Patent number: 8110803Abstract: This invention relates to optical sighting apparatus systems, and to methods for visualization and for identifying remote target surface areas without physical contact for the purpose of measurement and/or of treatment of the remote surface. An arrangement of projected light beams indicates the position and size of the target surface in relation to a measurement detector or treatment device, so that the device is accurately directed to the target. In a preferred arrangement separate laser beams form a light distribution indication or brightness pattern at the target and the device is sighted toward the pattern on the target surface area.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2009Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: White Box, Inc.Inventors: Milton Bernard Hollander, Shahin Baghai

Patent number: 7897908Abstract: A method and device are described for controlling and/or attenuating aiming laser beam brightness in a hand held radiometer. The beam from the laser is directed at a target measurement surface and a transversely movable element member is interposed between the laser and the target to change the beam brightness on the target. In a preferred device a slidable or rotatable element intercepts the beam between the laser and target and a calibrated opening in the element of selected size and/or shape allows part of the beam to pass through the element to provide a safe brightness at the target.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2009Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: White Box, Inc.Inventor: Milton Bernard Hollander

Publication number: 20100195697Abstract: Method and apparatus are provided for visibly outlining the energy zone to be measured by a radiometer. The method comprises the steps of providing a laser sighting device on the radiometer adapted to emit more than two laser beams against a surface whose temperature is to be measured and positioning said laser beams about the energy zone to outline said energy zone. The apparatus comprises a laser sighting device adapted to emit more than two laser beams against the surface and means to position said laser beams about the energy zone to outline said energy zone. The laser beams may be rotated about the periphery of the energy zone. The laser beams may be rotated about the periphery of the energy zone. In another embodiment, a pair of laser beams are projected on opposite sides of the energy zone. The laser beams may be further pulsed on and off in a synchronized manner so as to cause a series of intermittent lines to outline the energy zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2009Publication date: August 5, 2010Inventors: Milton Bernard Hollander, William Earl McKinley

Patent number: 7537381Abstract: A radiometer includes a sighting system which generates an image of an area on the surface of an object onto the IR detector. The distance between the object surface and the radiometer is measured by a rangefinder, controlled by the radiometer. From the distance one can calculate the size of the energy zone on the surface, as materialized on a radiometer sighting system display.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2005Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: White Box, Inc.Inventors: Milton Bernard Hollander, Shahin Baghai

Patent number: 7307255Abstract: An infra-red measurement device is disclosed having at least two laser emitters (2) which between them define a sighting area (7,7?,7?). In one embodiment of the invention, two lasers are provided and these are each preferably split into a number of beams by means of, for example, a diffraction grating lens (4). The fact that there are two laser emitting devices, means that effectively twice the power can be utilised since the limit is per laser emitting device, and thus twice the brightness of a conventional device attained. In another embodiment of the invention, four laser emitters (2) are employed and the beams (6) can be split by a diffraction grating as before. The laser emitters in the device can be operated simultaneously, sequentially, or can be pulsed. Having greater brightness than conventional devices, the detectors of the invention are excellent for use in dark or smoky conditions, for example for obtaining the temperatures of car engines, furnaces and the like.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2004Date of Patent: December 11, 2007Assignee: White Box, Inc.Inventors: Milton Bernard Hollander, Shahin Baghai

Patent number: 7259686Abstract: A thermoelectric connector module (C) is disclosed which comprises input (2) and output (1E) connectors and contains signal conditioning circuitry (1C). The input connectors (2) are interfaced with a hand-held detector (7), and the output connectors (1E) are connected to signal-utilising apparatus (11). The module does not contain a battery but receives its power supply for the conditioning circuitry from the signal-utilising apparatus supplied via the output connectors (1E). In this way, the module may be miniaturised, making it particularly suitable for mounting directly on a hand-held temperature detector or probe. Since the connector does not have to be opened for a battery replacement, it can be permanently hermetically sealed, providing resistance to dirt, dust, moisture, water and the like.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2004Date of Patent: August 21, 2007Assignee: White Box, Inc.Inventors: Milton Bernard Hollander, Michael A.

Patent number: 7052175Abstract: The invention relates to instruments, such as radiometers, which generate a laser beam for striking a target at a distance to assist in aiming the instrument at a selected area of a target. Provision is made for splitting a single beam, used for instance for centering the instrument on the target, into a plurality of beams for creating a pattern or for defining an area on the target. When a single beam is split, the resultant plural beams produced are of relatively lower power, which may be insufficient for visibility on a target at a distance. In a first embodiment the invention provides apparatus to increase the power of the single laser beam when it is split, so as to provide plural beams of appropriately higher power and visibility. In a second embodiment, the invention provides apparatus for attenuating the beam power when a single beam is used, and for removing the attenuation when the beam is split into multiple beams.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2005Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: White Box, Inc.Inventor: Milton Bernard Hollander
