| 7162115 | Multiport wavelength-selective optical switch An multiport, multi-wavelength optical switch having and array of angular beam-directing devices employs an anamorphic optical system that transforms a beam corresponding to a given wavelength of a given multi-wavelength input channel into a beam, at a plane of the ... | 01/09/2007 |
| 7076137 | Positioning and measuring station for photoelectric elements A positioning and measuring station for photoelectric elements includes a base, a platen, a five-axis driving module and a retaining member. The platen is for holding a measuring object. The five-axis driving module is located between the base and the platen for dri... | 07/11/2006 |
| 6978569 | Tilt indicator for firearms A tilt indicator for use on a firearm includes a signal to indicate if the firearm is level or out of level. The signal is located to be viewed by a user via the user's peripheral vision and his secondary concentration so the user can maintain his primary concentrat... | 12/27/2005 |
| 6975353 | Immersive camera system An immersive scanning camera provides for a high speed imager to capture a scene of interest on a pixel by pixel basis. Distance data is collected for each pixel. This distance data is representative of the distance from the immersive camera of the object depicted b... | 12/13/2005 |
| 6944200 | Laser oscillator A support unit for supporting an OPM holder so as to be perpendicular to a laser beam axis is disposed in the lower part of the OPM holder. A rotary shaft is inserted into the support unit and rotary shaft support unit, and the OPM holder and DT base are assembled t... | 09/13/2005 |
| 5933223 | Optical device for measuring small dimensions in vivo A device to measure the relative location in three dimensional space of anatomical structures by injecting a beam of light into an optical imaging device and projecting the beams of light onto the object being imaged. By virtue of the change in the image ... | 08/03/1999 |
| 5545160 | Computer oriented stereotactic microneurological surgery An operating microscope has extensions on which are mounted neon lasers which focus beams through the focal point on the optical axis of the operating microscope. The beams produce two spots on an object when the object is away from the focal point, and a... | 08/13/1996 |
| 4943149 | Telescope A bearing bush with a side opening is mounted within a telescope barrel. The telescope thus may be easily mounted on a tilting axis by simply inserting an axle into the bush. Mounting and adjustment of the tilting axis within its bearings and of angular m... | 07/24/1990 |
| 4430695 | Visual landing aids for aircraft Apparatus for aligning an aircraft landing aid projector of the type which comprises a light source located at the focus of a parabolic reflector, a lens mounted coaxially with the parabolic reflector and a filter disposed intermediate the reflector and l... | 02/07/1984 |
| 4191468 | Range finding fiberscope A range finding fiberscope for measuring the distance of a point in space from a reference plane. The device is adaptable to use in confined spaces and has a variety of applications including industrial, medical and photographic.... | 03/04/1980 |
