    Abstract: Devices and techniques are described for automatically calibrating a projector system. The projector system undergoing calibration is coupled to a computing device and an automated positioning platform coupled to a target structure. The computing device acquires images using a calibrated camera of one or more patterns projected by the projector onto the target structure when the target structure is in a plurality of repeatable poses. From these acquired images, intrinsic projector parameters may be determined. Once determined, the parameters may be used to correct images produced by the projector or acquired by the camera which include a projected pattern or portion thereof.

    Abstract: In a vertical sawtooth generator of a vertical deflection circuit, a first comparator generates an output signal when a retrace portion of a sawtooth signal is at a first magnitude to initiate a vertical trace portion of the sawtooth signal. An amplifier responsive to the sawtooth signal and to a reference signal generates a feedback current at a time that occurs between the center of vertical trace and the end of trace and away from the center of trace. The feedback current is determined in accordance with a difference between the sawtooth signal and the reference signal. The feedback current is coupled to a first capacitor to develop a gain control voltage. The control voltage is applied via a voltage-to-current converter to an integrating capacitor to develop in the integrating capacitor the trace portion of the sawtooth signal. The control voltage is initialized during a power start-up interval.

    Abstract: In a convergence error detecting apparatus for use in combination with a display system of a projection type which displays, onto a display panel, a projected image signal which has a first synchronization signal of a predetermined frequency, and for detecting a convergence error signal representative of a convergence error appearing on the projected image signal, image pickup device is operated by a second synchronization signal of a frequency different from the predetermined frequency, for picking up the projected image signal to produce a pickup image signal by the use of the second synchronization signal, and processing unit processes the pickup image signal to detect the convergence error and to produce a convergence error signal representative of the convergence error. The convergence error signal is supplied to the display system to remove the convergence error in the display system.

    Abstract: A television apparatus includes a display for a video signal representing a picture. The video signal has a vertical synchronizing component defining fields of horizontal lines which can have other than a standard number of horizontal lines per field under certain operating conditions. A counter measures the number of horizontal lines in each field. A panning circuit generates a vertical reset signal which is phase shifted by a selected number of horizontal lines relative to the vertical synchronizing component of the video signal for vertically panning the picture on the video display by the selected number of horizontal lines. The selected number of horizontal lines is adjusted responsive to the measured lengths of the fields to maintain the selected amount of vertical panning even under the certain operating conditions.

    Abstract: A first voltage-to-current converter responsive to a picture height adjustment control signal generates a first current in a capacitor for producing a trace portion of a sawtooth signal in the capacitor having a rate of change that is adjustable in accordance with an adjustment of the control signal. A second voltage-to-current converter responsive to the control signal generates a second current in a resistor for producing a third signal that is adjustable in accordance with the control signal. The sawtooth and third signals are coupled via a differential amplifier to a vertical deflection winding to produce a vertical deflection current in accordance with a difference between the sawtooth and third signals such that picture height adjustment does not affect vertical centering.

    Abstract: An apparatus adapted for recovering compressible refrigeration fluid from a refrigerator means and delivering the recovered fluid under high-pressure conditions along a line to a receptacle, in fluid communication and in sequence along the line. An accumulator means to which refrigeration fluid from the refrigerator means in gaseous form is drawn, a compressor to compress the refrigeration fluid from the accumulator and create a vacuum condition for drawing refrigeration fluid from the refrigerator means, and a condenser to liquify the refrigeration fluid for delivery to the receptacle, the improvement characterized by a secondary receptacle being provided, communicating with the line between the condenser and receptacle and with the line upstream of the accumulator, and a valve means in the line between the secondary receptacle and the compressor arranged, when the pressure in the secondary receptacle exceeds a predetermined value, so that the valve will open to allow some of the refrigeration fluid to flow back to the compressor for recondensation, to thereby lower the pressure in the receptacle.

    Abstract: Retrace pulses are integrated by an R-C network to produce a ramp signal. The resistive member of the R-C network is bypassed by a diode to provide rapid retrace at the conclusion of the ramp portion of the integrated signal. A voltage divider at the output of the integrator adjusts the DC level of the ramp signal without affecting the constant of integration of the R-C network.
