Abstract: Limited partnerships formed for specified public purposes, such as qualified low-income and elderly housing construction and services, are federally tax advantaged. In accordance with the present invention, tax credits and/or passive losses are leveraged by being directed into a method of funding charitable works, for instance school construction projects. A $1 million investment in a qualifying tax credit and/or passive loss plan, with recoupment of the investment after 13 years, will return 8.05% after taxes over 13 years if 50% of the tax credit amounts are donated to a qualified charity or public entity; this results in a net benefit to the donor of $1,759,450 and a total contribution to the charitable entity of $615,000. That contribution can, in accordance with the invention, fund the issuance and retirement of municipal bonds secured principally by the contribution, sufficient for a school construction project of about $500,000.

Abstract: A wavefront sensor includes a plurality of lenses disposed in the same plane, and an area sensor that receives a bundle of rays of light collected through each of the lenses as a luminous point. Each of the lenses comprises a plurality of concentric areas with different focal lengths, and the area sensor is located substantially halfway between a first position in which a plane wave forms an image after passing through one of the concentric areas with a minimum focal length, and a second position in which the plane wave fronts an image after passing through another area with a medium focal length. With the wavefront sensor thus arranged, the measurement can be always achieved with high accuracy without involving noticeable blurring of luminous points on the area sensor regardless of the wavefront shape of a light beam indent to the lenses.
