Publication number: 20060049762Abstract: Alkali electric discharges have been considered previously for night-vision illuminator applications due to copious near-infrared emissions. However, high-pressure alkali short arc lamps exhibited low brightness, particularly at the cathode tip. The cause of this phenomenon is now recognized and a lamp invented which exhibits a small volume arc of high brightness. This lamp has better beam collimation and focussing characteristics than previously tested alkali lamps.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2004Publication date: March 9, 2006Inventor: Mark Koch

Publication number: 20050146609Abstract: A method of sending image signal data from a camera to a CCTV network receives images via a camera lens and image sensor as well as receiving analog video signals corresponding to views from outside the camera via an analog video input connector. Image signal data corresponding to the images received by the sensor is output, and image signal data corresponding to the analog video input connector is also output. The image signal data is stored on a storage device. A network adapter of the camera connects to an internet-protocol address corresponding to a network device capable of serving files. The image signal data of the image sensor or image signal data of the analog video input connector are selectively transmitted from the storage device to the network device using the network adapter and the internet-protocol address.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2005Publication date: July 7, 2005Applicant: PENTAX U.S.A., Inc.Inventors: Rob Creamer, Walter Knapp, Mark Koch, Yoshiyuki Araki, Richard Helton

Publication number: 20050149979Abstract: A standalone device, connectible to a CCTV network, includes an analog video input connector that collects input image signals corresponding to views from outside the standalone device, and digital image signal data corresponding to the collected signals are output. The device is connectible to an the internet-protocol network, and a transport control protocol packetizes the digital image signal data and controls addressing of the packetized digital image signal data. An address setting routine sets an internet-protocol address for the standalone device itself, permitting connection to the internet-protocol network. A self-initiating transmission initiating routine self-initiates a connection with the internet-protocol network in response to a triggering signal on an alarm trigger input. An E-mail message is assembled, including report information related to the triggering signal and digital image signal data, and is transmitted to an address via the internet-protocol network.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2005Publication date: July 7, 2005Applicant: PENTAX U.S.A., Inc.Inventors: Rob Creamer, Walter Knapp, Mark Koch, Yoshiyuki Araki, Richard Helton

Publication number: 20050146610Abstract: A camera, connectible to a CCTV network, includes a camera lens and image sensor as well as an analog video input connector that receives analog image signals corresponding to views from outside the camera. An image processing circuit outputs image signal data of the image sensor, and a video conversion circuit outputs image signal data of the analog image signals. The image signal data is stored on a storage device. A microcontroller controls the circuits, and a network adapter connects to an internet-protocol address corresponding to a network device capable of serving files. The microcontroller selectively transmits image signal data of the image sensor or transmits image signal data of the analog video input connector from the storage device to the network device using the network adapter and the internet-protocol address.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2005Publication date: July 7, 2005Applicant: PENTAX U.S.A., Inc.Inventors: Rob Creamer, Walter Knapp, Mark Koch, Yoshiyuki Araki, Richard Helton

Publication number: 20050144653Abstract: A method of transmitting digital image signal data from a standalone device includes input image signals corresponding to views from outside the standalone device. Digital image signal data, corresponding to the input image signals, are output. The standalone device is permitted to connect to an internet-protocol network by setting an internet-protocol address for the standalone device itself. On the network, the digital image signal data is packetized and addressing of the packetized digital image signal data for the internet-protocol network is controlled, with a transport control protocol. The method includes self-initiating a connection with the network in response to a triggering signal on at least one alarm trigger input of a plurality of input/output terminals.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2005Publication date: June 30, 2005Applicant: PENTAX U.S.A., Inc.Inventors: Rob Creamer, Walter Knapp, Mark Koch, Yoshiyuki Araki, Richard Helton
