Patent number: 10571570Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes emitting, by a light source of a lidar system, multiple optical pulses using multiple alternating pulse repetition intervals (PRIs) that include a first PRI and a second PRI, where the first PRI and the second PRI are not equal. The method also includes detecting, by a receiver of the lidar system, multiple input optical pulses and generating, by a processor of the lidar system, multiple pixels. Each pixel of the multiple pixels corresponds to one of the input optical pulses, and each pixel includes a PRI associated with a most recently emitted optical pulse of the multiple optical pulses. The method also includes determining a group of neighboring pixels for a particular pixel of the multiple pixels and determining whether the particular pixel is range-wrapped based at least in part on the PRI associated with each pixel of the group of neighboring pixels.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Luminar Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David L.

Patent number: 10220472Abstract: Laser processing device and method that stores characterization information representing specifics of a specific laser used for processing a material and forms a model to control the laser based on the laser performance specifics. This control sets a spacing between leading edges of sequential pulses of optical energy output by the laser, that when output by the laser, creates a laser power output with a consistent amount of pulse overlap between the sequential pulses, e.g., 50% overlap. This control is specific to the specific laser and creates a very consistent processing using the laser, e.g., a cut.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2015Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: Lasx Industries, IncInventors: Jason Vockrodt, Matthew Hansen, Kevin Klingbeil

Publication number: 20180253122Abstract: Clock generation for capturing a repetitive signal relative to a clock includes clock circuitry to provide a clock with active and inactive clock edges within a clock period, and signal capture circuitry to capture repetitive signal transitions at an active clock edge, based on pre-defined setup and hold times which determine a setup/hold window. Clock phase adjustment circuitry is configured to adjust clock phase so that the repetitive signal transitions occur within a signal capture window between setup/hold windows. Clock phase adjustment can be based on: aligning the clock inactive edges to the repetitive signal transitions; and/or averaging successive phase comparisons of the clock and the repetitive signal transitions; and/or selectively performing an initial polarity inversion to generate a polarity inverted clock, and then adjusting clock phase of the polarity inverted clock. An example implementation is JESD204B (subclass1) to adjust DEVCLK phase relative to a SYSREF timing reference control signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2018Publication date: September 6, 2018Inventors: Paul Joseph Kramer, Matthew Hansen Childs, Robert Callaghan Taft
