    Abstract: Epoxy-based inline infrared (IR) filter assembly, and manufacture and use of the same. Co-axial infrared filter assemblies comprise a substantially cylindrical filter body forming a central cavity characterized by opposing holes at each end. The filter body forms an outer conductor, and SMA connectors coupled to the opposing holes at each end of the body are electrically coupled to form an inner conductor positioned along a long axis of the filter body. An infrared absorbing material (such as castable epoxy resin) fills the central cavity of the filter body. Methods for producing the co-axial infrared filter include pressing SMA connectors into the respective ends of the filter body, electrically coupling the SMA connectors, and filling the filter body with epoxy. Electronic systems for operating a dark matter detector include a feedline comprising a coaxial filter configured to advantageously block infrared noise.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a spectrum scanning assembly and an optical semiconductor element. The spectrum scanning assembly includes a band-pass waveguide assembly and multiple micro-ring resonators, and the band-pass waveguide assembly is respectively connected to the multiple micro-ring resonators; in which: the band-pass waveguide assembly is used to divide an optical signal to be tested into multiple band-pass optical signals with different central wavelengths and then respectively input into the multiple micro-ring resonators; each micro-ring resonator is used to perform scanning for resonant wavelengths in the band-pass optical signals to form first spectral information; in which after beam combination is performed on multiple pieces of first spectral information formed by the multiple micro-ring resonators, second spectral information may be formed. The spectrum scanning assembly and the optical semiconductor element of the invention have high spectral scanning precision.

    Abstract: A method of locating and tracking each person in a gunshot event includes creating an electronic map based on an environment. A plurality of image pick-up devices is used to pick up an image of each person in the environment. A plurality of gunshot detection devices is used to detect whether a gunshot event occurs in the environment. When a gunshot event is detected, a gunman characteristics detection procedure is activated. When the gunman characteristics detection procedure detects an image of a person fulfilling gunman characteristics, the person is labeled as a gunman, and the location of the gunman is uploaded and designated on a corresponding location on the electronic map. When no gunshot event is detected, the gunman characteristics detection procedure is not activated. The image is used to track movement and location of the gunman and to continuously update the location of the gunman on the electronic map.

    Abstract: To mitigate undesirable outcomes due to crosstalk in an ambient light sensor reading resulting from light emission from an electronic display, statistics may be gathered to determine and compensate for the crosstalk. For example, the ambient light sensor may detect ambient light levels while the electronic display is temporarily paused to reduce or eliminate crosstalk between the light produced by the electronic display and the ambient light sensor. However, the ambient light sensor may retain charge from a previous light emission, creating back-emission crosstalk. The ratio of back-emission to front-emission (e.g., present light emission) may not be linear, and the degree of nonlinearity may vary with pixel value, color component, display brightness, temperature, and so on. As the ambient light sensor is affected by back-emission, compensation for the nonlinearity between the front-emission and the back-emission may be obtained to estimate the crosstalk induced on the ambient light sensor.
