| 20080217536 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus includes an electromagnetic wave radiating portion, an electromagnetic wave detecting portion, a driving portion, a periodical signal generating portion for generating plural periodical signals, a memory portion, a processing portion, and an image forming portion. The driving portion changes the relative positional relationship between an object and the radiating portion. The detecting portion acquires transmitted or reflected wave from the object, as a time-series detection signal. The processing portion executes a process of multiplying the detection signals of the areas of the object with the periodical signals, and a process of adding the multiplied results and causing the memory portion to store the added results. The image forming portion forms an image of at least a portion of the object, based on information stored in the memory portion corresponding to the periodical signals, after the acquisition of the time-series detection signal, and the processes executed by the processing portion are repeated plural times for the areas of the object. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080258063 | Vehicle threat detection system - A threat detection system for a light armored vehicle utilizes dual-purpose optical systems, the primary functions of which are maneuvering the vehicle, targeting and surveillance. Initial detection of a threat can occur with a wide field of view optical system fixed to a main turret of the vehicle system, where a signal from the wide field of view determines the direction of a threat and is then used to slew a narrow field of view optical system towards the threat. The direction of the threat is then further defined and sent to a very narrow field of view sensor used primarily with laser illumination. The very narrow field of view sensor has sufficient spatial resolution to detect both the threat and a launch platform for countering the threat. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080277585 | MONITORING APPARATUS - An imaging apparatus includes a camera unit, a panorama-image generating section generating a panorama image of the entire area by combining a plurality of unit images obtained by the camera unit, a panorama-image storage/management section storing and managing the panorama image generated by the panorama-image generating section, an infrared camera photographing an object that has a temperature falling within a preset temperature range as an infrared image, a direction controller sequentially shifting the photographing direction of the infrared camera within the area being photographed, an infrared-image generating section combining a plurality of infrared images provided by the infrared camera, an image-synthesizing section synthesizing the panorama image generated by the panorama-image generating section, with the panorama infrared image generated by the infrared-image generating section, and a display displaying the synthesized image generated by the image-synthesizing section. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090212217 | Scanning imaging device - A Terahertz scanning imaging device for imaging objects where the object is larger than the object to imager distance. The imager comprises scanning elements, sensors, and an image processor. The scanning elements are used to direct radiation to the sensors. Multiple scanning elements and sensors may be used, each scanning a portion of the field of view. The image processor, in communication with the sensors, generates a consolidated 2-dimensional image of a field of view. | 08-27-2009 |
