Airborne Imaging Spectrometry System And Method
US Patent:
2005010, May 19, 2005
Filed:
Sep 17, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/943773
Inventors:
Benjamin Terry - Greenville SC, US
David Flanders - Pottstown PA, US
David Flanders - Pottstown PA, US
International Classification:
G01S013/00
US Classification:
342195000
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to an airborne imaging spectrometry method and system. According to the present invention, a digital airborne imaging spectrometer is provided aboard an aircraft and is used to collect hyperspectral imagery of an area of interest while the aircraft flies over the area of interest. The method and system of the present invention combine (1) real-time display, aboard an aircraft, of the hyperspectral imagery being collected for an area of interest below the aircraft with (2) transmission of such hyperspectral imagery to a remote location, wherein such imagery is received at the remote location in near real-time. When hyperspectral imagery and related data are received from the aircraft at the remote location, the transmitted hyperspectral imagery and related data are useful at the remote location in time-sensitive or time-critical decision making. Forest fires, infestations of vegetation, and law enforcement scenarios such as counter-narcotic operations are examples of situations in which time-sensitive or time-critical decision making may be necessary and in which the airborne imaging spectrometry system and method of the present invention may be used.
Multiband Infrared Imaging Device
US Patent:
7906763, Mar 15, 2011
Filed:
Aug 4, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/221410
Inventors:
Arthur H. Mengel - Reading PA, US
David R. Flanders - Pottstown PA, US
David R. Flanders - Pottstown PA, US
International Classification:
G01J 5/00
US Classification:
2503381
Abstract:
A multiband infrared imaging intensifier device which includes an infrared radiation transmitting lens, for transmitting infrared radiation from an object scene onto a quantum ferroelectric copolymer detector with a chopper between them, with the detector responsive to the infrared detection to generate signal electrons which are pulled off and accelerated by an electric field onto a phosphor surface which produces photons to provide an image.
Acousto-Optic Coupler For Glide Slope Control Systems
US Patent:
4209767, Jun 24, 1980
Filed:
Mar 3, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/773883
Inventors:
David R. Flanders - Pottstown PA
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G08G 500, H04B 900
US Classification:
340 26
Abstract:
An acousto-optic coupler for enhancing safety and control of glide slope ection between approaching aircraft and carrier landing facilities. Aircraft engine noise is mechanically coupled through the airframe to modulate light beam signals generated by an aircraft landing light. An optical receiver on board the carrier receives the modulated light beam which is detected, filtered and amplified to produce an output signal from an acoustic transducer. The acoustic output signal is monitored by landing personnel for changes in engine noise responsive to carrier originated commands for glide slope control.
