Method and system for aligning a point of aim with a point of impact for a projectile device
09733047 · 2017-08-15 · ·

Methods and systems for aligning a point of aim with a point of impact for a projectile device are disclosed. Using a superposition device coupled to the projectile device, at least one optical reference point is superposed within a first target area. The point of impact is created on a second target area using a projectile expelled from the projectile device towards the second target area. The point of aim for the projectile device is aligned with the point of impact while the position of the at least one optical reference point is maintained. Parallax is eliminated (or minimized) by aligning a primary and a secondary sight alignment indicator with each other and with a common optical axis extending through a scope configured to be coupled with the projectile device.

Elevation adjustment sight assembly
09733046 · 2017-08-15 ·

An elevation adjustment sight assembly, comprising a windage carrier, a lift dial, and a lift spring. The windage carrier is specially structured to fit within a housing. The lift dial and the lift spring are specially structured to fit within the windage carrier and are movable in relation to the windage carrier to thereby adjust the height of a sight held by the housing.

Imaging systems including real-time target-acquisition and triangulation features and human-machine interfaces therefor

Imaging systems that automatically calculate, in real time, relative locations of acquired targets relative to datum targets. In some embodiments, an imaging system of this disclosure can be instantiated as a handheld imaging device having a live-view imaging system or a thermal imaging system, or both. Some embodiments include a ranging system that fires upon the release of a hard button to minimize movement of the imaging system during target acquisition. Some embodiments include speed estimating and/or time of arrival estimating features. Some embodiments can communicate with an external device, such as a central controller device. A central controller device of this disclosure may include triangulation, speed estimating, and/or time of arrival estimating features. Some embodiments of a central control device may allow users to set up and make mission assignments. Some embodiments allow sharing of data among devices, in some cases only on a mission-by-mission basis.

Disclosed are methods, circuits, components, apparatus, devices, assemblies and systems for imaging. According to some embodiments, there may be provided a sight for a firearm to assist in aiming the firearm towards a target in a field of view of the sight. A target view optical assembly introduces additional light information to light passing from an objective-side aperture to a viewing-side aperture. A display array assembly renders and collimates the additional light information coupled into the passing light. And a controller causes a display array of the display array assembly to dynamically render a targeting reticle, wherein a location of the dynamically rendered targeting reticle on the display is a function of a distance to an intended target.
