Latest Patents
Bratton holds a patent for a "Method and apparatus for faithful gray scale representation of under - In a laser beam X-Y scanning system for use, as for example, in turbid media such as sea water." This innovative patent describes a system where laser light reflected from objects is captured by an image receiving device, such as a photomultiplier tube (PMT). The system maintains the intensity level of the reflected light within the dynamic range of the image receiving device by controlling the effective intensity of the laser beam. This is achieved by varying the density of a series of variable neutral density filters positioned between the laser beam generator and the object. The density of each filter is adjusted based on real-time environmental conditions and the position of the laser light source.
