Title: Michael C. Marden and His Patented Technologies.

Introduction

Michael C. Marden is an inventor associated with Merrimac, Massachusetts. His patent work includes technologies for detecting aircraft and isolating image-gathering equipment from vehicle vibrations. He is associated with Goodrich Corporation and holds 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Marden’s listed patents address sensing and imaging systems.

“Object Detection System” describes an in-flight detection system that combines a camera and lidar mounted on a platform aircraft. The camera defines a field of regard containing a target aircraft, while the lidar continuously scans that area and determines position data between the two aircraft. A controller activates the lidar after the camera defines the field of regard.

“Isolation Systems for Image Data Gathering Devices” concerns an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) system connected to a vehicle through a damper. A controller adjusts the damper’s damping coefficient based on the vehicle’s expected vibration signature, helping isolate the image-gathering payload from vehicle vibrations.
