Abstract: An illuminated sighting system for a firearm sight, including a first light conductive member having a first light conductive member viewing end that emits a first amount of emitted light which provides a first viewable aiming indicium that indicates alignment of a firearm with a target; a second light conductive member viewing end that emits a second amount of emitted light which provides a second viewable aiming indicium that indicates misalignment of the firearm with the target; wherein the second light conductive member viewing end disposes about the first light conductive member viewing end; and a lens operably coupled to the first and second light conductive member viewing ends.

Abstract: A sighting device, such as a gunsight, includes a support. The support includes a surface. The surface has a surface first section and a surface second section. The surface second section forms a curve. A hollow is delimited by the support surface. An access into the hollow is delimited by the support surface. An elongate light collector has a first section connected to a curved second section. The collector further includes a terminal connected to the second section. Also an illuminating surface of the collector resides at the first section. The light collector first section lies on and along the surface first section. The light collector second section lies on and along said curve of the second section. A light generating source resides in the hollow.

Abstract: A rear gunsight rear gunsight connects to a rear of a gun. A front gunsight connects to a front of the gun. The rear gunsight includes a sight longitudinal axis. The rear gunsight and a straight sight line are optimally aligned relative to each other when the sight longitudinal axis is substantially coextensive with said straight sight line. Further when the rear gunsight and straight sight line are optimally aligned, the straight sight line extends through a lens of said rear gunsight and through an end face of an elongated light collector of said rear gunsight. When the straight sight line and rear gunsight are optimally aligned, the straight sight line is also optimally aligned with the front gunsight. Further the straight sight line and a longitudinal axis of the gun barrel extend in side by side parallel relation. When the rear gunsight and the straight sight line are optimally aligned relative to each other, a bright reference point appears in a hollow tube of the rear gunsight.

Abstract: A packet routing method includes computing, for a source node in the data network and a destination node in the data network, a set of multiple routes providing a set of shortest routes from the source to the destination that satisfy all the truth assignments for the Boolean algebra available from the path in the network. The method selects, for a packet flow, a route where logical conjunction of the policy constraints of the flow and the route is satisfied and where the route has sufficient bandwidth.
