Assignee:

EMC Corporation - Hopkinton MA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707708, 707726, 707737, 707738, 707740, 707754, 707771

Abstract:

An object classification system is provided that receives, from a user, at least one piece of information relating to the object, wherein the information does not directly specify a classification for the object, and that applies at least one rule that classifies the object based, at least in part, on the at least one piece of information received from the user. The techniques described herein also enable classifying an object by, in response to a request from at least one application to access the object, applying at least one rule that dynamically classifies the object.

International Classification:

F21V 8/00
G02B 27/48

Abstract:

Apparatus for use in display systems are disclosed. In certain implementations, a display apparatus includes a light guide plate for use in a liquid crystal display backlight system. In other implementations, an apparatus for use in a projection display is disclosed including a substantially transparent rectangular prism. In implementations including laser-based light sources, the light guide plate or substantially transparent rectangular prism is configured to reduce the spatial coherence of laser light introduced thereto, thereby reducing speckle. The light guide or prism includes a plurality of light scattering particles suspended therein; alternatively the light guide or prism has a set of scratches on a surface thereof, rending the surface substantially opaque.
