Publication number: 20190360810Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods for video based sensor fusion with respect to mobile structures. A mobile structure may include at least one imaging module and multiple navigational sensors and/or receive navigational data from various sources. A navigational database may be generated that includes data from the imaging module, navigational sensors, and/or other sources. Aspects of the navigational database may then be used to generate an integrated model, forecast weather conditions, warn of dangers, identify hard to spot items, and generally aid in the navigation of the mobile structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2019Publication date: November 28, 2019Inventors: Mark Johnson, Richard Jales, Gordon Pope, Christopher Gatland, Paul Stokes, Aaron Ridout, Chris Jones, Jay E.

Publication number: 20180203264Abstract: Optical devices that include one or more structures fabricated from polar-dielectric materials that exhibit surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs), where the SPhPs alter the optical properties of the structure. The optical properties lent to these structures by the SPhPs are altered by introducing charge carriers directly into the structures. The carriers can be introduced into these structures, and the carrier concentration thereby controlled, through optical pumping or the application of an appropriate electrical bias.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2018Publication date: July 19, 2018Applicant: The Goverment of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: James Peter Long, Joshua D. Caldwell, Jeffrey C. Owrutsky, Orest J. Glembocki
