Publication number: 20240285014Abstract: A cap assembly with interchangeable components for removably displaying indicia on the cap includes a crown frame that is concave to define an interior space. A cover is releasably attachable to the crown frame, and the cover extends over and around the crown frame when the cover is attached to the crown frame. An attachment member has a first mating element which is coupled to the cover and a second mating element which is coupled to the crown frame. The first mating element is engageable with the second mating element to releasably attach the cover to the crown frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2023Publication date: August 29, 2024Inventor: Robert Pilgrim

Publication number: 20230266239Abstract: A system and method for exploiting spectral absorption properties of water is disclosed. The system and method use spectral absorption properties of water to improve Short Wave InfraRed (SWIR) sensor (camera) performance in the presence of clouds. This is achieved partly by limiting the spectral passband of a sensor to a water absorption band, thereby improving Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). Higher SNR permits improved CSO resolution. Further, higher SNR reduces the uncertainty in matching observations in one sensor to the epipolar lines of another sensor thus reducing the time needed to achieve unambiguous matches.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2022Publication date: August 24, 2023Applicant: Bevilacqua Research Corporation, IncInventor: Robert Pilgrim

Patent number: 11711484Abstract: A system for stitching images together is disclosed. The images are sometimes referred to as frames, such as frames in a video sequence. The system comprises one or more imagers (e.g. cameras) that work in coordination with a matching amount of custom code modules. The system achieves image stitching using approximately one third the Field of View (FOV) of each imager (camera) and also by increasing the number of imagers to be above a predetermined threshold. The system displays these stitched images or frames on a computer monitor, either in a still-image context but also in a video-context. Normally these tasks would involve a great detail of computation, but the system achieves these effects while managing the computational load. In stitching the images together, it is sometimes necessary to introduce some image distortion (faceting) in the combined image. The system ensures no gaps in any captured view, and assists in achieving full situational awareness for a viewer.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2022Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: Bevilacqua Research CorpInventors: Robert Pilgrim, Roy Brown, Chuck Bryant, Lee Gay, Glenn Hembree

Patent number: 9077868Abstract: A method and device for viewing objects situated in fog is disclosed. An optical system directs light from a scene onto a detector array through one or more optical waveband limiting filters. The detector array transfers a succession of captured scene images to an electronic device for processing. These processed images are transferred to a display device. A method and device for demonstrating the inventive optical system is presented.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2012Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Inventor: Robert Pilgrim
