| 6978935 | PLANAR LIGHT ILLUMINATION AND IMAGING (PLIIM) BASED SYSTEM HAVING A LINEAR IMAGE DETECTION CHIP MOUNTING ASSEMBLY WITH MEANS FOR PREVENTING MISALIGNMENT BETWEEN THE FIELD OF VIEW (FOV) OF SAID LINEAR IMAGE DETECTION CHIP AND THE CO-PLANAR LASER ILLUMINATION BEAM (PLIB) PRODUCED BY SAID PLIIM BASED SYSTEM, IN RESPONSE TO THERMAL EXPANSION AND/OR CONTRACTION WITHIN SAID PLIIM BASED SYSTEM | Constantine J. Tsikos, C. Harry Knowles, Xiaoxun Zhu, Michael Schnee, Ka Man Au +21 more | 2005-12-27 |
| 6978936 | Method of and system for automatically producing digital images of moving objects, with pixels having a substantially uniform white level independent of the velocities of the moving objects | Constantine J. Tsikos, C. Harry Knowles, Xiaoxun Zhu, Michael Schnee, Ka Man Au +21 more | 2005-12-27 |
| 6971575 | HAND-SUPPORTABLE PLANAR LASER ILLUMINATION AND IMAGING (PLIIM) DEVICE EMPLOYING A PAIR OF LINEAR LASER DIODE ARRAYS MOUNTED ABOUT AN AREA IMAGE DETECTION ARRAY, FOR ILLUMINATING AN OBJECT TO BE IMAGED WITH A PLURALITY OF OPTICALLY-COMBINED SPATIALLY-INCOHERENT PLANAR LASER ILLUMINATION BEAMS (PLIBS) SCANNED THROUGH THE FIELD OF VIEW (FOV) OF SAID AREA IMAGE DETECTION ARRAY, AND REDUCING THE SPECKLE-PATTERN NOISE POWER IN DETECTED 2-D IMAGES BY TEMPORALLY-AVERAGING DETECTED SPECKLE-NOISE PATTERNS | Constantine J. Tsikos, C. Harry Knowles, Xiaoxun Zhu, Michael Schnee, Timothy Good | 2005-12-06 |
| 6971576 | GENERALIZED METHOD OF SPECKLE-NOISE PATTERN REDUCTION AND PARTICULAR FORMS OF APPARATUS THEREFOR BASED ON REDUCING THE SPATIAL-COHERENCE OF THE PLANAR LASER ILLUMINATION BEAM AFTER IT ILLUMINATES THE TARGET BY APPLYING SPATIAL INTENSITY MODULATION TECHNIQUES DURING THE DETECTION OF THE REFLECTED/SCATTERED PLIB | Constantine J. Tsikos, C. Harry Knowles, Andrew Jankevics, Timothy Good | 2005-12-06 |
| 6971577 | Method of and system for automatically producing digital images of a moving object, with pixels having a substantially uniform white level independent of the velocity of said moving object | Constantine J. Tsikos, C. Harry Knowles, Xiaoxun Zhu, Michael Schnee, Ka Man Au +3 more | 2005-12-06 |
| 6969001 | METHOD OF SPECKLE-NOISE PATTERN REDUCTION AND APPARATUS THEREFOR BASED ON REDUCING THE SPATIAL-COHERENCE OF THE PLANAR LASER ILLUMINATION BEAM BEFORE IT ILLUMINATES THE TARGET OBJECT BY APPLYING SPATIAL INTENSITY MODULATION TECHNIQUES DURING THE TRANSMISSION OF THE PLIB TOWARDS THE TARGET | Constatine J. Tsikos, C. Harry Knowles, Timothy Good, Andrew Jankevics | 2005-11-29 |
| 6953151 | PLANAR LASER ILLUMINATION AND IMAGING (PLIIM) BASED CAMERA SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY PRODUCING DIGITAL LINEAR IMAGES OF A MOVING OBJECT, CONTAINING PIXELS HAVING A SUBSTANTIALLY SQUARE ASPECT-RATIO INDEPENDENT OF THE MEASURED RANGE AND/OR A VELOCITY OF SAID MOVING OBJECT | Constantine J. Tsikos, C. Harry Knowles, Xiaoxun Zhu, Michael Schnee, Ka Man Au +1 more | 2005-10-11 |
| 6880756 | METHOD OF SPECKLE-NOISE PATTERN REDUCTION AND APPARATUS THEREFOR BASED ON REDUCING THE TEMPORAL-COHERENCE OF THE PLANAR LASER ILLUMINATION BEAM (PLIB) AFTER IT ILLUMINATES THE TARGET BY APPLYING TEMPORAL INTENSITY MODULATION TECHNIQUES DURING THE DETECTION OF THE REFLECTED/SCATTERED PLIB | Constantine J. Tsikos, C. Harry Knowles, Timothy Good, Andrew Jankevics | 2005-04-19 |
| 6863216 | METHOD OF SPECKLE-NOISE PATTERN REDUCTION AND APPARATUS THEREFOR BASED ON REDUCING THE SPATIAL-COHERENCE OF THE PLANAR LASER ILLUMINATION BEAM BEFORE IT ILLUMINATES THE TARGET OBJECT BY APPLYING SPATIAL PHASE MODULATION TECHNIQUES DURING THE TRANSMISSION OF THE PLIB TOWARDS THE TARGET | Constantine J. Tsikos, C. Harry Knowles, Timothy Good, Andrew Jankevics | 2005-03-08 |
| 6857570 | METHOD OF SPECKLE-NOISE PATTERN REDUCTION AND APPARATUS THEREFOR BASED ON REDUCING THE TEMPORAL-COHERENCE OF THE PLANAR LASER ILLUMINATION BEAM BEFORE IT ILLUMINATES THE TARGET OBJECT BY APPLYING TEMPORAL FREQUENCY MODULATION TECHNIQUES DURING THE TRANSMISSION OF THE PLIB TOWARDS THE TARGET | Constantine J. Tsikos, C. Harry Knowles, Timothy Good, Andrew Jankevics | 2005-02-22 |
