System and method for creating a collimated space for a high fidelity simulator
11774323 · 2023-10-03 · ·

A system, method, and device for simulating an IR signature to test an IR detection device. At least one infrared LED display is provided. Each infrared LED display contains infrared LEDs that emit the desired IR signature. A reflector reflects the IR signature toward the IR detection device. The configuration of the reflector is dependent upon the configuration of the infrared LED display and whether or not some intermediate lens system is used. The IR signature is collimated as it travels to the IR detection device. The IR signature can be collimated by the reflector or by an added lens system. The IR signature fills the field of view associated with the IR detection system. The IR signature comes from a computer-controlled display. As such, the system can simulate various IR signatures and move those IR signatures throughout the field of view of the IR detection system.

Measuring machine for lens mapping
20230384182 · 2023-11-30 ·

A machine for measuring the optical properties of a lens for a pair of eyeglasses includes a light emitting system for emitting a light beam; a receiver arranged for receiving the light beam; an alignment system configured to align the lens according to a predetermined measuring position; a gripping system configured to grip the eyeglasses; and a supporting system on which the eyeglasses or the single lens are positioned. The alignment system is arranged at a distance from the light emitting system so that at least a lower support element is not intercepted by the light beam. The gripping system is in a closed configuration after the alignment has been performed and then a subsequent shifting of the support structure is carried out to bring the lens under the light emitting system.
