  • Patent number: 11855673
    Abstract: Described herein are radio tray assemblies that include space for a specific radio and its power supply and that additionally provide cooling and power conversion and control functionalities. The disclosed radio tray assemblies are designed to have a form factor compatible with legacy radio systems (e.g., MIDS-LVT) while enabling installation of a new radio system (e.g., MIDS-JTRS). The disclosed radio tray assemblies are configured so that the radio and its power supply are secured to a tray so that the radio and power supply are side-by-side and parallel lengthwise. A cooling module or assembly of the disclosed radio tray assemblies is disposed immediately behind the radio and its power supply and is configured to cool these units using forced air cooling directed lengthwise through the radio and its power supply. A power converter and controller module converts input power into the power required by the radio power supply.

  • Patent number: 11830407
    Abstract: A fault-tolerant display system includes a dual thin film transistor (TFT) panel with pixel cells having two independently-controlled switching transistors; as such, primary source and gate drivers are operative to drive the display with first TFT transistors, while secondary source and gate drivers are operative to drive the display with second TFT transistors. As the display incorporates an additional TFT within the pixel cell which is driven independently, reliability is increased even at the pixel level. In this way, individual pixels of the LCD panel are driven simultaneously and independently by two pairs of source drivers and gate drivers, such that if one of the driver pairs fails due to some fault, the other driver pair can continue to drive the LCD panel without loss of information despite the failure of the first driver pair.

  • Patent number: 11410419
    Abstract: An enhanced vision system includes a first optic subsystem and a transparent photodetector subsystem disposed within a common housing. The first optic subsystem may include passive devices such as simple or compound lenses, active devices such as low-light enhancing image intensifiers, or a combination of passive and active devices. The transparent photodetector subsystem receives the visible image exiting the first optic subsystem and converts a portion of the electromagnetic energy in the visible image to a signal communicated to image analysis circuitry. On a real-time or near real-time basis, the image analysis circuitry detects and identifies structures, objects, and/or individuals in the visible image. The image analysis circuitry provides an output that includes information regarding the structure, objects, and individuals to the system user contemporaneous with the system user viewing the visible image.
