Patent number: 11805315Abstract: A nightvision system includes an underlying device that provides output light in a first spectrum. A transparent optical device transmits light in the first spectrum from the underlying device through the transparent optical device. The transparent optical device includes an active area of a semiconductor chip. The active area includes active elements that cause the underlying device to detect light from the underlying device and transparent regions formed in the active area which are transparent to the light in the first spectrum to allow light in the first spectrum to pass through from the underlying device to a user. An image processor processes images produced using light detected by the first plurality of active elements. An autofocus mechanism coupled to the image processor focuses the input light into the underlying device based on image processing performed by the image processor.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: L3HARRIS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: James A. LeBeau, Jay Scott Tucker, Jon D. Burnsed

Patent number: 7021522Abstract: Mating faces of a microchannel plate (MCP) (50) and a multi-layer ceramic body (80) unit are deposited with a thin film having protuberances (84) using a suitable metal selected for optimum diffusion at a desired temperatures and pressure. The metallized MCP (50) and multi-layer ceramic body (80) unit are then aligned and placed in a bonding fixture (F) that provides the necessary force applied to the components to initiate a diffusion bond at a desired elevated temperature. The bonding fixture (F) is then placed in a vacuum heat chamber (V) to accelerate the diffusion bonding process between the MCP (50) and the multi-layer ceramic body unit (80).Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2005Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Litton Systems, Inc.Inventors: Niels F. Jacksen, Michael J. Iosue, Miguel M. Saldana, Jay Scott Tucker

Patent number: 7015641Abstract: A faceplate (F) for an image intensifier tube (10) for reducing veiling glare begins as a blank (36) of optical material of a desired glass composition having a shape that conforms substantially to a configuration of the faceplate (F) to be produced. An extraneous removable aperture step portion (54) is formed on the glass blank (36). The glass blank is blackened (41) and the aperture step portion (54) is removed creating a desired transmissive aperture (34) through the glass blank (36).Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2004Date of Patent: March 21, 2006Assignee: Litton Systems, Inc.Inventor: Jay Scott Tucker
