Patents by Inventor Evan L. Erickson

Evan L. Erickson has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10404908
    Abstract: An imaging system includes multiple diffractive optical gratings disposed over a two-dimensional array of photosensitive pixels. The different gratings present different patterns and features that are tailored to produce point-spread responses that emphasize different properties of an imaged scene. The different responses are captured by the pixels, and data captured from the responses can be used separately or together to analyze aspects of the scene. The imaging systems can include circuitry to analyze the image data, and to support modes that select between point-spread responses, selections of the pixels, and algorithms for analyzing image data.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150340872
    Abstract: Electrical connector parts for combining power delivery and signaling in inductively coupled connectors are disclosed. According to one aspect, an electrical connector part includes a first mating connector face having disposed thereon a first set of inductors and also includes a mechanical interface that is configured to maintain the first mating connector face in closely spaced apart relation to a second mating conductor face having disposed thereon a second set of inductors. The mechanical interface is designed to prevent DC coupling and provide inductive AC coupling between at least one pair of inductors made up of one inductor from the first set of inductors and one inductor from the second set of inductors. The first set of inductors includes a power inductor of a first size for transferring power and a data inductor of a second size different from the first size for transferring data.
