Title: Color management system
Inventor: NEWELL MICHAEL
IPC: G03B21/00
Filed: 2002-08-06
Abstract: A color management system for use with projection displays includes, for example, a separating polarizing beamsplitter, a compensating prism group, an image assimilator, and a combining polarizing beam splitter. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, the separating polarizing beamsplitter receives a bi-oriented light input and separates it into two output beams, one comprising a first component and the other comprising a second component. The image assimilator receives an output light beam from the separating polarizing beamsplitter, transmits the light output to one or more corresponding microdisplays, receives one or more modified outputs from the microdisplays, and emits an output comprising those modified outputs to a combining polarizing beamsplitter. The compensating prism group receives from the separating polarizing beamsplitter the other output light beam, transmits it to another corresponding microdisplay, receives from the microdisplay a modified light output, and transmits it to the combining polarizing beamsplitter be combined with the light output from the image assimilator. The compensating prism group may be configured to compensate for an optical aberration induced by the light separator.

Abstract: A system includes a rotary chamber and pistons that move in the same direction at varying and alternatively opposite velocities to each other inside a fixed structure. The chamber is rotatively formed by two rotary partial-chambers, each partial-chamber having a piston jointed thereto. The piston closes the associated partial-chamber and penetrates respectively by sliding into a hollow of the other partial-chamber, so as to create at least two compartments that alternatively vary in volume when driven by a mechanism of alternatively opposite variation of velocities.

Abstract: Un lecteur de disque, tel qu'un lecteur de disque compact ou de disque vidéonumérique, comprend en général un plateau de réception pour le disque devant être lu par balayage et un dispositif à came qui se déplace entre une position  'marche'' permettant de lire le disque et une position  'arrêt'' permettant de charger le disque. Dans le lecteur de disque, les mouvements et les positions de fin de course du plateau et du dispositif à came doivent être surveillés pour un fonctionnement correct. Pour cela, on utilise généralement plusieurs commutateurs ou un commutateur sophistiqué spécial. On cherche à simplifier le moyen permettant d'effectuer lesdites opérations de surveillance pour les mouvements se produisant dans différentes directions, et, particulièrement pour faire cela au moyen d'un seul et unique commutateur simple. Le dispositif à came (2) est prévu avec un chanfrein (5) qui permet de déplacer un levier (6) du commutateur (7) dans une première position (a) et avec un levier (1) de commande comportant une zone (8) d'actionnement du commutateur qui sert à déplacer ledit levier (6) du commutateur dans une deuxième position (b), ledit levier (1) de commande étant monté pivotant sur le dispositif à came (2) et contraint par un ressort (9). Cette solution permet de surveiller les mouvements dans différentes directions à l'aide d'un seul et unique commutateur simple.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à des systèmes, ainsi qu'aux procédés correspondants, permettant de produire des codes graphiques (c'est-à-dire, des images contenant des modulations graphiques inapparentes codant une information intégrée) par création de grisés avec codage graphique intégré. Dans un aspect de l'invention, on crée un code graphique par création de zones de grisés dans une image initiale. Ces zones comportent des erreurs réparties dans certains secteurs de l'image initiale et calculées, du moins en partie, d'après des modulations du code graphique correspondant au codage graphique d'un message. Dans un autre aspect de l'invention, on décode une barre graphique par génération d'une image de base comprenant des zones en simili, représentatives d'une image initiale. On compare, de manière probabiliste, ces zones de l'image de base à un ensemble de mots de code graphique afin d'obtenir une séquence de mots de code graphique correspondant au codage graphique d'un message. On décode alors cette séquence de mots de code graphique pour obtenir un message décodé.
