Publication number: 20220038644Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to devices and methods for synchronizing capturing of spectral images with the capturing of thermal images. A thermal imaging device of an aerial vehicle captures a sequence of thermal image of thermal images. Capturing of spectral images by a spectral imaging device of the aerial vehicle is synchronized with the capturing of the thermal images. Irradiance data indicative of a background temperature is sensed. A digital surface model of an area of interest is generated based on the sequence of spectral images. An emissivity of a target is estimated and a temperature of a pixel of the digital surface model of the target is estimated based on the sequence of thermal images, the irradiance data indicative of the background temperature and the estimated emissivity of the target.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2019Publication date: February 3, 2022Applicant: MicaSense, Inc.Inventors: Justin McAllister, Jefferson McBride, Gabriel Eduardo Torres, David Swartzendruber

Publication number: 20210375310Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to a base and related methods for write and read heads. In one example, the base and related methods are used as part of a magnetic storage device, for example a magnetic media drive such as a hard disk drive (HDD) or a magnetic tape drive (e.g., a tape embedded drive). The base includes one or more base bodies formed of a ceramic material. Each base body includes an inward surface, an outward surface opposing the inward surface, a lower surface, and an angled upper surface disposed above the lower surface. Each base body includes a vertical opening extending between the upper surface and the lower surface. In one example, two base bodies are bonded together. In one example, the two base bodies combine to form a single base body of the base that is monolithic and unitary.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2020Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventors: Eduardo TORRES, Oscar RUIZ, Kenji KUROKI
