a varying flux, and the driving force is measured or a varying driving force, and the flux is measured. The measured values of the driving force as a function of the flux, the measured value of the flux as a function of the driving force are compared with at least one standard set of data that represents a fouling characteristic or is derived from a model. On the basis of the comparison a characterisation of a fouling status of the filter medium is obtained. During successive periods of time these steps are repeated, and the values obtained as a characterisation of the fouling status during successive periods of time are compared with each other in order to obtain a change in the fouling status characteristic.
