  • Publication number: 20100212208
    Abstract: Optical sights for long guns and handguns. The representative, disclosed optical sight has: a fiber optics assembly which includes an outer, hollow, tubular optical fiber and an optical fiber insert; an optical fiber assembly support comprising integral, spaced apart, assembly-associated support units; magnets for securing the fiber optics assembly support to a rib at the muzzle end of a shotgun barrel; interchangeable mounting/sight alignment brackets assembled to the fiber optics assembly support and configured to match the configuration of the rib of the shotgun barrel; and magnetically engaged plates for clamping the support and the mounting/sight alignment bracket to the rib.

  • Patent number: 5986900
    Abstract: The inventor has created several power supplied to eliminate or greatly reduce the ground loop problem. The inventor has discovered that the ground loop distortion is caused by the switching from positive to negative in alternating current. What the inventor has found is that just placing a diode across the two terminals of a power supply works to eliminate distortion and the ground loop problem. In the two simplest power supplies, the inventor has places a diode across the output from a half wave inverter. This helps to eliminate the ground loop problem and other distortion. The inventor also shows three other more complicated designs for power supply which include diodes and capacitors.

  • Patent number: 5644263
    Abstract: The inventor has created several methods to eliminate or greatly reduce the ground loop problem. The inventor has discover that ground loop distortion is caused by the switching from positive to negative in alternating current. He has designed several devices to eliminate this problem. In his first embodiment he places a set of two diodes either cathode to cathode or anode to anode, or a neon bulb, or piezoelectric crystals in parallel with all the capacitors in an amplifier or other electronic device. These sets of diodes eliminate the ground loop distortion within the amplifier or electronic device. The applicant has also devises several power supply that eliminate or greatly reduce the ground loop distortion in an amplifier or electronic device they are attached to. Also the applicant has found that by attaching two diodes either anode to anode or cathode to cathode, or a neon bulb, or a piezoelectric crystals between an audio, video or digital cable and its ground will reduce distortion within the cable.
