Introduction
Carl D Leonard is an accomplished inventor based in Ann Arbor, MI (US). He holds three patents that showcase his innovative contributions to technology, particularly in imaging devices and object detection systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for a Split Pixel Interline Transfer Imaging Device. This invention is designed to provide a charge-coupled device that ensures accurate signal detection while allowing for high-speed electronic exposure control or shuttering. The exemplary embodiments maintain charge transfer efficiency at a high level, even when the pixel array is clocked rapidly for increased exposure control. Another significant patent is for Systems and Methods for Object Detection Using Beam Widening Optics. In this invention, a diffraction grating is placed in the beam path of a generated light source, expanding the beam's field of view by distributing the transmitted radiation into multiple sub-fields. This method enhances the intensity of sub-fields associated with distant objects while reducing the intensity for closer objects to avoid false detections.
