    摘要: A traveling-wave tube (10) has a confined-flow periodic permanent magnet focusing arrangement (26) in which either the first magnet (60f) or the third magnet (60t) from the electron gun (12) has an extent or axial thickness along the electron stream path which is one-half that of the remaining magnets in the arrangement, thereby providing a scalar magnetic potential of essentially zero on the electron gun pole piece (46), thereby eliminating the field reversal at the cathode (14). This enables a magnetic field to be provided in the region of the electron gun between the gun pole piece (46) and a location behind the cathode due solely to the magnetic field leaking through the gun pole piece aperture (50). The axial magnetic field within the electron gun (12) may be tailored or fine tuned, by varying the size of the aperture (50) in the gun pole piece (46).

    摘要: An imaging system incorporating a scanned array of infrared detectors for a presentation of scene data on a display includes gain normalization and averaging circuitry coupled to individual ones of the detectors of the detector array. The gain normalization is accomplished with gain control circuitry structured as a feedback loop introducing equality between the magnitude of an average value of a detector signal and a reference signal. The imaging system comprises a set of channels connecting with respective ones of the detectors, each channel having a gain control circuitry. A common value of the reference signal is applied to each channel. The averaging time is several times greater than the duration of a single scan in the scanning of the detector array so as to introduce gain normalization to subject matter which is substantially uniform throughout a swath of the scene swept by a detector while leaving image points of relatively small objects unaffected by the gain normalization. The display is relatively free of nonuniformities associated with differing responsivities of the detectors to infrared radiation.

    摘要: A hand-held instrument (10) and associated method for providing optical measurements of the contour, range and motion of an object, such as a tympanic membrane of an ear, in real time, and to provide for simultaneous visualization of the object. The instrument (10) includes an illumination source (22) that projects an optical beam (24) through a grating (26) onto a gradient of refractive index lens (32) to project light and dark fringes onto the object at stepped phases determined by the grating position. Light reflected from the object is collected and focused onto an eye piece (18) to be observed by the operator. Simultaneously, reflected light from the object is focused onto a camera (46). The camera (46) generates an electrical signal in proportion to the light intensity received by the camera (46) to generate an image of the object. The image is then transmitted to processing systems to compute phase relationships in the reflected grating image to generate a contour map of the object. A drive system (28) is provided to move the grating (26) to different positions at a fraction of the spatial period of the grating during a measurement to provide phase sensitivity, eliminate reflectivity variations and reduce background noise.

    摘要: An improved eyepiece for an optical system. In general, the inventive eyepiece (10) includes a refractive element (16) and an optical arrangement for relaying the entrance pupil of the system to the refractive element. In a specific implementation, the optical arrangement includes a concave primary mirror (12) and a secondary mirror (14). The mirrors are mounted to communicate an image from the refractive element (16) to the entrance pupil (40). In the specific implementation, the refractive element (16) is one or more refractive lenses. The use of a reflective optical arrangement allows for the long eye relief. The placement of the entrance pupil close to the pupil of the lens allows for the use of a compact optical arrangement with high ratio of eye relief to effective focal length with a compact optical arrangement. The system affords minimal lateral chromatic aberration and good image quality.

    摘要: A digital information system delivers virtual on-demand information over existing, as well as the next generation, digital transport systems by offloading a portion of the systems' peak bandwidth requirements to the local subscribers. A collaborative filtering system synthesizes the preferences of all of the subscribers and then predicts those items that each subscriber might like, and therefore request. Each subscriber is provided with a local storage device for storing, during off-peak hours, those items recommended by the collaborative filtering system. As a result, only a relatively few subscriber requests must be serviced directly from the central distribution system.

    摘要: A projection system wherein two or more separate display sources, such as high brightness sources, or active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) or other flat panel displays are used to write information directly onto a display screen, or onto a photoactivated reflective light valve for projection onto the display screen. Sequential imaging apparatus is used to alternately generate first and second images for display. For example, such images are coupled to the photoactivated reflective light valve and an illumination source is employed to illuminate the light valve and project a composite image onto the display screen. The flat panel displays may be transmissive, reflective, or self-emissive with the use of an optical shutter. A writing illumination source is used for non-self-emissive flat panel displays. Using high brightness display sources, the images may be directly written onto the display screen without the use of the reflective photoactivated light valve and the illumination source. In the present invention, each video frame is divided equally among the AMLCD/flat panel displays either spatially or temporally, and the flat panel displays are optomechanically multiplexed or optically shuttered by a multiplexer, thus imaging partial frames of information sequentially or completely onto the photoactivated light valve. This results in a complete frame or sequence of frames written onto the photoactivated light valve and displayed on the screen. The present invention reduces the data rate requirements on the image sources by a factor of two, four, or more. This is a significant advantage for super-definition projection systems with multi-megapixel count requirements. Blemish/defect mitigation is achieved by alternately writing to the flat panel displays using a ping-pong approach with one-to-one full resolution flat panel displays.
