Patent number: 10534116Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to hyperspectral spectroscopy, and in particular, to systems, methods and devices enabling a single-sensor hyperspectral imaging device. Hyperspectral (also known as “multispectral”) spectroscopy is an imaging technique that integrates multiples images of an object resolved at different narrow spectral bands (i.e., narrow ranges of wavelengths) into a single data structure, referred to as a three-dimensional hyperspectral data cube. Data provided by hyperspectral spectroscopy allow for the identification of individual components of a complex composition through the recognition of spectral signatures of individual components within the three-dimensional hyperspectral data cube.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2018Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Hypermed Imaging, Inc.Inventor: Mark Darty

Publication number: 20110161090Abstract: A system and method for automating the processing and handling of speeding tickets and similar citations. The system acquires, stores, processes and resolves data associated with the speed detection and video capture of an incident of a vehicle breaking the speed limit. The system includes provisions for data capture, data transfer to an online database, and online plea and payment processing, including online access and electronic notification of the citizen, police and justice department. The invention thereby provides for faster processing, higher efficiency in processing, lower cost to the police and justice departments for processing tickets, and improved accuracy since less human involvement is required.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2010Publication date: June 30, 2011Inventors: Scott K.

Patent number: 7427978Abstract: The invention includes providing a display by moving a colorant particle, having an electric charge, inside a channel of a body in a direction that is substantially parallel to a direction of extension of the channel and a direction of incoming illumination rays. The colorant particle can be moved between a position at a bottom of the channel and at a top of the channel by the force of an electric field generated by a charge at the bottom of the channel. The invention can be applied to an analog dot display as well as a digital dot display. The invention covers methods of manufacturing the displays discussed above. The invention is also not limited to covering displays, and also covers at least print media, wherein colorant particles are locked at appropriate locations within the channels, either temporarily or permanently.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2004Date of Patent: September 23, 2008Assignee: Brother International CorporationInventor: Mark A.

Patent number: 7106485Abstract: An electrophoretic display device uses a liquid-phase electrophoretic material not confined in a shell. An electrophoresis chamber with the electrophoretic material hermetically sealing therein is mounted in a substrate. Also, a display section, a data communication section, a driver section, and a power reception section are mounted on the substrate. The data communication section is communicable with an external device to receive data to be displayed in the display section. The driver section is provided for driving the display section. To supply power to various sections of the display device, the power reception section is provided for wirelessly being supplied with power from an external station. A panel is mated with the substrate to cover the data communication section, the driver section, and the power reception section while exposing a transparent cover plate of the display section.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2004Date of Patent: September 12, 2006Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasuhiro Hattori, Yoshito Toyoda, Yoshiyuki Kondo, Yuji Hori, Fumika Miyazaki, Yumiko Mori, Tsuyoshi Ohashi, Douglas J.
