摘要： An apparatus for multi-spectral imaging includes a microbolometer array comprising a two-dimensional array of microbolometer detectors that are configured to respond to energy having a first range of wavelengths comprising a first plurality of spectral bands. The apparatus also includes a wideband window configured to allow energy having a second range of wavelengths to reach the microbolometer array. The second range of wavelengths comprises a second plurality of spectral bands. The apparatus additionally includes optics configured to focus the energy from a scene towards the microbolometer array. The apparatus further includes a processor configured to generate an output based on a response of the microbolometer array to energy having a third range of wavelengths comprising a third plurality of spectral bands. There is substantial overlap between the first, second, and third range of wavelengths and the first, second, and third plurality of spectral bands.

摘要： According to one embodiment, a computing system includes two or more opto-electrical isolators coupling a corresponding two or more memory devices to a processor. Each memory device is electrically isolated from each other and configured to store data or instructions executed by the processor. Each opto-electrical isolator selectively couples its associated memory device to the processor such that only one of the two or more memory devices are writable by the processor at any instant of time.

摘要： Multi-spectral images are detected using a refractive objective lens system. Magnesium oxide (MgO) and calcium fluoride (CaF2) lenses are used to image scenes in both the visible and infra-red (IR) spectrums. The inventors have discovered that the combination of magnesium oxide, only recently made available in a pure crystal form, and calcium fluoride can be used to fabricate an objective lens for imaging objects in both the visible and infra-red spectrums. Moreover, the combination of magnesium oxide and calcium fluoride results in a super-achromatic condition across visible and infra-red spectrums. This chromatically-corrected spectral range includes wavelengths between 0.4 and 5.9 microns which covers medium-wave IR (MWIR), short-wave IR (SWIR), and the near-IR/visible windows. Combinations of MgO and CaF2 lenses are used in different compound objective lens designs including doublet, Petzval, inverted telephoto, and telephoto arrangements. Visible and/or IR applications for the multi-spectral objective lens system include telescopes, reconnaissance planes, satellites, forward-looking IR (FLIR) and staring sensor systems, night-vision goggles, and other optic and/or electro-optic detection systems.
