Patent number: 12638594Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to improving measurement of metrics of air data of an atmosphere outside an aircraft. Such measurements are improved by estimating a daylight portion of light received by an optical receiver configured to receive a reflected portion of the projected beam backscattered by the atmosphere. Estimation of the daylight portion is performed using a daylight filter. The daylight filter receives the light received by the optical receiver after it has been filtered by a vapor cell filter and separates the light, as filtered, into a beam sampling portion and a complementary non-sampling portion. The non-beam sampling portion includes wavelengths immediately adjacent to the beam sampling portion. The non-beam sampling portion is used to estimate the daylight portion within the beam sampling portion, which also contains the reflected portion of the projected beam used for calculating the metrics of air data.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2023Date of Patent: May 26, 2026Assignee: Rosemount Aerospace Inc.Inventors: Joshua A.

Patent number: 12631757Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a lower energy/faster time of flight camera system configured to measure distance to an object. The system is configured to emit laser light modulated with a first frequency and image light reflected by an object in order to determine a first phase difference between the emitted and reflected light. It then emits laser light modulated with a second frequency and images light reflected by the object to determine a second phase difference between the emitted and reflected light. The distance to the object is determined using the first and second phase differences. The system operates at lower energy for obtaining the first phase difference compared with the operation to obtain the second phase difference. This results in lower overall energy consumption, and potentially also faster overall operation, compared with previous continuous wave time of flight systems, without any significant reduction in accuracy of imaging.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2024Date of Patent: May 19, 2026Assignee: Analog Devices International Unlimited CompanyInventors: Jonathan Ephraim David Hurwitz, Krystian Balicki, Eoin E.
