Abstract: The invention pertains generally to image processing. More specifically, the invention relates to the processing of sensor imagery using generated imagery. Embodiments of the invention include receiving sensor data, vehicle data, GPS data and accessing a database to obtain a pre-stored image of a target area. The pre-stored image of the target area may then be pre-processed by transforming the image into a warped coordinate system and adding visual effects to create projection image of the target area. The projection image may then be compared to a current image of the target area to determine a three-dimensional location of a target located in the target area. Additional embodiments of the invention include the use of a feedback loop for refinement and correction of results and/or the use of parallel processors to speed processing.

Abstract: A method according to a first aspect may include performing a first analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion using an A/D converter. Data associated with this first A/D conversion may be read using a processor. A command may then be issued from a processor when the reading of the data has started. This command may instruct the A/D converter to perform a second A/D conversion. This data may then be stored in a data structure located within a memory device while the A/D converter is performing the second A/D conversion. In addition to performing such pipelined A/D conversions, the present invention may include a system, method and software for filtering out noise in a voltage measurement after the voltage measurement has been converted to a digital signal by omitting the highest and lowest voltage values and averaging the remainder of the voltage values, thereby reducing noise in the voltage measurements.

Abstract: A fast, accurate and reliable sensor applicable to chemical and biological analytes resides in an optical grating-based sensor, sensing system, and method of use. The sensor, configured for use with an illumination source and a signal detector in the system embodiment, includes first and second periodic diffraction gratings superimposed and shifted laterally relative to each other by a distance of less than one period, such that the illumination from the source is affected by both gratings before reaching the detector. An analyte recognition material disposed on a surface of the second diffraction grating. In operation, the output of the detector is first used to establish a baseline optical phase signal. The analyte recognition material is exposed to a sample, and the output of the detector is used to to determine a second optical phase signal. The baseline optical phase signal is compared to the second optical phase signal to detect the presence of the analyte, if any, in the sample. The analyte recognition material may be an antibody, nucleic acid, lectin or other substance. The sample may obtained from a mammal, including a human, plant, or the environment.

Abstract: A system and method are presented for determining the detection and location of persons and objects using ultrasonic acoustic sensors. The system allows detection of stationary and moving persons and other objects, through atmospheric conditions, to a distance of at least 300 feet.

Abstract: A bi-static continuous wave radar system and related methods for detecting incoming threats from ballistic projectiles includes a remote source of RF illumination, and a local receiver installed in one or more target aircraft. A first receiving channel acquires direct path illumination from the source and provides a reference signal, and a second receiving channel acquires a scatter signal reflected by a projectile. A processor coupled to each receiver corrects scatter signal Doppler offset induced by relative source motion, isolates narrowband Doppler signals to derive signatures characteristic of the projectile, and by executing appropriate algorithms, compares the derived signatures to modeled signatures stored in memory. If the comparison yields a substantial similarity, the processor outputs a warning signal sufficient to initiate defensive countermeasures.

Abstract: Techniques are used to determine when interfering beams of light are precisely aligned at the core of the fiber when a laser interferometer is used to burn diffraction gratings into optical fibers. Two alternative methods are disclosed for performing this function, namely, refraction of the UV fluorescence through the fiber onto a paper or screen, and alternately interrupting the left and right UV beams, then directly observing the fluorescence pattern of the UV beam on the fiber core to determine alignment.

An analyte recognition material may be disposed on the surface of the first grating. A detector may be configured to receive light form the coherent light source after the light has been diffracted from the first diffraction grating and modulated by the MEMS. In another embodiment of the present invention, the grating sensor may be configured to operate in two modes. The first mode may be a mode the detect a phase change in the light due to a binding event. The second mode may include the detection of fluorescence due to a binding event and may employ tagging of the analytes.
