ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,455,196, issued on Oct. 28.

"Conformal imaging vibrometer using adaptive optics with scene-based wave-front sensing" was invented by David Mort Pepper (Camarillo, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Conformal imaging vibrometer using adaptive optics with scene-based wave front sensing. An extended object is located at the first end of a link, and a reference-free, adaptive optical, conformal imaging vibrometer using scene-based wave front sensing is located at the second end of the link. An aberrated, free space or guided-wave path exists between the ends of the link. The adaptive optical system compensates for path distortions. Using ...
