Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling operation of
a battery powered modem to implement power conservation
by adaptive modem sleep. The method comprises detecting
the presence of a periodic network timing signal and
detecting transition of the modem processor to a
processing ready condition, wherein received RF signals
can be processed. A processor ready signal is generated
in response to detection of the processing ready
condition and compared in time to occurrence of the
network timing signal. A sleep error signal is generated
which represents the interval between occurrence of the
network timing signal and the processor ready signal. A
modem is then directed into a sleep mode for periods of
time sufficient to reduce the sleep error signal to be
within a predetermined error budget.

Abstract: An imaging system is provided for viewing a target.
The imaging system includes a first diffraction grating
receiving collimated infrared light containing infrared
(IR) object light generated by the target and IR laser
light produced when the laser beam contacts the target.
The diffraction grating disperses the object and laser
light. A first lens is aligned with the diffraction
grating to focus each wavelength at a separate focal
point. A mask is disposed at the focal plane of the
first lens. The mask is divided into a plurality of
segments, each of which is uniquely associated with a
spectral line of a wavelength of object or laser light.
The mask segments include either a blocking region or an
aperture. Each blocking region is located at a spectral
line of laser light. The apertures extend between the
blocking regions. The mask blocks the laser light and
passes the object light. A second lens is aligned to
receive and focus the object light passed through the
mask onto an image plane. A second diffraction grating
is positioned at the image plane of the second lens. The
second diffraction grating recombines the object light
into a single output image with the laser light removed
therefrom.
