This paper explores the relationship between firms’ strategies to share knowledge with their innovation system and innovative performance. The empirical analysis showed that many firms designed strategies to share technological knowledge with competitors, and those firms that shared knowledge with their innovation system earned higher innovative performance than firms that did not share knowled...

The effect of introducing a fifth large-scale space-time dimension to the equations of orbital dynamics was analysed in an earlier paper by the authors. The results showed good agreement with the observed flat rotation curves of galaxies. This analysis did not require the modification of Newtonian dynamics, but rather only their restatement in a five dimensional framework. The same analysis der...

The size limitations of mobile devices can make information display especially difficult. Micro-displays must take into account the viability of different sizes and configurations for informing users, the flexibility they provide for different types of messages, and under which conditions these results are achieved. An experiment was performed to measure user learning and comprehension of five ...

Ergophos LLC has developed and tested a new and unique class of illumination devices for mobile LCD displays (including autostereo), microscopy, and medical instruments. The devices are based on semi-planar holograms which deliver laser light with unprecedented accuracy and can be mass produced with conventional technology. The energy efficiency of a laser holographic display panel is a factor ...

One recently reported approach to flat panel autostereoscopic 3D displays under investigation at Sharp Laboratories of Europe Ltd. (SLE) uses a high precision patterned optical half wave retarder combined with a re-configurable output polariser to “develop” a parallax barrier structure attached to an LCD display panel. Such a barrier is invisible without the polariser and thus a 2D/3D configura...

Ubiquitous display environments are public places with various situated public displays. These displays are intended to provide relevant information to people in their vicinity, where this may include the regular inhabitants of the space as well as visitors. For this latter group, it is particularly challenging to provide relevant information. This is because personalization relies on the avail...

StereoGraphics Corporation has introduced a new flat-panel autostereoscopic display, the SynthaGram. It produces bright, clear, and satisfying three-dimensional images that may be viewed from a substantial angle of view by many observers. A progression of perspective views, like that used by the parallax panoramagram, is created either by computer or photographic means. Each view is sampled at ...
