  • Patent number: 11592533
    Abstract: A Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) module for a vehicle can include a semiconductor integrated circuit with a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) and a substrate, the MEMS comprising a micro-mirror assembly including a mirror and a gimbal structure. The gimbal can be configured concentrically around and coplanar with the mirror. When rotated, the gimbal drives the mirror to oscillate at or near a resonant frequency and is coupled to the mirror via mirror-gimbal connectors. A support structure can be coupled to a backside of the mirror and gimbal structures and can increase the stiffness of the mirror to help the mirror better resist dynamic deformation. To limit the added rotational moment of inertia, the support structure can be etched to form a matrix of cells (e.g., formed by a mesh of circumferential and radial ridges) such that up to approximately 90% of the support structure material forming the support structure is removed.

  • Patent number: 11573427
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical viewing system and a method of aligning an eyepiece image and an image of a camera that is part of an optical viewing system, which enables both the observation of an optical image with one eye and the capturing of the optical image with the camera. The optical viewing system comprises an optical device, an eyepiece with field diaphragm, a beam splitter, and a camera with image capturing level. According to the method, an image mask is adjusted to the eyepiece image for the camera image of the camera as follows: The eyepiece is illuminated from its side facing away from the optical device, and light passes through the eyepiece to the beam splitter so that the light is partially reflected from the first semi-reflective surface to the second semi-reflective surface and from the second semi-reflective surface to the camera, resulting in the camera capturing an image of the field diaphragm of the eyepiece as a light spot on the image capturing level.
