Publication number: 20190116347Abstract: Digital camera systems and methods are described that provide a color digital camera with direct luminance detection. The luminance signals are obtained directly from a broadband image sensor channel without interpolation of RGB data. The chrominance signals are obtained from one or more additional image sensor channels comprising red and/or blue color band detection capability. The red and blue signals are directly combined with the luminance image sensor channel signals. The digital camera generates and outputs an image in YCrCb color space by directly combining outputs of the broadband, red and blue sensors.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2018Publication date: April 18, 2019Inventors: Richard Ian Olsen, James Gates, Darryl L.

Patent number: 10142548Abstract: A method includes sampling a first intensity of light with a first array of photo detectors of a digital camera. A second intensity of light is sampled with a second array of photo detectors of the digital camera. A first channel processor coupled to the first array of photo detectors generates a first image using first array data which is representative of the first intensity of light sampled by the first array of photo detectors. A second channel processor coupled to the second array of photo detectors generates a second image using second array data which is representative of the second intensity of light sampled by the second array of photo detectors. The first array of photo detectors, the second array of photo detectors, the first channel processor, and the second channel processor are integrated on or in a semiconductor substrate.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2016Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: CALLAHAN CELLULAR L.L.C.Inventors: Richard Ian Olsen, Darryl L.

Publication number: 20170337413Abstract: A bio-sensor device, integrated with a display portion, includes a surface for touching by a body part, such as a finger. A light source, such as an array of LEDs, emit light through the surface so as to be reflected and partially absorbed by the body part An array of photodetectors detects light reflected back by the body part and generates signals corresponding to an image of the light reflection, which corresponds to the light absorption pattern in the body part. The light absorption pattern may correlate to a fingerprint, a blood vessel pattern, blood movement within the blood vessels, combinations thereof, or other biometric feature. A processor receives the signals from the photodetectors and analyzes the signals to determine a characteristic of the body part. The characteristic may be used to authenticate the user of the bio-sensor device by comparing the detected characteristic to a stored characteristic.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2017Publication date: November 23, 2017Inventors: Jerome Chandra Bhat, Richard Ian Olsen

Publication number: 20170336343Abstract: An electrochemical gas sensing element has a footprint of less than 5 mm×5 mm so the volume of electrolyte, the sizes of the electrodes, and the electrical interconnects are very small. This results in a fast stabilization after detecting gasses and enables rapid changes in bias voltage to target different gasses. The sensor body is ceramic, and the other components are stable at temperatures including solder reflow temperatures, thus allowing the use of conventional solder reflow techniques to mount the sensing element to a PCB. A sensor circuit is mounted on the sensing element body to detect the currents through the sensor electrode and digitally process the information, resulting in a more accurate analysis. The small size, low power consumption, and modularity allow the sensor element to be mounted in small handheld devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2017Publication date: November 23, 2017Inventors: Jerome Chandra Bhat, Richard Ian Olsen
