Patent number: 11425349Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: January 14, 2022Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Intellectual Ventures II LLCInventors: 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.

Patent number: 10061071Abstract: In various embodiments, a panel luminaire (300, 400, 500) may include a housing (302, 402) that frames a light aperture (304, 404), a linear substrate (308, 408) mounted to the housing along a first plane, at least one light source (306, 406) mounted along the linear substrate to emit light along the first plane, and a planar light guide (310, 410, 510) mounted to the housing parallel to the first plane. The planar light guide may include a light extraction feature (312) to extract light emitted by the at least one light source. In some embodiments, a portion (334) of a periphery (314) of the planar light guide may be curved to redirect light emitted by the at least one light source towards the light extraction feature. In some embodiments, the planar light guide and an aesthetic panel (418, 518) of the housing may be spaced apart to form a gap (420, 520) big enough to allow for the aesthetic panel to be three dimensional.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2016Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: PHILIPS LIGHTING HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Christo Philip Brand, Adrian John Frederick Weston, Ryan Robert James Gates, Kwong Hung Man
