Title: Pupil expander integrity
Inventor: Timothy Smeeton
IPC: H01S5/068
Filed: 2021-09-21
Abstract: A holographic system comprises: a display device comprising a spatial light modulator 540 (e.g., reflective liquid crystal on silicon, LCOS, SLM) to display a diffractive pattern of an image and output spatially modulated light in accordance with the diffractive pattern; a waveguide pupil expander to receive spatially modulated light from the display device at an input port thereof and expand the system viewing window; and controller 502 to respond to a signal indicating mechanical, structural or optical failure of the waveguide pupil expander such as detection of the breakage of glass of the waveguide pupil expander. In response to the failure signal, the controller may prevent further emission of spatially modulated light, e.g., reduce a light source drive signal or switch off the light source; further, light absorbing filler expandable foam material may be released. A viewer tracking system may detect stray (e.g., laser or infrared, IR) light on a monitored viewer’s face, optionally providing the signal upon such detection. The waveguide pupil expander may be mounted to, or integrated with, a relatively large and stable impact absorbing component, which may be metal to improve thermal stability, to reduce glass shattering risks.

Abstract: Provided are an inert carrier indirect agglutination test detection system and an application thereof. Specifically, the indirect agglutination test detection system comprises an inert carrier bacteria S9 and a complex S9-P that expresses and carries a P antigen factor on the surface thereof. The inert carrier indirect agglutination test detection system only carries the P antigen factor, and has a positive particle agglutination reaction that is visible to the naked eye with the whole blood or serum of Salmonella pullorum and Salmonella gallinarum-infected chickens at certain concentration conditions, and has no non-specific cross-agglutination reactions with the serum or whole blood of different background chicken sources without Salmonella pullorum and Salmonella gallinarum infections. S9-P is based on a glass plate agglutination reaction operation platform. Agglutination reaction particles are visible to the naked eye, and the result is clear and easy to determine. The test and result determinations are complete within two minutes. S9-P is suitable for the targeted and specific detection of Salmonella pullorum and Salmonella gallinarum in chicken flocks, and has good application prospects in the field monitoring and diagnosis of chicken flocks.

Title: Information processing apparatus that notifies subject blur, image capturing apparatus, information processing method, and control method
Inventor: HIRONORI KAIDA
IPC: H04N23/68
Filed: 2022-05-31
Abstract: An information processing apparatus, which may operate in a camera, acquires first images with first capturing parameter and second images with second capturing parameters that can be set independently of the first parameters. The first capture parameters may include a frame rate or a shutter speed. Motion information of a subject is acquired from the first images to estimate an amount of motion blur that would be present in a second image capture based on the motion information and the second capturing parameters. The first images may be preparatory images captured prior to a second main image capture. Two first image frames captured at a predetermined frame rate may be selected to correspond to an exposure time of the second image. Alternatively, the first image frame rate may be changed to correspond to an exposure time of the second image. Motion in the first images can thereby be analysed over the same timeframe as the second image. Information about potential blur in the second image is notified by, for example, displaying e.g. superimposing a notification on an electronic viewfinder of a camera.

Title: Guaranteed data compression
Inventor: PETER LACEY
IPC: H04N19/176
Filed: 2018-06-29
Abstract: A method of compressing a data block including data from four channels. The method comprises determining 1902 a total size of the compressed data using an at least partial inital data compression technique and determining a mapping parameter by comparing the total size to a plurality of thresholds. A bit depth of each data value is decreased 1904 based on the mapping parameter determined in the first pass, the reduced bit depth data is compressed 1906 using a full data compression technique, and the mapping parameter is encoded 1908 in the reduced bit depth data. The at least partial compression technique includes an entropy encoding operation but omits any operations performed by the full data compression technique after entropy encoding. The initial test encoding may skip a data packing operation performed after the variable length coding in the full compression technique. The method may be used to compress image, texture or depth data processed in a graphics processing unit. Also claimed is a corresponding apparatus.
