Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110132108Particle Interrogation Devices and Methods - Devices and methods are disclosed for non-contact pneumatic sampling of surfaces, persons, articles of clothing, buildings, furnishings, vehicles, baggage, packages, mail, and the like, for aerosols or vapor residues indicative of a hazard or a benefit, where the residues are chemical, radiological, biological, toxic, or infectious in character. A central orifice for pulling a vacuum is surrounded by an array of convergingly-directed gas jets, forming a “virtual sampling chamber”. The gas jets are configured to deliver millisecond pneumatic pulses that erode particles and vapors from solid surfaces at a distance. A curtain wall flow encloses the sampling area during pulse retrieval.06-09-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110057941SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INSERTING CONTENT INTO AN IMAGE SEQUENCE - Systems and methods for augmenting an image sequence with content are disclosed. A system may include a character generator, a graphics frame buffer and a graphics insertion system. The character generator may generate pixel block content. The graphics frame buffer may be in communication with the character generator and store the pixel block content. The graphics insertion system may be in communication with the first graphics frame buffer. The graphics insertion system may be used to retrieve the pixel block content from the first graphics frame buffer and modify an image sequence with an insert graphic based on the pixel block content.03-10-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080295066Programming model for modular development - Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for providing a programming model for modular development. A definition feature is provided that allows a definition to be specified for a particular method that is part of an application. A production feature allows a functionality implementation to be specified for the particular method separately from the definition. A consumption feature allows a method call to be made indirectly to the functionality implementation of the particular method by referencing the definition of the particular method from a consuming method. The consuming method has no awareness of the functionality implementation for the particular method. An analysis process inspects components containing indirect associations between these consumers and producers of application functionality to generate a graph of direct associations between the consumers and producers without having to actually load the components. A loader process uses the graph of direct associations to run the application.11-27-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100146481DEVELOPING APPLICATIONS AT RUNTIME - Data applications may be developed within an integrated development environment comprising an iterative cycle of writing source code, building the source code, running the data application, and testing the data application. The development becomes iterative because the application is torn down, redesigned, rebuilt, and re-executed if the data application is modified. Developing an application at runtime is disclosed herein, which is generally more efficient than conventional iterative techniques. As provided herein, runtime application comprising prebuilt components is presented to a user. The runtime application may be modified through modification gestures. An update assembly may be built based upon the modification gestures. The runtime application may be updated based upon the updated assembly. For example, prebuilt components modified by modification gestures may be torn down, updated with a corresponding update assembly, and reloaded into the runtime application, while the runtime application is in a runtime state.06-10-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080304044HIGH-RESOLUTION THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING RADAR - A three-dimensional imaging radar operating at high frequency e.g., 670 GHz, is disclosed. The active target illumination inherent in radar solves the problem of low signal power and narrow-band detection by using submillimeter heterodyne mixer receivers. A submillimeter imaging radar may use low phase-noise synthesizers and a fast chirper to generate a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) waveform. Three-dimensional images are generated through range information derived for each pixel scanned over a target. A peak finding algorithm may be used in processing for each pixel to differentiate material layers of the target. Improved focusing is achieved through a compensation signal sampled from a point source calibration target and applied to received signals from active targets prior to FFT-based range compression to extract and display high-resolution target images. Such an imaging radar has particular application in detecting concealed weapons or contraband.12-11-2008

20100090887MULTI-PIXEL HIGH-RESOLUTION THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING RADAR - A three-dimensional imaging radar operating at high frequency e.g., 670 GHz radar using low phase-noise synthesizers and a fast chirper to generate a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) waveform, is disclosed that operates with a multiplexed beam to obtain range information simultaneously on multiple pixels of a target. A source transmit beam may be divided by a hybrid coupler into multiple transmit beams multiplexed together and directed to be reflected off a target and return as a single receive beam which is demultiplexed and processed to reveal range information of separate pixels of the target associated with each transmit beam simultaneously. The multiple transmit beams may be developed with appropriate optics to be temporally and spatially differentiated before being directed to the target. Temporal differentiation corresponds to a different intermediate frequencies separating the range information of the multiple pixels. Collinear transmit beams having differentiated polarizations may also be implemented.04-15-2010
