Abstract: Security systems may include sensing, networked communications, stealth, alarms, and countermeasures, any or all of which may adapt to threats. These systems may also include armor and barriers of concrete and/or steel. They can adapt to severity of threats, weather, and/or other situational aspects. They can anticipate at least some threats in order to obtain early warning and react more quickly to those threats. They can adapt by altering their configurations, including alterations in communication networking structures and methods, and changes in data-storage and processing duties at processing nodes. Defensive and/or offensive countermeasures can be employed to deter, confuse, trap, and/or disable terrorists. The systems are capable of self-maintenance, self-healing, and self-restoration as threats subside. The systems can include subsystems capable of autonomous operation. At least some of the systems and/or their subsystems are capable of allocating power among subsystems, and of regulating bandwidth utilizations.

Abstract: Determinations of velocity and navigation of an imaging device relative to a region of interest are based on double correlation processing. A time series of images of detectable features within the region of interest is acquired and correlated with previously stored location information for uniquely distinguishing locations within the region of interest. Thus, one correlation step is to compare the positions of features within the time series with the previously stored location information. The other correlation step is to track the variations in positions of the features within the time series. Preferably, the imaged features that are used for correlation are randomly distributed. However, in some applications, a known systematic distribution of features may be used. The processing is applicable to hand scanning, robotic control, and similar operations.

Abstract: A method and device for acquiring data related to topography of a medium includes projecting light, allowably from more than one direction, onto the surface of the medium at an angle of less than sixteen degrees relative to the surface and imaging the surface. For example, the imaging sensor may be an array of sensor elements that is used to determine navigation of a hand-held scanner along an original. By introducing light at an angle of less than sixteen degrees, surface irregularities cast shadows that form a high contrast illumination pattern along the surface of the medium. The navigation sensor detects multi-element variations of intensity of scattered light from the surface with respect to positions along the surface, so that the Nyquist criteria are adequately satisfied. Typically, the light is collimated incoherent light, but this is not critical. The illumination angle can be established by using a prism. The prism may have an antireflective thin film coating on one or more prism faces. The employment of a prism provides a number of advantages, such as use of a transparent surface in contact with the media and raising the illumination source(s) away from the media.

Abstract: A surface analysis scanner system includes calibration targets, which include a target substrate and a film covering the surface of the target substrate which is scanned by the surface scanner. The film is antireflective to the particular scanned light. Particles which contaminate the antireflectance film on the substrate do not scatter sufficient light to be detected by the surface analysis scanner detectors and thus do not interfere with the calibration of the scanner. The calibration targets may include reference features which are etched into the substrate surface or deposited on the antireflectance coated substrate surface which scatter light in a manner similar to particles on a surface. The reference features may also be imbedded in a transparent material supported by the antireflectance coated substrate with a second antireflectance film coating the upper surface of the transparent material. A surface analysis scanner system may also include a support structure for supporting an object to be scanned, an aperture structure, and a light trap structure for blocking the scanned light. Each structure includes a substrate having a coating of antireflectance film. A surface analysis scanner system may also include methods, utilizing antireflectance films, for reducing the amount of scanned light scattered by particles on a scanner system surface.

Abstract: A laser transmitter emits a beam which scans about a scanning axis to effect a curtain of light which defines a boundary of a working space. Photosensors mounted on the outboard portion of a crane or other construction equipment generate warning signals to the construction equipment operator and other nearby personnel whenever these photosensors move into the light curtain. Additional curtain sensing equipment positioned to intercept the rotating laser beam with each cycle of rotation develops an alarm signal which activates an alarm horn and/or alarm light whenever the laser transmitter fails to provide the light curtain. The additional curtain sensing equipment is mounted an appropriate distance from the laser transmitter so that such additional sensing equipment will not interfere with the reception of the light curtain by the photosensors on the crane, and the laser transmitter and the additional curtain sensing equipment are mounted several feet above the ground to prevent foot traffic and vehicle traffic from producing false indications of a laser transmitter failure by intercepting the light curtain.

Abstract: Barrier elements provide security from terrorist threats by ability to withstand both vehicle collisions and explosive blasts. Each barrier element is prefabricated to include a massive block of durable material, preferably of high strength concrete, with at least one tunnel extending at least partially between respective cavities in two opposite sides of the block. Each barrier element also includes at least one beam that is preferably made of steel and extends through one such tunnel. Multiple blocks are positionable slidably on top of the ground side-against-side with their beams coupled longitudinally to one another at least approximately end-to-end. Retainer means can be used to block coupling means from entry into the tunnels. Forces from a vehicle collision or an explosive blast can cause barrier elements to rotate relative to one-another when the couplings between beams hinge or bend as the durable material that interferes with the rotation breaks away.

Abstract: New methods of manufacture are disclosed for producing side-polished fiber-optic apparatuses, for use both singly and in compact arrays. These new methods involve process steps, many of which operate on many apparatus units simultaneously, with little additional manual labor over what is required to produce one unit at a time. High level assemblies of these fiber-optic apparatuses are also disclosed as compact arrays that not only save space but allow for easy interconnection. Examples of apparatuses that can be made with the disclosed integrated side-polished fiber-optic technology include, but aren't limited to, couplers, multiplexers, taps, splitters, joiners, filters, modulators and switches. By interconnecting elements within compact integrated arrays of these apparatuses, complicated photonic circuits can be readily constructed.

Abstract: Presented are structures and methods by which to align fiber optics side-by-side or end-to-end; to align fiber optics to features in supporting substrates or to objects on supporting substrates; and to align substrates to one another. Alignment grooves are included with particular properties that permit the groove to participate in the moving of a fiber into alignment. A fiber is used in a tapered channel as an alignment key enabling accurate tuning of an optical coupling ratio and efficiency of fiber-optic side-polished couplers, multiplexers, taps, splitters, joiners, filters, modulators and switches. Substrates made of crystal are presented having variable-width grooves and in some cases also variable-depth grooves which form guiding and constraining pathways for fiber optics. The reader will readily appreciate the novel structures and methods applicable to realize manufacturable fiber optics to perform all-fiber photonic functions.
