FEATURED PATENT

Plasmonic-Photonoic Biomimicking Sensor for Airborne Agent Detection

View Patent

A small form factor reusable sensor that detects the presence of various airborne agents.

FEATURED PATENT

US11782264

Optical Flight Motion Simulator Target Axes

View Patent

The systems and methods provided within this patent are directed to a flight motion simulator. The target axes are replaced by a system of Risley pairs. Light is projected to the unit under testing at a range of angles by rotating elements within the Risley pairs.

FEATURED PATENT

US11780586

Adaptive Force Vehicle Airbag System

View Patent

An adaptive force vehicle airbag (AFVA) system includes airbag(s) stowed in a compressed state within the interior of a vehicle. An impact sensor detects a change in motion of the vehicle indicative of a collision.

FEATURED PATENT

US11493633

Range-enabled three-dimensional imaging system and associated methods

View Patent

By independently illuminating a target object with multiple lasers, including one producing a wavelength non-resonant with atmospheric absorption and another resonant with absorption, a ratio of recorded intensities calculates the range to the object, facilitating accurate 3-D imaging onto a focal plane array.

FEATURED PATENT

US11429273

Touch-based tracking system and method

View Patent

System allows real-time fusion of data from human and machine sources filtered through a graphical user interface to enable target tracking in a complex environment.

FEATURED PATENT
