  • Publication number: 20220011564
    Abstract: An optical system comprising includes an off-axis folded three mirror anastigmat (TMA) telescope including a primary mirror for receiving energy from a scene. A secondary mirror is aligned to receive reflected energy from the primary mirror. A fold mirror is aligned to receive reflected energy from the secondary mirror. A tertiary mirror is aligned to receive reflected energy from the fold mirror and to direct energy between the secondary mirror and the fold mirror. A beam splitter is aligned to receive energy reflected from the tertiary mirror, to reflect a portion of that energy to a first imaging sensor, and to pass a second portion of that energy to a second imaging sensor.

  • Patent number: 6308719
    Abstract: A pre-clean deluge system for cleaning automobile white bodies including a cleaning solution filtration and distribution system. The filtration system includes a series of filters specially adapted to remove metal particles from the cleaning solution. The distribution system includes deluge cannons that are position so as to deliver cleaning solution to the interior of the white body in a location during the white body travel so that the particles flushed therefrom are introduced into a small tank prior to a main tank in which the white body is subsequently immersed. The distribution system also provides regulated flow of cleaning solution to the deluge cannons, as well as a bypass to facilitate cycling of cleaning solution for end-of-shift filtration purposes.
