    Abstract: A sensor for a flexible sensor assembly includes a drive coil, a first set of sensing coils, a second set of sensing coils, and a configuration for sensing for discontinuities in a structure desired to be sensed. A method of operating the sensor can include positioning the sensor proximate to the structure, energizing the drive coil, and sensing eddy currents with the sensing coils.

    Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for improving adhesive bonding between a layer of a device that transmits optical signals, such as a photonics integrated circuit, and a waveguide that helps to transmit at least some of the optical signals. Adhesion methods may include using vapor-phase encapsulation, capillary underfill, or compressive displacement to secure the waveguide to at least one layer of the device that transmits optical signals. In each of these methods, the adhesion method may create an adhesive interface between at least a portion of the waveguide and a contacting layer of the device that transmits optical signals.

    Abstract: A photon detector having an optical transparent plate and photodiode array interconnected by an optical light guide array. The optical light guide array including elements providing a transmission line between the optical transparent plate and the photodiode array, where the position of one or more optical light guide elements is formed to adjust for a miss-registered photodiode individual element. A method for assembling the photon detector includes depositing a non-wetting film on opposing surfaces of the optical transparent plate and/or photodiode array, altering the deposited non-wetting film in regions of individual photodiode elements, dispensing an optical coupler adhesive on the optical transparent plate and photodiode array to form adhesive beads, aligning the opposing surfaces, assembling the opposing surfaces so that the corresponding optical coupler adhesive beads contact each other, and curing the optical coupler adhesive to form a structurally merged photon detector having optical light guide elements.

    Abstract: Improved imaging systems are disclosed. More particularly, the present disclosure provides for an improved image sensor assembly for an imaging system, the image sensor assembly having an integrated photodetector array and its associated data acquisition electronics fabricated on the same substrate. By integrating the electronics on the same substrate as the photodetector array, this thereby reduces fabrications costs, and reduces interconnect complexity. Since both the photodiode contacts and the associated electronics are on the same substrate/plane, this thereby substantially eliminates certain expensive/time-consuming processing techniques. Moreover, the co-location of the electronics next to or proximal to the photodetector array provides for a much finer resolution detector assembly since the interconnect bottleneck between the electronics and the photodetector array is substantially eliminated/reduced. The co-location of the electronics next to or proximal to the photodetector array also enables/facilitates programmable pixel configuration for optimal image quality.
