Title: Innovations by James M Brase
Introduction
James M Brase is an accomplished inventor based in Pleasanton, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of technology, particularly in video surveillance and laser machining applications. With a total of 2 patents, his work showcases innovative solutions to complex problems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Video surveillance with speckle imaging." This surveillance system is designed to look through the atmosphere along a horizontal or slant path. Turbulence along the path causes blurring, which is corrected by speckle processing of short exposure images recorded with a camera. The exposures are short enough to effectively freeze the atmospheric turbulence, allowing speckle processing to recover a better quality image of the scene.
Another notable patent is "Programmable phase plate for tool modification in laser machining applications." This system includes a laser source that propagates a laser beam toward a target location. It features a spatial light modulator with individual controllable elements capable of modifying the phase profile of the laser beam to produce a corresponding irradiance pattern on the target location. A controller is operably connected to the spatial light modulator for controlling these elements, enabling the modification of the phase profile to achieve a desired irradiance pattern for machining operations.
