A transparent thin film electroluminescent display device includes a first transparent thin film electroluminescent display having a substrate and a first active layer capable of emitting a spectrum of light in a wavelength of visible light. The transparent thin film electroluminescent display device further includes a second transparent thin film electroluminescent display having a substrate and a second active layer, the first and second transparent thin film electroluminescent displays being arranged in a superposed manner such that the first and second active layers are spaced apart from each other for forming the transparent thin film electroluminescent display device with a superposed structure.

An automatic zoom-sensing riflescope display adapter (RDA) system can illuminate an iris of a user with a beam from a light emitter. The RDA system can activate a display which includes at least one graphical element visible by the user through an eyepiece. Additionally, the RDA system can focus an image of the iris on a sensor. The RDA system can determine a diameter of the iris from the image of the iris using an iris analyzer. The RDA system can develop a calibration table that correlates the diameter of the iris to a zoom level of an optical scope. The RDA system can estimate the zoom level of the optical scope from the diameter of the iris via the calibration table. Additionally, the RDA system can adjust, to match the zoom level, a font size of the at least one graphical element of the display.

A network of scopes, including one or more lead scopes and one or more follower scopes, is provided to allow the respective scopes to track the same presumed target. A lead scope locates a target and communicates target position data of the presumed target to the follower scope. The follower scope uses the target position data and its own position data to generate electronic control signals for use by follower scope to make position movements so as to re-position the follower scope from its current target position to move towards the target position defined by the target position data received from the lead scope. At least the second scope is mounted to, or integrated into, a vehicle, which uses the target position data to move to a new location so as to allow the second scope to better view the target.

A linear crossbow operates in a linear manner parallel to an arrow flight path. The linear crossbow includes a plurality of limbs and a rotatable string let out assembly. The limbs include free ends that are drawn towards the rotatable string let out assembly as a drawstring is pulled rearward. The limbs power the drawstring to propel an arrow along the arrow flight path from a front end of the crossbow.

An automatically aligning riflescope display adapter (RDA) system can illuminate toward an eyepiece with a beam from a light emitter. The RDA system can activate a display which includes an electronic reticle visible through the eyepiece. Additionally, the RDA system can track, with a tracking sensor, a location of a scope reticle based on back reflection of the beam from direction of the eyepiece. The RDA system can detect an amount of optical misalignment between the scope reticle and rhe electronic reticle. The RDA systen can align the scope reticle with the electronic reticle.
