  • Sensor housing apparatus
    Patent number: 8534124
    Abstract: A sensor apparatus includes a first elongated housing to at least partially enclose a sensor device and a second elongated housing coupled longitudinally to the first elongated housing. The second elongated housing includes at least one radial port extending from an inner surface to an outer surface of the second elongated housing to allow a first material received through an opening of the second elongated housing to flow through the second elongated housing and out the radial port in the vicinity of the sensor apparatus.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 2010
    Date of Patent: September 17, 2013
    Assignee: Raytheon Company
    Inventors: Theodore John Vornbrock, Aaron Matthew Foulk
  • Search and rescue using ultraviolet radiation
    Patent number: 8441360
    Abstract: A system includes an ultraviolet c-band radiation detector to enable detection of radiation during search and rescue operations, at least a portion of the radiation including ultraviolet c-band radiation, and a stimulus generator configured to generate a stimulus in response to detected ultraviolet c-band radiation. Further embodiments may include multiple synchronized ultraviolet c-band detectors to enhance system sensitivity and facilitate detection of relatively weak radiation sources, relatively distant sources, and/or radiation scattered about an environment.
