  • Reducing unwanted sound transmission
    Patent number: 11463832
    Abstract: A system and method of adjusting an audio output in one location so that its propagation into another location is reduced. As a first device in a first location generates sound, a second device in a second location detects the propagated sound. The first device then adjusts its output based on the detected sound.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 4, 2022
    Assignee: DOLBY LABORATORIES LICENSING CORPORATION
    Inventors: C. Phillip Brown, Michael Smithers, Remi Audfray, Patrick Saunders

  • High-energy laser atmospheric compensation and aimpoint maintenance
    Patent number: 8218589
    Abstract: A high-energy laser weapon system in which the high-energy laser beam itself is used to correct for atmospheric fluctuations thereby replacing a separate beacon illuminator system. The high-energy laser is turned off (negative pulse) periodically for a very short period giving a wavefront sensor an opportunity to measure the return of the high-energy laser beam from the target. A wavefront sensor drives a deformable mirror based on this return signal avoiding wavelength anisoplanatism. In addition, the high-energy laser weapon can be snapped ahead of the path of the target during the negative pulse to avoid tilt anisoplanitism.
