Abstract: Conventional electro-optical imaging systems can not achieve wide field of view (FOV) and high spatial resolution imaging simultaneously due to format size limitations of image sensor arrays. To implement wide field of regard imaging with high resolution, mechanical scanning mechanisms are typically used. Still, sensor data processing and communication speed is constrained due to large amount of data if large format image sensor arrays are used. This invention describes an electro-optical imaging system that achieves wide FOV global imaging for suspect object detection and local high resolution for object recognition and tracking. It mimics foveated imaging property of human eyes. There is no mechanical scanning for changing the region of interest (ROI). Two relatively small format image sensor arrays are used to respectively acquire global low resolution image and local high resolution image. The ROI is detected and located by analysis of the global image.

Abstract: This invention describes a novel coding and implementation techniques for high-speed high-density optical disk data storage. Multiple narrowband spectral beams, either coherent or non-coherent, are combined together by optical fiber couplers or lenses assembly and are then focused into a photosensitive film with diffraction limited spot size through a specially designed hybrid diffractive/refractive lens with extended depth of focus, so that the beam size remains diffraction limited size in the whole depth of the recording medium volume. Multiple reflection gratings which are respectively corresponding to these used spectral bands are recorded in the medium through interferences between the incident beams and the reflected beams from a reflection mirror which is attached at the back surface of the recording film.

Abstract: A lens includes a diffractive surface having an etched structure and a refractive surface having a curved structure. The lens reduces chromatic aberration of incident light and extends depth of focus. In one alternative, the etched structure is a calculated phase pattern or a pattern that is embossed or diamond tuned. In another alternative, the curved structure is convex shaped or concave shaped. In yet another alternative, the lens is an imaging lens wherein high lateral resolution of incident light is preserved.

Abstract: An ideal filament preheat technique in flourescence lamp is supplied by an adjusting circuit, an output circuit and a control circuit. At the filament preheating stage, an adequate preheating voltage is provided for the filament of the lamp tube, and the voltage cross over both ends of the lamp tube is reduced, thereby preventing glow current in preheating. When the preheating stage is finished and starting stage begins, the voltage between both ends of the lamp tube increases simultaneously, and then reaches a break-down voltage of the lamp tube, then the lamp tube is lit to enter a normal operation stage, the preheating voltage of the filament is cutoff under the control circuit, so as to save the filament power consumption. Therefore, the efficiency of the electronic ballast is improved, and the operation life of the flourescent lamp tube is extended.

Abstract: An electronic ballast includes a power supply circuit comprising an electromagnetic compatible filter circuit, a rectifier circuit, a power factor correcting circuit, a DC filter circuit, and a DC/AC converter circuit connected successively, wherein: the electronic ballast further includes an adjusting circuit, an output circuit, and a control circuit. At a preheating stage, a preheating voltage is provided to the filament of the lamp tube, and the voltage applied between both ends of the lamp tube is reduced at the preheating stage, thereby preventing glow discharge in preheating from occurring. At a starting stage, the voltage between both ends of the lamp tube increases instantly, and reaches a break-down voltage of the lamp tube, at this time the lamp tube is lit, entering a normal operation stage and the preheating voltage of the filament is removed via the control circuit, so as to make the filament power consumption in conventional electronic ballast non-existent when the lamp tube operates normally.
