20130089260 | Systems, Methods, and Software Implementing Affine-Invariant Feature Detection Implementing Iterative Searching of an Affine Space - Feature-matching methods for attempting to match visual features in one image with visual features in another image. Feature-matching methods disclosed progressively sample the affine spaces of the images for visual features, starting with a course sampling and iteratively increasing the density of sampling. Once a predetermined threshold number of unambiguous matches has been satisfied, the iterative sampling and matching can be stopped. The iterative sampling and matching methodology is especially, but not exclusively, suited for use in fully affine invariant feature matching applicants and can be particularly computationally efficient for comparing images that have large differences in observational parameters, such as scale, tilt, object-plane rotation, and image-plane rotation. The feature-matching methods disclosed can be useful in object/scene recognition applications. The disclosed methods can be implemented in software and various object/scene recognition systems. | 04-11-2013 |

The first electrode and the second electrode can be segmented and the segments separately addressed. In a display having a light shutter and an EL panel stacked on the same side of a substrate, there is a common front electrode and separate rear electrodes for operating the light shutter and the EL panel. The common electrode is electrically floating and the rear electrodes are capacitively coupled to each other by the common front electrode. The rear electrodes can be segmented and the segments separately addressed. | 02-25-2010 |
20120070628 | Printing dimensionally stable resin inks - Small geometry images are printed by coating a surface with a first resin and printing the image from ink containing a second resin on the first resin. The first resin and the second resin are characterized by being solvated by the same solvent. The solvent by which both resins are solvated need not be the solvent used in the inks for either layer. The solvent need not be the same for the inks in both layers. It is believed that solvent from a freshly printed second layer is at least slightly absorbed by the first layer, thereby reducing spreading. | 03-22-2012 |
