OPTICAL DEVICE KNOB HAVING VARIABLE RESISTANCE TO ROTATION

An optical device housing has a post rotatably extending therefrom and a sleeve fixedly extending therefrom. The sleeve is disposed around the post. A knob is connected to the post. A clutch mechanism includes: a friction element movably engaged with the sleeve; a friction surface; and an adjustment element engaged with the friction element and rotatable relative to the optical device housing and the knob housing. Rotation of the adjustment element selectively engages the friction surface with the interior surface.

ELECTRONIC REDUCTION OF PARALLAX ERRORS IN DIRECT-VIEW RIFLE SCOPES WITHOUT RANGING

An example rifle scope includes a plurality of light emitting devices for sending illuminations directed to a distal end of the rifle scope. A plurality of optical detectors detects reflected light received from the distal end of the rifle scope. Each of the optical detectors produces data regarding the reflected light each optical detector observed. A processor device receives the data on the reflected light from the optical detectors and adjusting a position of a field lens so an eyepoint projected in a target space of the rifle scope coincides with an optical axis of the rifle scope removing parallax errors due to misalignment.

Weapon usage monitoring system having predictive maintenance based on analysis of shot separation

A system and method for determining an operational status of a firearm based on a discharge event is provided. A first acceleration is measured on the firearm at a first time. A second acceleration is measured on the firearm at a second time. A measured shot separation of first and second accelerations between the first and second times is calculated. The measured shot separation is compared to at least one shot separation threshold. A speed of a movement member in the firearm is assigned based on the comparing. The operational status of the firearm is determined based on the assigned speed. The operational status is communicated to a first user of the firearm in real-time.

PRECISION AIMING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
20180094767 · 2018-04-05 ·

An aiming device comprises a base plate, a top plate, a pivot assembly, a pivot groove, and first and second adjustment systems. The pivot assembly connects the top plate to the base plate for rotation about a first pivot axis. The pivot groove is formed in the top plate to allow deformation of at least a portion of the top plate relative to the base plate about a second pivot axis. The first adjustment system causes relative movement between the top plate and the base plate relative about the first pivot axis. The second adjustment system causes relative movement between at least a portion of the top plate and the bottom plate about the second pivot axis.

Gated conjugation laser

The presently disclosed subject matter includes a laser system, comprising with a phase conjugation laser receiver and transmitter (PCLRT) and at least one processing unit and configured to enable simultaneous designation of multiple platforms each to a respective target.

DOT SIGHT DEVICE
20180045486 · 2018-02-15 ·

An exemplary dot sight device includes a sight body, an illumination unit, an optical system, first, second and third movement blocks, and first, second and third adjustors. The first, second and third movement blocks are disposed in the sight body. The first adjustor is coupled to the first movement block and operable to cause the first movement block to move thereby causing the illumination unit to be displaced along a first axial direction. The second adjustor is coupled to the second movement block and operable to cause the second movement block to move thereby causing the illumination unit to be displaced along a second axial direction different than the first axial direction. The third adjustor is coupled to the third movement block and operable to cause the third movement block to move thereby causing the illumination unit to be displaced along the second axial direction.

Weapon usage monitoring system having shot count monitoring and trigger pull sensor

A system for providing discharge monitoring of a firearm includes an event detection module, a signal processing module and a trigger pull sensor assembly. The event detection module has at least one sensor that senses an acceleration and generates an acceleration signal. The signal processing module receives the acceleration signal. The signal processing module is configured to determine whether the acceleration signal is a discharge event and generate an event detection signal based on the determination and is configured to maintain a shot count of the firearm based on the determination that the event detection signal is a discharge event. The trigger pull sensor assembly senses mechanical movement of a trigger of the firearm and communicates a trigger actuation signal to the signal processing module corresponding to a position of the trigger. The event detection signal is further based on the trigger actuation signal.
