Gaylon R. Lovelace 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).

  • Publication number: 20220381887
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include techniques for synchronizing certain components within a light scanning system in order to align periodicities and efficiently produce more reliable scan frames. For instance, embodiments include an optical source to transmit an optical beam modulated at a first periodicity, and an optical scanner to direct the optical beam at a second periodicity, and a signal processing system to perform periodic temporal alignments between the first periodicity and the second periodicity to produce stable grid points in region of interest (ROI). The system effectively removes the unaligned grid points and can be applied to any light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems or other optical scanning applications.
