Publication number: 20160024793Abstract: A roof panel includes a planar body having top and bottom edges, with a downturn edge extending therebetween, and an opposing channel edge. The downturn edge overlays a channel edge of an adjacent panel. The bottom edge overlays a top edge of another adjacent panel. A plurality of courses extends between the channel and downturn edges. Each course includes a nesting ridge to receive the downturn edge of an adjacent panel and to position a top surface of the panel flush with adjacent panels. Surface channels and contoured ridges are defined within each course. A drain aperture of the drip edge aligns with an adjacent channel edge to direct material through the drain aperture and onto adjacent panels. A gable member engages an edge when the panel has one or fewer laterally adjacent panels, wherein the gable member is flush with the adjacent planar body.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2015Publication date: January 28, 2016Inventors: Craig Scott Rasmussen, Donald Mark Wilkinson, Marc Richard Spetoskey, Mark Allen Bredeweg, Nick Kooyer, Mark Armock, Brad Walbridge, Austin Harms

Patent number: RE45122Abstract: A non-contact passive ranging system wherein a first imager on a platform is focused on a first object and a second imager on the platform is also focused on the first object. The optical path from the first object to the first imager is configured to be shorter than the optical path from the object to the second imager. Processing circuitry is responsive to an output of the first imager and an output of the second imager as relative motion is provided between the platform and the first object and is configured to calculate the distance from the platform to the object.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2013Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Zervoglos, Paul DeBitetto, Scott Rasmussen
