  • Patent number: 10581521
    Abstract: A dual-mode imaging receiver (DMIR) can acquire and maintain SOA free-space optical communication (FSOC) links without a precision mechanical gimbal. Unlike other FSOC technologies, a DMIR can operate without precise spatial alignment and calibration of the transmitter's or receiver's spatial encoders (precision pointing) in static (fixed point to point) geometries. Instead, a DMIR uses electronic receive beam selection to acquire and track transmitters with coarse mechanical pointing and a single aperture. And because the DMIR can operate with just one aperture, it does not need a beacon at the transmitter since it does not transition from a wide field-of-view acquisition aperture to a narrow field-of-view detection and decoding aperture even in dynamic geometries.

  • Patent number: 10504478
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a first mode in which the semiconductor device is used alone and a second mode in which the semiconductor device is used in combination with another semiconductor device. In case that one driven device is driven using the semiconductor device in the first mode and the second mode, power supply lines are caused to allow electrical conduction to each other outside of each semiconductor device in order to cancel errors of operation power supply voltages of each semiconductor device. In case that a power supply unit of each semiconductor device is operable by receiving an instruction for release of a low power consumption state, a supply start timing of the operation power supply voltages in the second mode is delayed as compared to that in the first mode.
