International Classification:

G01J 5/02
H04N 5/33
G01J 5/20
H01L 27/146

Abstract:

Microbolometer systems and methods are provided herein. For example, an infrared imaging device includes a substrate having contacts and a surface. The surface defines a plane. The infrared imaging device further includes a microbolometer array coupled to the substrate. Each microbolometer of the microbolometer array includes a second having a first dimension that extends in a first direction substantially parallel to the plane and a second dimension that extends in a second direction away from the plane. The first dimension is less than the second dimension. The segment includes a metal layer and a layer formed on a side of the metal layer.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02

Abstract:

A digital content communication system for account management and predictive analytics may be provided. The system may include an analytics system that communicates with one or more servers and one or more data stores to provide digital content management in a network. The analytics system may include a data access interface to receive data associated with a customer, as well as a processor to: standardize the received data using a standardization technique; process the standardized data using a dark data processing technique; generate a customer fit score and a digital density score based on the dark data processing of the standardized data; match received data associated with a customer against at least one variable using at least one matching technique; create a lead analytical record (LAR); prioritize leads in the LAR using a predictive modeling technique; and establish optimized channel assignment based on at least one of the customer fit score, the digital intensity score, the LAR, or the matching and prioritization actions.

Inventors:

- Goleta CA, US
Brian B. Simolon - Santa Barbara CA, US
Christopher Chan - Goleta CA, US
Robert F. Cannata - Santa Barbara CA, US
Eric A. Kurth - Santa Barbara CA, US

International Classification:

H04N 5/232

Abstract:

Techniques are disclosed for facilitating burst mode calibration sensing and image mode sensing. In one example, a device includes a detector array configured to detect electromagnetic radiation and provide image data frames according to a first frame rate. The device further includes a logic circuit configured to determine whether a threshold delay has elapsed. The device further includes a frame output circuit configured to: provide, based at least on the threshold delay having elapsed, the image data frames according to the first frame rate; and provide, based at least on the threshold delay not having elapsed, the image data frames according to a second frame rate lower than the first frame rate. Related methods and systems are also provided.

Abstract:

Techniques to set a frame rate and associated device manufacturing are disclosed. In one example, an imaging device includes a detector array configured to detect electromagnetic radiation associated with a scene and provide image data frames according to a first frame rate. The imaging device further includes a readout circuit configured to provide the image data frames according to a frame rate for the readout circuit. The imaging device further includes a fuse configured to set the frame rate for the readout circuit. Related methods and systems are also provided.

H04N 5/33
G01J 5/02
G01J 5/20

Abstract:

Systems and methods are directed to vertical legs for an infrared detector. For example, an infrared imaging device may include a microbolometer array in which each microbolometer includes a bridge and a vertical leg structure that couples the bridge to a substrate such as a readout integrated circuit. The vertical leg structure may run along a path that is parallel to a plane defined by the bridge and may be oriented perpendicularly to the plane. The path may be disposed within, below, or above the plane defined by the bridge.
