ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 4 -- United States Patent no. 12,323,724, issued on June 3, was assigned to blumind Inc. (Ottawa).
"Systems and methods for analog image sensing and processing" was invented by John Gosson (Ottawa) and Roger Levinson (San Jose, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Analog image processing systems and methods are provided. The systems are configured to convert a pixel output signal to a time pulse without analog to digital signal conversion. Pixel output voltage is sampled and the pixel voltage is applied to a capacitor. A comparator configured to sense the pixel voltage on the capacitor as the capacitor is discharged generates output time pulses. The output time pulse is...
