20090206260Night vision technology: broad band imaging - The invention is directed to a night vision system that has an illuminator that transmits light towards a target using light outside the visible spectrum. A receive optics focuses an image on a charge coupled device. This system with an ultraviolet illuminator allows the night vision system to view images beyond 2500 meters, while present systems are limited to around 800 meters. The illuminator is generally a high peak power pulsed light source. A processor uses frame addition techniques to increase the captured light and may use binning techniques to increase the signal to noise ratio. The system may use multiple illuminators and capture images at a number of different wavelengths.08-20-2009
20100128250Line of sight wind speed detection system - The invention is a line of sight wind detection system that has a laser with an output that is directed at a target. The system also has a receiver with a Hartmann aperture array receiving a reflected beam impinging on the Hartmann aperture array. A multiple pixel sensor senses a number of spots of light from the Hartmann aperture array. An analyzer receives an output from the multiple pixel sensor and determines an effective wind speed along a line of sight using a position of the spots. The system takes advantage of the fact that the wind along the line of sight will result in a shift in the angle of the wave front of the reflected beam. This shift in the angle of the wave front contains all the information of the cumulative effect on a projectile fired at the target.05-27-2010

20110153449AUCTION METHODS AND SYSTEMS - A novel online auction system in which both sellers and buyers are compelled to bid their “true value”. Potential buyers solicit desired items or services and submit sealed bids. A demand curve is created based on buyer bids, and a potential seller can use the curve to create its own sealed bid. A winning seller is determined, however the system uses the bid of the second-lowest bidding seller to establish the ultimate group of winning buyers and sale price. Winning sellers can choose lower prices to capture higher sale quantities. Second or multiple transactions can be implemented from a single bid, if included in the winning set of bids.06-23-2011
