US Patent:

6454815, Sep 24, 2002

Filed:

Sep 6, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/656197

Inventors:

Duane Finello - Shalimar FL
Scott L. Roberson - Destin FL

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force - Washington DC

International Classification:

H01G 900

US Classification:

29 2503, 75612, 75343, 429209

Abstract:

A high power density alkaline electrochemical capacitor cell includes a pair of titanium nitride powder electrodes fabricated by subjecting titanium hydride powder to a controlled flow of ammonia vapor. A porous separating membrane for containing an electrolyte is attached to a first surface of the pair of powder electrodes. A conductive termination is attached to the second side of each of the powder electrodes. The electrodes have a high surface area and are electrochemically stable in strong alkaline electrolyte. The capacitor cell can be hermetically sealed and is capable of long-term cyclical operation over a wide range of operating temperatures (-55Â C. to +100Â C. ) while providing high-density energy storage.

Appl. No.:

13/080419

Inventors:

DAVID TWEDE - ORLANDO FL, US
SCOTT ROBERSON - OCOEE FL, US

Assignee:

LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION - BETHESDA MD

International Classification:

H04N 5/33

US Classification:

348164, 348E0509

Abstract:

A multispectral imaging system identifies disturbed ground regions in an interrogation area and includes an image sensor. The image sensor includes a photodetector array, a filter that transmits a non-near infrared (non-NIR) reference band and NIR including band from diffusely scattered light to the photodetector array. The 2-D photodetector array generates separately detected first non-NIR reference band data and NIR comprising band data. A processor for data processing is coupled to the photodetector array to receive the non-NIR reference band data and NIR band data. The data processing includes utilizing both the NIR band data and the non-NIR reference band data to generate processed image data that can be used to identify disturbed ground regions within the interrogation region.
