| 20100108859 | Sensor for eye-safe and body-fixed semi-active laser guidance - A sensor for laser spot trackers. The novel sensor includes a detector array comprised of a predetermined number of subsets, each subset including a plurality of detector elements, and a readout circuit for providing a first output and a second output, the first output including subset signals that represent the total energy received in each subset and the second output including signals representing energy received by each individual detector element. In an illustrative embodiment, the array is divided into four subsets and the first output includes four subset signals that are compatible with four-quadrant guidance systems. A subset signal is generated by thresholding signals received from each individual detector element to remove noise, and then summing the thresholded signals from each detector element in the subset. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20110228249 | LASER IMAGING SYSTEM WITH UNIFORM LINE ILLUMINATION AND METHOD FOR GENERATING IMAGES - Embodiments of a laser imaging system with uniform line illumination and method for generating images are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the laser imaging system includes a polarizer beam splitter to angularly separate an input laser beam into a pair of overlapping cross-polarized beams having a first angular separation therebetween, and a diffraction optic beamlet generator to generate a plurality of beamlets of alternating polarization states with a second angular separation therebetween. The laser imaging system may also include a focal-plane array (FPA) having a field-of-view (FOV) to be illuminated by the plurality of beamlets. | 09-22-2011 |

| 20120074295 | Transparent Silicon Detector and Multimode Seeker Using the Detector - A laser energy detector may include at least one photodetector device formed on a semiconductor substrate. The photodetector device may have an active area effective to detect laser energy at a laser wavelength. The active area of the laser energy detector may be substantially transparent for a first wavelength band within an infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. | 03-29-2012 |

| 20090320399 | Drainage-Promoting Wrap for an Exterior Wall or Roof of a Building - A drainage-promoting wrap includes an elongate web of a weather-resistive membrane and a series of separate, laterally spaced-apart, elongate filament spacers bonded to a face of the membrane. The filaments are preferably extruded polymeric filaments and have depressions formed therein providing transverse drainage paths across the filaments. Preferably, the filaments extend substantially parallel to each other and to a longitudinal axis of the elongate membrane. In addition, preferably the membrane is made of a polymeric material so that the filaments are thermally bonded to the face of the membrane. Wall and roof assemblies utilizing the wrap and methods of making the wrap are provided. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20120036024 | MIXED AUCTIONS - In general, first bids associated with an ad request are identified, where the first bids have an auction value that is set at a bidding time. Second bids associated with the ad request are identified, where the second bids have an auction value that is unknown at the bidding time. One or more predicted auction values for the second bids are determined, and an auction is run to identify one or more winning bids from the first and second bids for satisfying the ad request. | 02-09-2012 |
