Patent
Digital image system and method for determining surface reflective and refractive characteristics of objects
TL;DR: A computer controlled system for determining various physical surface characteristics of an object includes a light source array, positioned to illuminate a surface for evaluation, in which individual lights in the array illuminate the object on a mutually exclusive basis as mentioned in this paper.
Patent
Automatic heliostat track alignment method
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of automatically aligning heliostats by comparing the actual sunbeam centroid position on a target to a command reference position to determine the error in the SunBeam centroid location is presented.
Patent
Advanced survivable space solar power system
TL;DR: In this paper, a self-contained sun-powered electric power generating system comprising a fresnel mirror array made up of a plurality of quadrilateral mirrors individually mounted on a generally flat supporting structure with the mirrors aimed at a common point above the structure, was designed to fold into itself in the form of an elongate box for launch, maneuvering and protection.
Patent
Alignment system and method for dish concentrators
TL;DR: In this paper, a camera and light assembly, an alignment device, an operator controller, and a support member are used to align individual facets on a dish concentrator located at most any location.
Patent
Digital image system for determining relative position and motion of in-flight vehicles
TL;DR: In this paper, the system includes a reflector assembly mounted on a first one of a pair of spacecraft and a light source mounted on the second spacecraft illuminates the assembly the reflections from which are directed into a radiometer which is also mounted on another spacecraft.
