  • Patent number: 12044862
    Abstract: A system includes a high energy laser (HEL) configured to transmit a HEL beam and a beacon illumination laser (BIL) configured to transmit a BIL beam. The system also includes at least one fast steering mirror (FSM) configured to steer the BIL beam to be offset from the HEL beam. The system further includes at least one Coudé path FSM configured to correct for atmospheric jitter of the HEL beam and the BIL beam while maintaining the offset of the BIL beam from the HEL beam.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11567341
    Abstract: A system includes a high energy laser (HEL) configured to transmit a HEL beam aimed at a first location on an airborne target. The system also includes a beacon illuminator laser (BIL) configured to transmit a BIL beam aimed at a second location on the target, wherein the second location is offset from the first location. The system also includes at least one fast steering mirror (FSM) configured to steer the BIL beam to be spatially and angularly offset from the HEL beam. The system also includes at least one Coudé path FSM configured to simultaneously receive both the HEL beam and the BIL beam and steer the HEL beam and the BIL beam to correct for atmospheric jitter of the HEL beam and the BIL beam while maintaining the offset of the BIL beam from the HEL beam.

  • Publication number: 20210255449
    Abstract: A telescope includes a primary mirror, a secondary mirror configured to move along a first axis, and a tertiary mirror configured to move along a second axis. The secondary and tertiary mirrors are configured to move along respective axes in a synchronized manner to focus a beam of electromagnetic radiation from the primary mirror. The telescope further may include an anamorphic deformable mirror configured to achieve wavefront control and correction of optical aberrations. The telescope further may include a first linear actuator configured to move the secondary mirror along the first axis and a second linear actuator configured to move the tertiary mirror along the second axis.

  • Patent number: 10733633
    Abstract: Techniques for monitoring an online video advertisement system include receiving a request for insertion of an online video advertisement, determining, selectively based on presence of a debug suffix, whether the request includes a debug request, performing a bidding auction to select a winning bid, and sending debug information, in response to the request, upon determination that the request includes the debug request. The debug data includes bid data received during the bidding auction. In one advantageous aspect, the use of hypertext transfer protocol headers to communicate debug information allows for activation and deactivation of the debugging operation transparently, e.g., without changing the underlying application layer workflow.

  • Publication number: 20140324603
    Abstract: A digital media advertisement delivery system comprising a real time bidding (RTB) platform and a plurality of bidder computers. The RTB platform is configured to receive an indication of an opportunity to display a digital media advertisement to a consumer, and generating a bid request for auctioning the opportunity to a plurality of bidders, the bid request comprising a plurality of fields including information about the opportunity. The plurality of bidder computers are configured to receive the bid request comprising a first plurality of fields including information about the opportunity, decide, based on the received information in the plurality of fields, whether or not to bid, and send a bid response, when decision is to bid, comprising a second plurality of response fields, at least some of which include information in direct response to the first plurality of fields.
