摘要： An artificial retinal device, implanted in the subretinal space of the eye in persons with certain types of retinal blindness, induces artificial vision by electrical stimulation of the remaining viable cells of the retina. The artificial retina device includes a stimulating electrode unit preferably placed in the subretinal space, and a tail-like extension housing a distant electrical return ground electrode unit that may be placed in the vitreous cavity. The stimulating electrode unit includes an array of electrode subunits. Each electrode subunit includes one or more microphotodiodes electrically connected, for example, in series to provide increased voltage and current to its microelectrode. The stimulating electrode unit and the ground return electrode of the ground return electrode unit are preferably disposed on opposite sides of the neuroretina to allow for efficient and high resolution transretinal electrical stimulation of the neuroretinal cells. Additional photodiodes may be incorporated into the circuitry of the artificial retina device to provide additional bias voltage and current to the microelectrode subunits of the stimulating electrode unit. In another preferred embodiment, the ground return electrode in the tail-like extension is disposed in the capsular bag of the eye, after lens nucleus and cortex removal, where it is electrically connected to an additional bias photodiode or photodiodes.

摘要： A system and method are disclosed for carrying additional information data on multiplexed signals which are modulated on different wavelengths. An information code such as an address or control data for a particular data signal at a selected wavelength is overlaid on the parallel multiplexed signals. The information code may be overlaid by attenuation or changing the amplitude of the different signals. A separate marker channel at a separate wavelength is also multiplexed with the data signals to indicate the presence of an information code. An optical data detector array is used to optically determine the encoded address by comparing the signals with light levels and producing an output when a matching code is detected. The optical data detector array uses a series of detectors each corresponding to the wavelength of light signals carrying the information data. The detectors each have two photo detectors which are wired in parallel with each other to produce a voltage output when different light levels are detected on the two photo detectors. Using the information codes, an optical buffer may be realized which allows true optical switching of a data signal on detection of a matching information code. Alternatively, optical signals may be cross connected to balance data traffic through a fiber optic cable.

摘要： An image processing system for capturing and compressing images into a digital format is disclosed. The system has an array of imaging pixel elements which consist of two photodiode detectors. One photodiode detector is a capture detector while the other detector is a reference detector. The capture detector has an anode electrically coupled to the cathode of the reference detector. The cathode of the capture detector is electrically coupled to the anode of the reference detector. An image may be compared to a reference image detected by the reference detector. Different levels of light between the captured image and the reference image change the electrical output of the opsistor. Image compression is facilitated since only pixel elements which change from frame to frame need be stored. Additionally, a processing and compression circuit may use column and row scans to eliminate unchanged pixels and store only pixels with different light levels between images.

摘要： The present invention relates to a transmission method and device for efficient compression of digital data. The invention uses an optoelectronic coupler to receive light signals from a light transmitter at two bandwidths. A modulated signal generator is coupled to the transmitter which coverts voltage phase data signals to light signals. The data signals are modulated with a plurality of master profiles and subprofiles with different cycle time variations. The optoelectronic coupler has a pair of photodiodes. Light filters disposed on both diodes allow either the first or second bandwidth of light to pass. Conductors electrically couple the anode of the each photodiode to the cathode of the other photodiode which produce the voltage phase signal. A signal receiver is connected to the coupler and decodes the voltage-phase signal.

摘要： The Present Invention relates to methods and systems particularly useful in electrical products used to monitor and detect very weak signals. These products include, for example, night vision binoculars and remote listening devices. More specifically, the methods and systems of the Present Invention provide a signal conditioning technique that attenuates electrical noise generated within the product while at the same time preserving the integrity of the input signal. This provides a high signal-to-noise ratio within the product electronics and a dramatically clear final image. The Present Invention includes a method and system for chopping or splitting an input signal into two components, tagging each of the split signal components with opposite polarities, and a second reverse chopping step that combines the split and tagged input signal components into a restored input signal. The combining step, in addition to restoring the original input signal, cancels and attenuates internally generated, and untagged, electronic noise, providing image quality and detection in an efficient and economical manner that could not be obtained in the past.

摘要： A multi-function detector has at least two different sensors coupled to a control circuit. In a normal operating mode the control circuit, which could include a programmed processor, processes outputs from both sensors to evaluate if a predetermined condition is present in the environment adjacent to the detector. In this mode the detector exhibits a predetermined sensitivity. In response to a failure of one of the sensors, the control circuit processes the output of the remaining operational sensor or sensors so that the detector will continue to evaluate the condition of the environment with substantially the same sensitivity.
