  • Patent number: 8378279
    Abstract: A portable integrated laser optical target tracker and designator (PILOTT device) in a single housing is provided having a laser designator assembly to produce a focused laser beam that is projected from the housing. A laser energy detector is located in the housing that detects reflected laser energy from any designation source (ground or airborne based), provides steering information, decodes the laser's frequency, and is used as a range finding receiver. The location of the laser energy provides automatic field alignment of the laser designator. An optical magnification scope is mounted in the housing and has an optical field of view that is parallel to and aligned with a beam path defined by the laser beam focusing optics. Any night scope can be added to the system to provide night situational awareness by being shown in the display. A visual electronic display is overlaid with the optical field of view.

  • Patent number: 6712470
    Abstract: A support system for at least one of ophthalmic and optometric instruments. A first instrument supporting member is pivotable between a first storage position and a first use position. A second instrument supporting member is moveable between a second storage position and a second use position. The patient can be sequentially examined, in any order, by the first and second instruments while remaining in a test position.

  • Patent number: 6575575
    Abstract: The present invention provides a power operated instrument stand for use, for example during eye examinations. The instrument stand has a motorized arm to aid in precise placement of instrumentation. The instrument stand also has control circuitry for room lighting levels, patient chair positioning and slit lamp operation. The instrument stand may be controlled through an attached control pad, or a remote control.
