Patent number: 11967238Abstract: A vehicle detection system warns snowmobilers of other approaching vehicles with potential risk of collision. To better prevent accidents, the system calculates collision risks and warns the rider based on level of risk. When riding in groups, a member can press a stop request button to ask the group to slow down. When a member exits the group, everyone in the group will receive a message, alerts or indication with the update. The vehicle detection system utilizes Bluetooth® low energy (BLE), LoRaWAN® technologies and/or global positioning system technologies and is designed to detect other devices in the region and use acquired information to calculate proximity and risk of collision.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Inventors: Stephen Paul Churko, Rachel Kellie Churko, Jason Tyler Griffin, Joshua Kwan Ho Wong, Timothy Mackay, Thai Nguyen, Mingxuan Wang, Benjamin Altman, Lawrence Sze-Heen Leung

Publication number: 20230393445Abstract: In a wavelength selective switch, an input port transmits an input beam, and diffraction grating disperses the input beam into optical channels. A liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCoS) switch assembly has a phase grating profile and has addressable pixels, which are liquid crystal based. The LCoS switch assembly can selectively direct first-order diffracted beams of the optical channels for output to selected output ports. A tunable optical wedge adjacent the LCoS switch assembly can direct higher-order diffraction beams in the space between the output ports to reduce crosstalk. The wedge is a liquid crystal cell having spaced-apart resistive layers and having liquid crystal material disposed between the layers. In the wedge, the liquid crystal material can produce a phase profile in response to bias voltages applied to the resistive layers, and a beam steering angle of the phase profile can direct at least the second-order diffracted beams towards the port spacing between the ports.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Helen Chen, Guomin Jiang, Tom Li, Lawrence Wang, Jim Yuan

Patent number: 11016441Abstract: A two-step optimization process is utilized to define an optimal phase profile for a LCoS spatial light modulator. The two-step optimization process first utilizes a nonlinear constrained optimization (NCO) program to determine the specific parameters required to obtain an optimal phase profile (hologram), where the “optimal phase profile” is typically defined as that profile which achieves maximum diffraction efficiency for optical switching. Following this first step, phase scaling (and perhaps an adjustment in the number of pixels per period) is employed to slightly modify the values of the optimal phase profile to effectively suppress crosstalk peaks. If any orders still exhibit an unacceptable level of crosstalk, these orders are then subtracted from the phase profile to create the final design.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: II-VI Delaware, Inc.Inventors: Kun Gao, Jack R.

Patent number: 10367596Abstract: A multiple wavelength selective switch has an optics assembly to receive a first input optical signal from a first ingress port and a second input optical signal from a second ingress port. A switch assembly has a single switching mechanism to direct the first input optical signal to the optics assembly as a first output optical signal and the second input optical signal to the optics assembly as a second output optical signal. The switch assembly directs the first output optical signal to a first egress port selected from the first set of egress ports and directs the second output optical signal to a second egress port selected from the second set egress ports. The first egress port and the second egress port have the same wavelength channel. The multiple wavelength selective switch supports an arbitrary number of wavelength channels that can be switched at the same time. Each switch assembly directs signals from a set of ingress ports to a set of egress ports sharing the same wavelength channel.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2018Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: II-VI Delaware, Inc.Inventors: Oliver Lu, Helen Chen, Gordon Jiang, Simon He, Lawrence Wang, Tom Li, Jim Yuan, Jack Kelly, Fenghua Li
