Abstract: An improved focusing mechanism that integrates magnetic measurement of a position sensor magnet on a focus adjustor wherein the focus position is based on capturing a focus mechanism's position with use of the position sensor magnet and 3D magnetometer and storing that captured position in memory thus allowing users to setup and save a focus mechanism's position facilitating the quick re-focusing on previously saved positions is disclosed.

Abstract: A boresight alignment system for an aiming device that aligns the bore of the weapon to the optics, in this case the reticle, by incorporating the use of a HUD to produce the reticle in an aiming device, thus allowing electronic adjustment of the reticle that can be stored in the aiming devices memory and eliminating the necessity for manual adjustments of azimuth and elevation settings is disclosed.
Abstract: Handheld optical devices (HOD) such as binoculars, spotting scopes and riflescopes that have an integrated camera wherein the camera, via Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi, sends an image to a mobile phone, which then processes the image with a third party computer application for real time identification of the object being viewed are disclosed.
Abstract: A target spotting device incorporating target acquisition improvements using patterned dichroic coatings wherein a color is assigned to an individual Bullet Drop Compensation reticle and/or other reticle elements to improve the observer's rate of target acquisition is disclosed. These dichroic patterns coatings can also be used individually or with etch and fill, chrome, anti-reflective chrome or holographic reticle elements. Patterned dichroics coatings can be incorporated into both 1st or 2nd focal plane reticle locations.
