20100046953 | Agile-beam laser array transmitter - An Agile-Beam Laser Array Transmitter (ABLAT) uses an array of emitters and an array of lenses to project electromagnetic beams over a wide angular coverage area in the far field. Differences in the separation pitches of the two arrays allows the ABLAT to project beams to contiguous and/or overlapping positions, depending on the ratio of the separation pitches and the lens focal length. Compared to other beam steering technology, the ABLAT is a smaller, lighter, and more efficient means of projecting beams over wider angular coverage areas. Various embodiments can be used in any beam steering application, including, but not limited to: free-space optical communications; light detection and ranging (lidar); optical scanning (e.g., retinal or bar-code scanning); display projection; image capture; optical character recognition; scanning laser microscopy; non-destructive testing; printing; facsimiles; map making; web inspection; color print processing; phototypesetting and platemaking; laser marking; material processing; DNA analysis; and drug discovery. | 02-25-2010 |
20120169842 | IMAGING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMMERSIVE SURVEILLANCE - Security guards at large facilities, such as airports, monitor multiple screens that display images from individual surveillance cameras dispersed throughout the facility. If a guard zooms with a particular camera, he may lose image resolution, along with perspective on the surrounding area.

When properly mounted, example ISIS systems offer up to 360-degree, 240-megapixel views on a single screen. (Other fields of view and resolutions are also possible.) Image-stitching software merges multiple video feeds into one scene. The system also allows operators to tag and follow targets, and can monitor restricted areas and sound an alert when intruders breach them. | 07-05-2012 |

20130003911 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR IN-PIXEL FILTERING IN FOCAL PLANE ARRAYS - Digital focal plane arrays (DFPAs) with multiple counters per unit cell can be used to convert analog signals to digital data and to filter the digital data.

20080310119 | Clip on heat sink - A heat sink according to an embodiment of the present invention can be attached to any device without printed circuit board (PCB) modification. The heat sink may clamp on device edges, which does not stress solder balls between the device and heat sink. The heat sink may be configured to be installed to or removed from the device without special tools. The heat sink may be extruded, machined, or die cast aluminum or other material to reduce part and tooling cost, and may be black anodized to be electrically non-conductive. A single-piece embodiment eliminates a need for a separate clip, thereby increasing heat transfer by as much as twenty-five percent or more over heat sinks employing clips. Further, wavy fins or other heat dissipation configurations may increase heat transfer by at least eleven percent, for a total heat transfer improvement of at least thirty-six percent over a two-part heat sink. | 12-18-2008 |
20090027859 | Surface mounted heat sink and electromagnetic shield - A single-piece, high performance, inexpensively fabricated heat sink and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield makes thermal contact with a heat generating device.

The heat sink attaches directly to a printed circuit board (PCB), thus not stressing ball grid array (BGA) solder joints between the heat generating device and the PCB in applications with BGAs. The heat sink does not require any special tools for installation or removal nor any additional PCB space. The heat sink is designed to allow automated surface mounting techniques, such as pick and place. The single-piece construction eliminates the need for a separate clip, thereby increasing heat transfer area. | 01-29-2009 |
