  • Geospatial data collection system with a look ahead sensor and associated methods
    Patent number: 10656250
    Abstract: A geospatial data collection system is for an aerial vehicle and includes a data collection light detection and ranging (LiDAR) device and a protection LiDAR device. The data collection LiDAR device is configured to collect geospatial data as the aerial vehicle moves along a collection path. The protection LiDAR device is configured to sense a geospatial area ahead of the data collection LiDAR device. The data collection LiDAR device is switchable from an operating mode to a protected mode based upon the protection LiDAR device.

  • System for controlling image quality in processing radiographic photothermographic sheet media
    Publication number: 20060197994
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling image quality in processing radiographic photothermographic sheet media. A cassette removably contains radiographic photothermographic sheet media and also has an information member. The information member stores information including size of the sheet media stored in the cassette and calibrated conditions for processing the sheet media. A thermal media processor processes an exposed sheet media in accordance with the calibrated processing conditions.
