  • Patent number: 11353289
    Abstract: A zero-stop mechanism comprises first and second stop members and a movement limit member. The second stop member is releasably secured to an adjustment mechanism. The movement limit member extends around a turret assembly and has a substantially annular main body from which a lug extends. In a first rotational direction of the adjustment mechanism, the second stop member comes into contact with a first side of the lug whereby the main body is rotated in the first rotational direction until a second side of the lug comes into contact with the first stop member. In a second rotational direction of the adjustment mechanism, the second stop member comes into contact with the lug second side whereby the main body is rotated in the second rotational direction until the lug first side contacts the first stop member.

  • Patent number: 11346769
    Abstract: An ellipsometer uses a broadband light source and a Fresnel cone to produce a simultaneous broadband polarization state generator with no moving parts. The detector of the ellipsometer includes a diffractive element to spatially separate the wavelengths of the light from the sample. The wavelengths may be spatially separated sufficiently that there is no overlap of bands of wavelengths when imaged by a two-dimensional sensor or may be temporally separated. Additionally, the detector separates and simultaneously analyzes the polarizations states of the light from the sample so there is no overlap of polarization states when imaged by a two-dimensional sensor and no moving parts are used. The resulting image with separated wavelengths and polarization states may be used to determine at least a partial Mueller matrix for the sample.

  • Patent number: 11313648
    Abstract: A telescopic sight for a hand-held weapon comprises a housing for an optical system that presents a telescopic image to a user, and a zoom adjustment ring on the housing. The optical system has objective and ocular lens systems and between these an image erector lens system, and a sighting element bearing a graphic image pattern at either a first focal plane between the image erector lens system and the objective lens system or a second focal plane between the image erector lens system and the ocular lens system. An optical zoom system is linked to the zoom adjustment ring for effecting a change in magnification. The zoom adjustment ring is movable over the housing in opposite forward and rearward axial directions between a locked position and an unlocked position to adjust the zoom magnification.
