Abstract: A tunable superconductor apparatus or associated method. The apparatus comprises a coil, a first superconductor film portion, a second superconductor film portion, and an actuator. The first superconductor film portion is electrically coupled to the coil. The second superconductor film portion is inductively coupled to the first superconductor film portion. Displacement of the second superconductor film portion relative to the first superconductor film portion changes the capacitance between the second superconductor film portion and the first superconductor film portion. The actuator is capable of relatively displacing the second superconductor film portion and the first superconductor film portion to change a resonant frequency of the tunable superconductor apparatus. In one aspect, the actuator includes a Micro-Electromechanical (MEM) component or a mini electric-motor component that have the capability of relatively displacing the second superconductor film portion and the first superconductor film portion. The superconductor apparatus is configured, for example, as a resonator or as a filter in the frequency range of 1 MHz to 10 GHz.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a microbolometer focal plane array is provided with at least one thermally-shorted microbolometer detector that is thermally shorted to the microbolometer focal plane array substrate. A characteristic relationship is empirically derived for determining a corrected resistance value for each detector of the microbolometer focal plane array in response to radiation from a target scene as a function of the corresponding detector resistance value, the thermally-shorted microbolometer detector resistance value, and the empirically derived characteristic relationship.

Abstract: A temperature dependent focal plane array operates without a temperature stabilization cooler and/or heater over a wide range of ambient temperatures. Gain, offset and/or bias correction tables are provided in a flash memory in memory pages indexed by the measured temperature of the focal plane array. The memory stores a calibration database, which is accessed using a logic circuit which generates a memory page address from a digitized temperature measurement of the focal plane array. The calibration database is comprised of an array of bias, gain and offset values for each pixel in the focal plane array for each potential operating temperature over the entire range of potential operating temperatures. The bias, gain and offset data within the database are read out, converted to analog form, and used by analog circuits to correct the focal plane array response.

Abstract: A passive, real-time obstacle detection system is provided that determines the presence of small, curvilinear objects such as power lines. The system generally comprises a payload system having an infrared image detection system, a crew interface having a display for the images, and software algorithms that perform image processing on the pixel images. The software algorithms employ Cellular Automata (CA) techniques to resolve the direction vectors of sub-pixels, and as such, line segments are produced that are subsequently linked for display to the flight crew. The CA techniques are further based on the nullGame of Lifenull model, wherein local rules are used to determine how pixels evolve, or propagate along a line. The linked lines are then displayed for the flight crew so that evasive maneuvers can be performed as necessary.
