Abstract: An optical observation device for observing a target located at a distant observation sight that comprises an observation telescope and an infrared sighting device. The infrared sighting device eventually provides a visual target image as a sighting marker from a thermal infrared image of the observation sight. The sighting marker and the observation sight are simultaneously viewed in the field of view of the observation telescope so as to enable training of the observation telescope on a part of the observation sight where the target is located.

Abstract: A method for determining change in temperature of different parts of an electronic or optoelectronic device between un-energized and energized states without contacting the device. The method includes establishing a reference image form an unexcited device by illuminating the device with an optical signal and capturing the reference image from the device in an un-energized state, illuminating the device with an optical signal during an energization pulse having a predetermined pulse width and pulse magnitude and capturing a plurality of on images from the device at different time delays, determining a transient temperature profile, calibrating the temperature profile for one or more regions of the device with unknown thermoreflectance coefficient based on the determined transient temperature profile for the one or more regions of the device with known thermoreflectance coefficient.

Abstract: A temperature detection system for railway applications is provided. The system may include at least one infrared (IR) sensing element configured to detect IR signals emitted by a rail or a railcar, and a controller in communication with the at least one IR sensing element. The controller may be configured to receive the IR signals from the at least one IR sensing element, extract IR data corresponding to at least one of a rail and an undercarriage of the railcar from the IR signals, and generate a characteristic thermal profile of at least one of an ambient temperature and a rail temperature based on the IR data.

Abstract: A polarization and color sensitive pixel device and a focal plane array made therefrom. Each incorporates a thick color/polarization filter stack and microlens array for visible (0.4-0.75 micron), near infrared (0.75-3 micron), mid infrared (3-8 micron) and long wave infrared (8-15 micron) imaging. A thick pixel filter has a thickness of between about one to 10× the operational wavelength, while a thick focal plane array filter is on the order of or larger than the size or up to 10× the pitch of the pixels in the focal plane array. The optical filters can be precisely fabricated on a wafer. A filter array can be mounted directly on top of an image sensor to create a polarization camera. Alternatively, the optical filters can be fabricated directly on the image sensor.

Abstract: A sight system is provided that includes an optical mode providing an optical image of a field of view and a video display mode providing video of the field of view acquired by an image sensor. The sight system can include optical components configured to present the field of view to the image sensor and to present substantially the field of view to a user through an eyepiece coupled to the sight system. The sight system can include a display configured to display to the user, through the eyepiece, video of the field of view acquired by the image sensor. The sight system can include a user interface feature configured to change from the optical mode to the video display mode when actuated by the user. Thus, the sight system can be configured to provide bore-sighted optical and video data to the user.

Abstract: A method for installing a water potential detector in a plant stem comprising the steps of: providing a water potential detector comprising a compartment with an osmoticum therein, the detector being configured for measuring water potential through direct contact with plant tissue adjacent to the vascular conduit of the plant stem via the selective barrier; forming a bore through the plant stem by drilling therein, using a first type of drill bit; smoothening the inner walls of the bore by using a second type of drill bit; inserting the water potential detector into the smoothened bore such that the selective harrier thereof is in direct contact with the stem tissue of the plant; and filling the gap between the water potential detector and the stem tissue with a fluid conducting material. The selective harrier and the drilled inner stem tissue is kept wet throughout the delivery and installation process.
