20130153769 | DEWAR ASSEMBLY FOR IR DETECTION SYSTEMS - A dewar assembly is presented for use in an optical IR detection system defining a light collecting region. The dewar assembly comprises a warm shield unit configured as an enclosure for optically enclosing the light collection region and having an optical window through which incident light enters the dewar. The warm shield defines a reflective inner surface configured such that light portions of the incident light propagating through said optical window onto said inner surface are reflected by the inner surface towards regions outside said light collecting region. | 06-20-2013 |
20120261553 | DETECTOR PIXEL SIGNAL READOUT CIRCUIT AND AN IMAGING METHOD THEREOF - A pixel readout circuit for use with an imaging pixel array, comprising: an input channel for receiving an image signal corresponding to electrical output of a photosensitive element of the pixel; and an electronic circuit interconnected between said input channel and an output readout utility. The electronic circuit comprises a capacitive unit, and a single analyzer. The capacitive unit is controllably linked to input channel for accumulating charge corresponding to received intensity generated by said pixel during a single frame period, and is connected to output readout utility. The signal analyzer unit is controllably linked to input channel and connected to output readout utility, and is configured for analyzing at least a part of said image signal by determining change in amount of accumulated charge corresponding to the received intensity, and upon detecting that the amount of charge satisfies a predetermined condition generating data indicative of a detected event. | 10-18-2012 |
20120105646 | INFRA-RED IMAGER - An infrared (IR) imaging system is presented. The system includes a cooling chamber associated with a cooler generating a certain temperature condition inside the chamber. The cooling chamber has an optical window, and includes thereinside an IR detection unit including one or more detectors thermally coupled to the cooler and at least two cold shields thermally coupled to the cooler and carrying at least two imaging optical assemblies. The at least two imaging optical assemblies are enclosed by the cold shields in between the detection unit and the optical window and thereby define at least two different optical channels for imaging light from the optical window onto the one or more detectors of the detection unit. | 05-03-2012 |
