  • Patent number: 8921748
    Abstract: An optical window for a detection system and method of employing the same. In one embodiment, the detection system includes an optical window configured to internally channel external incident radiation to an exit surface for emission. The detection system also includes a detector oriented to receive emitted radiation from the exit surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 18, 2012
    Date of Patent: December 30, 2014
    Assignee: Lockheed Martin Corporation
    Inventors: Umang R. Patel, Kurt Schuder

  • Patent number: 7590232
    Abstract: A client identity verification system and method which includes receiving a spoken voice sample from a client. Identifying the match of the client, verifying client information, changing parameters in a conditional database and communicating alerts based on the results. The method also includes matching the received spoken voice sample against a stored voiceprint and voiceprint template of random phrases. The method then also includes verifying the phone number of the client.

  • Patent number: 7221869
    Abstract: A system for identifying transmission rates of an optical signal transmitted in an optical communication network includes a signal converter for converting a sample of the optical signal to an electrical signal. A frequency analyzer analyzes the electrical signal to determine energy levels of the signal at predetermined frequencies. The detected energy levels are stored in a first memory device. A second memory device stores known energy levels at predetermined frequencies for a plurality of known optical transmission standards. A comparator receives the detected energy levels stored in the first memory device and compares this information to the known transmission standards stored in the second memory device in order to identify the data transmission standard of the optical signal.

  • Publication number: 20050047793
    Abstract: A system and method for reducing undesirable components in optical signals in an optical transmission network. A block coding scheme is implemented that is matched to the spectral characteristics of one or more optical components of a transmission path, e.g., filters, optical media, et cetera, whereby the source data is encoded for shifting the power density spectra of the optical signals.
