  • Orbiter for pyroelectric focusing devices
    Patent number: 4095257
    Abstract: Infrared light from an object directed into a thermal imaging television camera by a lens is passed through an angularly mounted rotating plate to impart orbital motion to the image received upon the image plane of the camera. A variable speed drive is operatively connected to the plate by an elastomeric belt to rotate the plate with a minimum of mechanical vibration. The operator can adjust the speed of the plate's rotation to improve the clarity of the particular scene being televised.
