20100276941 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UMBRELLA POWER GENERATION - In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, there is provided a system for power generation from a fluid, such as air or water. The system comprises a rail tether, and a working umbrella movably mounted to the rail tether such that the working umbrella is powered by the fluid in a first direction along the rail tether during a working stroke of the working umbrella. A working tether couples the working umbrella to a generator during at least the working stroke of the working umbrella, and a motor is coupled to the working umbrella during at least a recovery stroke of the working umbrella, the recovery stroke being in an opposite direction to the first direction along the rail tether. | 11-04-2010 |
20120250022 | Hand-Held Color Measurement Device - A hand-held color measurement device is provided that includes a housing with an opto-measurement unit. The latter includes an optics array for receiving measurement light and a sensor array which is exposed to the measurement light, converts the measurement light into electrical measurement signals, and processes them to form digital measurement data. The measurement unit (M) consists of an aspherical input lens (L | 10-04-2012 |
20120253727 | Color Measuring Device Calibration - In a calibrating method for a filter color measuring device that includes at least three color channels, a calibration matrix for transforming output signals of the color channels into tristimulus color values is formed. The calibration is performed spectrally, wherein the spectral sensitivities of the color channels of the color measuring device and the spectral emission properties of typical light sources are measured and stored, and the calibration matrix is calculated from the spectral sensitivities and the spectral emission properties of the light sources and the spectral evaluation functions of the standard observer, e.g., according to CIE 1931. | 10-04-2012 |
20150241632 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MULTIPLE-BEAM LASER ARRANGEMENTS WITH VARIABLE BEAM PARAMETER PRODUCT - In various embodiments, a beam-parameter adjustment system and focusing system alters a spatial power distribution of a plurality of radiation beams before the beams are coupled into an optical fiber. | 08-27-2015 |
20150251273 | POLARIZATION-ADJUSTED BEAM OPERATION FOR MATERIALS PROCESSING - Systems and techniques for optimizing the operation of a beam emitter during material processing maintain an optimal polarization of the beam with respect to the material throughout processing—e.g., even as the beam path varies or the nature or thickness of the material changes. | 09-10-2015 |
20150331205 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LASER SYSTEMS WITH VARIABLE BEAM PARAMETER PRODUCT - In various embodiments, a beam-parameter adjustment system and focusing system alters a spatial power distribution of a radiation beams before the beam is coupled into an optical fiber or delivered to a workpiece. | 11-19-2015 |
20150331245 | WAVELENGTH BEAM COMBINING LASER SYSTEMS WITH MICRO-OPTICS - In various embodiments, wavelength beam combining systems feature multiple beam emitters each emitting an individual beam, as well as multiple micro-optics arrangements each disposed optically downstream from a beam emitter to intercept the beam emitted thereby and direct the beam toward a dispersive element for combination into a multi-wavelength output beam. | 11-19-2015 |
20150364900 | STABILIZATION OF WAVELENGTH BEAM COMBINING LASER SYSTEMS IN THE NON-WAVELENGTH BEAM COMBINING DIRECTION - In various embodiments, wavelength beam combining laser systems incorporate optics having optical power along the non-WBC direction (and/or the slow-diverging axis) of the combined multi-wavelength beam proximate to or combined with the partially reflective output coupler in order to correct pointing variation in the non-WBC direction (and/or the slow-diverging axis). | 12-17-2015 |
