Appl. No.:

6/144519

Inventors:

John J. Stapleton - East Brunswick NJ

Assignee:

International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

H04N 718

US Classification:

358113

Abstract:

A device for providing scan conversion, integration and parallel to serial conversion in one modular element which comprises an array of infrared detectors, amplifiers and LEDs, with said LEDs optically coupled to a CCD sensor which provides an output which may be utilized for image reconstruction. A feed back gain channel connected to the output of said sensor serves to provide a reference which controls the steady state amplitude of all the LEDs thereby stabilizing the LED array.

Appl. No.:

6/080587

Inventors:

John J. Stapleton - East Brunswick NJ

Assignee:

K&R Engineering Sales Corporation - Flanders NJ

International Classification:

H01J 2970
H01J 2972

US Classification:

315389

Abstract:

A cathode ray tube display system for displaying data and/or pictorial images in an undistorted manner over the entire display screen. Programmable video polarity circuits add versatility to the system, enabling the cathode ray tube to be driven by any one of a variety of different drive circuits and effectively eliminating any skewing or delay experienced by the control signals as a result of the particular drive circuitry employed. Versatile deflection of the cathode ray tube electron beam at low power levels is achieved through the use of deflection circuitry employing a feedback circuit for achieving linearity and a totem pole circuit employing a coupling diode for achieving rapid, automatic flyback during the retrace portion of the deflection cycle. Automatic sizing of the display generated by the cathode ray tube (CRT) is obtained regardless of changes in the operating frequency of the horizontal and vertical sync signals employed to control the cathode ray tube. The sizing circuitry employs solid-state timer circuits, preferably of the integrated circuit type, which generate the necessary horizontal and vertical sweep circuits regardless of frequency changes experienced by the input sync signals.

Appl. No.:

6/359451

Inventors:

John J. Stapleton - East Brunswick NJ

Assignee:

International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

H04N 920

US Classification:

358 65

Abstract:

A system for providing a visual color display of multi-spectral and/or multi-sensor data particularly that provided by a trichroic infrared scanning system, which includes the assignment of visible color signals to such data in a manner to maximize color discrimination of the viewer and allows the use of a conventional color display, particularly a CRT, to produce a real time color picture of the image that the data represents.

US Classification:

1286531

Abstract:

An omnidirectional, multispectral and multimodal sensor/display processor for the screening, examination, detection, and diagnosis of breast cancer. Its capabilities are accomplished through stable vision fusion of the Doppler-like differences of selective radiologic wavelengths, besides X-ray mammograms, e. g. , ultraviolet (UV. ), visible and infrared (IR), with-vision-computer discrimination of other active and passive observables of electromagnetic fields, and medical data, including the optimum color ratios and 3-dimensional (3D) transformation of multiple imaging modalities, e. g. , ultrasound, nuclear computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), etc. , to obtain the "concurrence of evidence" necessary for maximum confidence levels, generated at minimal cost and with minimum false positives, at the earliest possible breast cancer detection point.
