20140065303 | HOLDING DEVICE FOR OPTICAL ELEMENT - A support apparatus for coating optical surfaces has a platen having one or more holes, wherein each of the one or more holes in the platen is featured to seat one or more edges of an optical element against the platen during surface coating, wherein the platen is formed of a machinable glass ceramic. | 03-06-2014 |
20140304963 | METHOD OF MINIMIZING STACKING ELEMENT DISTORTIONS IN OPTICAL ASSEMBLIES - A compound optical assembly is constructed from a plurality of stacking elements for spacing, aligning, and retaining optical elements within the assembly. Stacking faces of the stacking elements are measured and low-order surface errors are extracted, represented by mathematical approximations having a primary angular frequency. The stacking elements including the optic holders are relatively oriented to promote complementarity between the low-order surface errors of mating stacking faces. | 10-16-2014 |
20150064447 | ADHESIVE WITH EMBEDDED WAVEGUIDES FOR CURING - An optical device includes a support structure configured to retain an optical element using a cured adhesive composition that is disposed between a surface of the support structure and a surface of the optical element, wherein a structured optical particulate material is dispersed throughout the cured adhesive. The structured optical particulate material redirects curing radiation via a scattering mechanism to facilitate curing of portions of the adhesive compositions that cannot be directly exposed to the radiation, thereby facilitating rapid and more thorough curing than could otherwise be achieved without the structured optical particulate material. | 03-05-2015 |
20150070906 | UV PROTECTIVE COATING FOR LENS ASSEMBLIES - A lens assembly including a lens; a light absorber that does not transmit light with wavelengths from greater than or equal to about 250 nm to less than or equal to about 400 nm; a lens holder; and an adhesive configure to adhere the lens to the lens holder. The light absorber is positioned such that light having a wavelength from greater than or equal to about 190 nm to less than or equal to about 500 nm is not incident to the adhesive. A method including applying a light absorber, which does not transmit light with wavelengths from greater than or equal to about 190 nm to less than or equal to about 500 nm, to a lens; and configuring the light absorber and the adhesive so that the absorbed light is not incident to the adhesive. | 03-12-2015 |

20100153393 | Constructing album data using discrete track data from multiple sources - A method and a system are provided for constructing album data using discrete track data from multiple sources. In one example, the system identifies one or more set of tracks having a similar album title, wherein the one or more set of tracks are obtained from one or more client devices. The system then searches across the one or more set of tracks for tracks having a matching fingerprint and a matching album title. The system groups tracks that match according to an original album title in metadata to obtain grouped tracks. The system mines across the grouped tracks to generate a juxtaposition of track data from the one or more client devices. The system then generates album data for one or more albums based on the juxtaposition of track data. | 06-17-2010 |
20100228704 | Recognizing a disc - A method and a system are provided for recognizing a disc. In one example, the system receives a disc, such as, for example, a Blu-ray Disc. The disc includes a content certificate and data files. The content certificate includes a unique text file that certifies the disc complies with predetermined disc parameters. The data files are the actual audio and/or video content on the disc. The system reads the content certificate or reads the data related to the data files. The system generates a hash value by applying a hash function to the content certificate or to the data related to the data files. The hash value is a unique identifier for the disc. | 09-09-2010 |
20100228736 | Recognizing a disc - A method and a system are provided for recognizing a disc. In one example, the system receives a disc, such as, for example, a Blu-ray Disc. The disc includes a content certificate and data files. The content certificate includes a unique text file that certifies the disc complies with predetermined disc parameters. The data files are the actual audio and/or video content on the disc. The system reads the content certificate or reads the data related to the data files. The system generates a hash value by applying a hash function to the content certificate or to the data related to the data files. The hash value is a unique identifier for the disc. | 09-09-2010 |
20120239696 | STRUCTURING AND SEARCHING DATA IN A HIERARCHICAL CONFIDENCE-BASED CONFIGURATION - Data searching performed by a server system. A query is received to search data stored in an organizing system in which data has been organized from a highest confidence quality tier to a lowest confidence quality tier. Data of the highest confidence quality tier of the organizing system is searched to satisfy the query, wherein searching the data of the highest confidence quality tier is performed before searching data of a lower confidence quality tier of the organizing system. | 09-20-2012 |
