ON-MIRROR INTEGRATED ADAPTIVE OPTICS
In one example, an on-mirror adaptive optics system may include a substrate including a deformable surface, a controller and a plurality of pockets defined in a substrate. Each of the pockets may include a an electrooptical sensor and an actuator. The controller may be communicatively coupled to the electrooptical sensor and the actuator. The controller may be configured to generate control voltages based on signals received from the electrooptical sensor to deform a portion of the deformable surface proximate a corresponding pocket of the plurality of pockets.
OMNI-SPECTRAL CAMOUFLAGE AND THERMOREGULATION COMPOSITION
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system, apparatus, and methods for producing a high-performance camouflage and thermal management composite fabric textile systems. The systems comprise woven and non-woven composite fabrics consisting of layers for thermal and electromagnetic wave propagation as well as human thermal emission control. The systems incorporate thermal plastic insulation, felt insulation, electromagnetic wave absorption materials, electromagnetic wave propagation and thermal emission control elements, and camouflage pigment patterns. Dots containing encapsulated metallic particulates enable omni-spectral electromagnetic wave and thermal radiation signature manipulation and control as well as cost-effective manufacturing. Single blended textile processed via needle punching produces hair/fur-like protrusions made from a multilayer fabric composition having EM wave and thermal radiation control elements. The protrusions subsequently contain EM propagation and thermal emission control elements on their surfaces for omni-spectral camouflage and detection mitigation. The systems expand the options for meeting the demands of today and future stealth missions.

LIGHT SOURCE DEVICE, HEADLIGHT, DISPLAY APPARATUS, AND ILLUMINATION APPARATUS
[Object] To provide a light source device, a headlight, a display apparatus, and an illumination apparatus having excellent heat dissipation. [Solving Means] The light source device includes a substrate, a phosphor, a light emitting element, and a wavelength-selective reflecting member. The phosphor is disposed in contact with the substrate. The light emitting element emits excitation light for exciting the phosphor. The wavelength-selective reflecting member partially reflects the excitation light emitted from the light emitting element to be guided to the phosphor and transmits fluorescence emitted from the phosphor by excitation caused by incidence of the excitation light and the excitation light reflected by the phosphor.

MIRROR FOR CAMERA SYSTEM AND CAMERA SYSTEM
A mirror for camera system includes a substrate, a mirror layer, a fluorescent layer and an excitation window layer. The substrate is provided at a position opposed to an objective lens of an infrared camera, and transmits visible light and infrared light. The mirror layer is provided on a main surface of the substrate, which is the side opposed to the infrared camera, and reflects visible light and transmits infrared light. The fluorescent layer is provided in at least a part of the surface of the mirror layer, and emits at least infrared light as a result of receiving predetermined excitation light. The excitation window layer is provided so as to cover the fluorescent layer, and transmits the excitation light and reflects, at least, the infrared light.

Energy harvesting methods for providing autonomous electrical power to mobile devices
A method is provided that integrates an autonomous energy harvesting capacity in a mobile device in an aesthetically neutral manner. A unique set of structural features combine to implement a hidden energy harvesting system on a surface of the mobile device body structure or casing to provide electrical power to the mobile device, and/or to individually electrically-powered components in the mobile device. Color-matched, image-matched and/or texture-matched optical layers are formed over energy harvesting components, including photovoltaic energy collecting components. Optical layers are tuned to scatter selectable wavelengths of electromagnetic energy back in an incident direction while allowing remaining wavelengths of electromagnetic energy to pass through the layers to the energy collecting components below. The layers appear opaque when observed from a light incident side, while allowing at least 50%, and as much as 80+%, of the energy impinging on the energy or incident side to pass through the layer.
