Regular things with irregular colors

United States Patent 7415153

Each color that stands up for himself has a artistic name. As it becames increasingly difficult to remember all those names, Chirag Mehta has devised an application Name That Color,where you select a color, but the program says which name is the most suitable for that color. That names are taken from the sites such as:Wikipedia,Crayola,Resence.

Which color?

Why do you say red when you think on maroon color?
Is an apricot a fruit or color?

Is it grey or mouse color?

And then a little more professional to say it sounds cyan and magenta

On-line system which mainly executes regular jobs including apparatus for efficiently executing both regular jobs and irregular jobs

United States Patent US5095524

On-line system having a plurality of terminal equipments and host computers connectable to the terminal equipments, each host computer responsive to a job request from a terminal equipment being provided with an on-line process for transferring the control of the job request to a job execution process determined in accordance with the content of the job request, and a plurality of regular job execution processes for executing, if the job request is a regular job request, a regular job for the regular job request. The on-line control process is provided with an irregular job execution process space generating process for generating an irregular job execution process space for the irregular job execution. The irregular job execution process space generating process generates an irregular job execution process space upon the irregular job request from the terminal equipment, and calls an irregular job execution process request program for the irregular job request in the irregular job execution process space to execute an irregular job for the irregular job request.

Iluma: regular lights in irregular elements

United States Application US20100163450

Crystal Mesh is a new media facade.It consists of a tessellated pattern made of 3,000modules of deep-drawn polycarbonate covering a façade area of more than 5,000 m2. About 1,900 of these modules contain a regular matrix of compact fluorescent light tubes forming “active patches” within the façade. At night the light matrix superimposes the idiosyncratic physical structure of the white, crystalline daytime façade.
But the irregular arrangement of these patches – dividing the façade into areas with different resolutions – does not create a large, homogeneous screen in front of the building, but instead forms a more general impression of the building’s “medianess” as an addition to and an essential ingredient of its architecture.”



One of the things that is really like about Crystal Mesh is the way that realities:united have created a sculptural facade where each pixel is in fact not one pixel at all, but an animatable cluster of them. The result is a kind of sub-resolution, where each crystal in the mesh can act as one object, or it’s subpixels can be individually controlled to create a really unique movement of light across the surface of the facade.
In the crystal mesh project realities:united once again shy away from jumping on the LED bandwagon like (most of) the rest of the world, and stick with good old fluorescent lamps. The facade covers a total area of 5180m2 of which 2550m2 are equipped as a media installation. The installation is made up of 6069 individually controllable 36W fluorescent bulbs. Whilst that’s a hefty 234kW power consumption (theoretical maximum with all lamps on), in normal operation the actual brightness for grey scale images is limited by software to approx. 70% brightness resulting in a max. power consumption of 127kW. The estimated power consumption in typical operation mode is approx. 85kW equaling 0.03kW/m2 (29 Watts/m2).

Hawk Eye: regual and irregular score

The present invention is an article and process for determining the site of impact of a movable object on a treated surface, where a tennis ball is treated with a striking composition, and a boundary line region is treated with a receiving composition such that when the striking composition and the receiving composition are in physical contact, a calorimetric indicator is left on the receiving composition to indicate the point of contact.

Hawk-Eye is a complex computer system used in cricket, tennis and other sports to visually track the path of the ball and display a record of its most statistically likely path as a moving image.[1] In some sports, like tennis, it is now part of the adjudication process. It is also used in some instances to predict the future path of a ball in cricket. It was developed by engineers at Roke Manor Research Limited of Romsay, Hampshire in the UK, in 2001. A UK patent was submitted by Dr Paul Hawkins and David Sherry.
