20140139743 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING AUDIO FIDELITY IN AN HDMI SYSTEM - HDMI is a digital audio and video communications protocol commonly used in consumer electronics. HDMI is particularly synonymous with high fidelity audio and video. Even though HDMI is a digital communications protocol, the audio quality can be impaired by analog signal impairments and distortions even if there are no digital decoding errors. In particular, the very process by which the audio is converted from Digital (HDMI) to human audible “Analog Audio” can be prone to errors. This occurs when the Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) clock, which is derived from the HDMI TMDS clock or HDMI source, is “distorted” due to its jitter, resulting in erroneous sampling or outputting of vital audio samples, thereby reducing the audio quality of the experience. The present invention reduces the jitter on the TMDS clock, and hence the audio DAC clock, resulting in lower audio distortion. Exemplary simple embodiments of the present invention in an HDMI cable can dramatically improve audio fidelity in existing home entertainment systems without an upgrade to expensive major equipment replacement such as the source (audio system) or sink (Television). | 2014-05-22 |

20140139804 | System and Method for Characterising Eye-Related Systems - Described herein is a light directing assembly for use in an object analysis system. The light directing assembly includes a plurality of optical relay assemblies. Each optical relay assembly includes at least one optical element configured to relay an interrogation beam from a light transmission system to an object and relay a return beam from the object to the light transmission system, the return beam being generated by reflection or back scattering of the interrogation beam by the object. Each optical relay assembly defines an interrogation angle at which the interrogation beam relayed by the optical relay assembly reaches the object, and an optical path length being the distance from the light transmission system to the object travelled by an interrogation beam via the optical relay assembly. The plurality of optical relay assemblies are further configured such that the optical path length for a given optical relay assembly has a predefined relationship with the optical path lengths of the other optical relay assemblies. | 2014-05-22 |
20140139805 | Remote exam viewing system - An Internet-enabled software engine is provided on a global server to provide remote viewing and manipulation of ophthalmic exams, with the Internet-enabled software engine being an instantiation of the functionability of the OCT machine on which the exam is performed, and with the Internet-enabled software engine providing both remote viewing of OCT exams and manipulation of this data, thus to give a user the ability to view and manipulate the dense data sets associated with ophthalmic exams anywhere in the world with ease. | 2014-05-22 |
