US Patent:

6860606, Mar 1, 2005

Filed:

Jun 26, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/608941

Inventors:

Winthrop D. Childers - San Diego CA, US
Michael A. Pate - Tuscon AZ, US

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

G03B021/14

US Classification:

353 31, 353 37, 353 85, 353 94

Abstract:

A concentrated beam source for a projector includes a plurality of individually addressable light sources configured in a two-dimensional array and a beam concentrator. The beam concentrator is configured to receive light from the plurality of light sources and to produce a reduced beam of collimated light having a component representative of each light source. The reduced beam has cross-sectional dimensions smaller than cross-sectional dimensions of the two-dimensional array.

Filed:

Sep 5, 2019

Appl. No.:

16/561600

Inventors:

- Mountain View CA, US
Michael Scot Pate - Pleasanton CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/01
G06F 3/041

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that move a display screen to produce sound or haptic feedback. A first force that causes a first movement of a first portion of a display screen is applied by a first transducer that is mechanically coupled to the first portion of the display screen. A movement of a second portion of the display screen is detected by a second transducer that is mechanically coupled to the second portion. A relationship between the first movement caused at the first portion of the display screen by the first transducer and the movement detected at the second portion of the display screen by the second transducer is determined. A second force that causes a second movement of the first portion of the display screen is applied by the first transducer, the second force being determined using the determined relationship.

International Classification:

H04R 3/00
H04R 3/04
H04R 29/00

Abstract:

In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for analyzing, by a computing system, one or more signals transmitted to an audio transducer. The computing system determines, based on the analyzing the one or more signals, an inductance of electronic components affecting the one or more signals. The computing system modifies, based on using the determined inductance to determine that atypical displacement of the membrane of the audio transducer has occurred, the one or more signals to compensate for the atypical displacement of the membrane of the audio transducer.
