  • Video search and rescue device
    Patent number: 6678395
    Abstract: A device for locating a lost target or for surveillance and monitoring of an area for a target having spectral and spatial profiles comprises a digital multi-spectral camera aimed at or scanning an area of interest, the camera generating spectral and spatial output; and a computer including a program for processing in real-time the output of the camera, triggering an alarm when the target is detected from the output.

  • Holographic grating imaging spectrometer
    Patent number: 5139335
    Abstract: A spectrometer apparatus is provided including means for focusing a light beam with a concave holographic grating, means for passing light reflected from the grating through a step order filter to an array detector and means for processing signals from the array detector. The spectrometer permits monitoring a plurality of grating orders simultanously without mechanical scanning.
