  • Publication number: 20240163409
    Abstract: Disclosed are improved methods, systems and devices for color night vision that reduce the number of intensifiers and/or decrease noise. In some embodiments, color night vision is provided in system in which multiple spectral bands are maintained, filtered separately, and then recombined in a unique three-lens-filtering setup. An illustrative four-camera night vision system is unique in that its first three cameras separately filter different bands using a subtractive Cyan, Magenta and Yellow (CMY) color filtering-process, while its fourth camera is used to sense either additional IR illuminators or a luminance channel to increase brightness. In some embodiments, the color night vision is implemented to distinguish details of an image in low light. The unique application of the three-lens subtractive CMY filtering allows for better photon scavenging and preservation of important color information.

  • Patent number: 8858885
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a pixel-type biological analysis device comprising a photosensitive layer, a capture mixture for the capture of targeted proteins, the capture mixture being placed on an external surface of the photosensitive layer and comprising a protein probe grafted to a hydrogel, collection means for collecting photoelectrons in the photosensitive layer, and reading and treatment means of an electrical quantity supplied by the collection means, for the supply of a characteristic value of a luminous intensity detected by the photosensitive layer.

  • Patent number: 8440470
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a fabrication process of a biosensor on a semiconductor wafer, comprising steps of: making a central photosensitive zone comprising at least one pixel-type biological analysis device comprising a photosensitive layer, and a first peripheral zone surrounding the central photosensitive zone, comprising electronic circuits. The first peripheral zone is covered by a hydrophilic coating, and the central photosensitive zone is covered with a hydrophobic coating. A barrier of a bio-compatible resin is formed on the second peripheral zone.
