Publication number: 20230043866Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and devices for cleaning a surface of a substrate having a layer of dust disposed thereon by ejecting at least a portion of the dust from the surface. The methods comprise irradiating the layer of dust with an electron beam, such that the electron beam irradiates a particle thereby inducing said particle to emit a plurality of secondary electrons; wherein at least a portion of the plurality of secondary electrons impinge two or more neighboring particles to thereby generate a secondary charge on the two or more neighboring particles, wherein the secondary charge on the two or more neighboring particles creates an electrostatic repulsive force between said particles, wherein the electrostatic repulsive force is sufficient to eject said particles from the surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2022Publication date: February 9, 2023Inventors: Xu Wang, Mihaly Horanyi, Benjamin Farr, Inseob Hahn, Ulf Israelsson, John Goree

Patent number: 8913134Abstract: An initialization method for an inertial sensor that estimates starting orientation and velocity without requiring the sensor to start at rest or in a well-known location or orientation. Initialization uses patterns of motion encoded as a set of soft constraints that are expected to hold approximately during an initialization period. Penalty metrics are defined to measure the deviation of calculated motion trajectories from the soft constraints. Differential equations of motion for an inertial sensor are solved with the initial conditions as variables; the initial conditions that minimize the penalty metrics are used as estimates for the actual initial conditions of the sensor. Soft constraints and penalty metrics for a specific application are chosen based on the types of motion patterns expected for this application. Illustrative cases include applications with relatively little movement during initialization, and applications with approximately periodic motion during initialization.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2014Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Blast Motion Inc.Inventors: John Goree, Bhaskar Bose, Piyush Gupta

Patent number: 8485085Abstract: Allows for the assignment of threat(s) to weapon(s) to allow operators to coordinate actions. Enables dynamic discovery and operation weapon(s), sensor(s) over a local or public network so available weapons can be selected by operators. Sensors may act as simulated weapons and may also reside in a video surveillance system (VSS). Sensors may be collocated or away from weapons which may differ in number. Sensors simulating weapons are transparently interchangeable with actual weapons. Simulated actors and events may be injected into system with operator gestures recorded for later analysis. Operator may control more than one weapon or sensor at a time. Operator user interface may be cloned onto another computer for real-time supervision or for later use. Integration of existing VSS with a network of remotely operated weapons or simulated weapons enables a passive video surveillance system upgrade to become a projector of lethal or non-lethal force.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2007Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Telerobotics CorporationInventors: John Goree, Brian Feldman

Patent number: 7335026Abstract: Embodiments of the invention enable an operator to interact with a video surveillance system comprising at least one sensor. The sensor may be configured to operate as a simulated weapon, or may be replaced by or augmented with a real weapon and in either case the simulated or real weapon is controlled over a network. The network may comprise the local video surveillance network or a network linking with a remotely operated weapon system. The integration of an existing video surveillance system with a network of remotely operated weapons and/or weapon simulators enables use of the resources of either system by the other system and enables a passive video surveillance system to become an active projector of lethal or non-lethal force.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2005Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Assignee: Telerobotics Corp.Inventors: John Goree, Brian Feldman
