  • Patent number: 8742887
    Abstract: A system for biometric exclusion of certain individuals from entering a facility. A biometric exclusion system may use biometric acquisition and matching and a database to screen a large population of subjects by looking for individuals enrolled in a database. A screening approach may be used to match biometrics having sufficient quality of any individuals attempting to enter the facility, relative to biometrics of individuals stored in the database. A biometric, such as that of a face or an iris, of an individual may be obtained with the individual's knowledge or cooperation. The database may have biographical information pertinent to an individual having a biometric in the database. There may be an associated system which may be used to enroll individuals by entering their biometrics in the database.

  • Patent number: 8120642
    Abstract: A swept distance between a subject and a plurality of cameras provides a plurality of raw images. Focused portions of the raw images are fused to generate a synthetic image and a distance image. A projection of the synthetic image and the distance image yields a panoramic image.

  • Patent number: 6492931
    Abstract: An electronic countermeasures system wherein part of the system is contained within the aircraft to be protected and part in an expendable decoy. Signals from enemy radars are received on-board the aircraft to be protected, processed and transmitted to the expendable decoy where the received signals are further processed and transmitted to the enemy radar to cause the enemy radar to track the decoy target.

  • Patent number: 4013885
    Abstract: A sun tracking servo system is disclosed in which individual mirrors are tilted to redirect incoming sunlight towards a solar energy receiver. Mirror steering is accomplished by providing the mirror with a central aperture and/or lens to form images of both the sun and receiver behind the mirror and by lining up the IR image of the solar receiver with a reflection of the image of the sun from a reflecting back surface of the mirror by rotating the mirror about its central aperture. Image alignment is detected by a sensor behind the mirror which is in line with the aperture and the receiver. Each mirror is provided with a projection screen type imaging surface affixed to and spaced from the back side of the main mirror onto which an image of the sun is formed.

  • Patent number: 3961535
    Abstract: Compensation for spin rate variation of an inertial measurement device comprising at least one translational acceleration transducer which is spun is achieved by passing the output signal from the translational acceleration transducer(s) through a circuit which has a frequency response inversely proportional to frequency.
