Publication number: 20230418049Abstract: A two-layer optical beam steering device, system, method of utilization and method of fabrication are disclosed. The solid-state device enables beam steering in two dimensions with dramatically fewer control lines than prior devices. This renders the device more technically realizable, easier to control, and more affordable to manufacture. Because less data need be transferred to the device, the device is also able to operate at faster speeds.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2021Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: John R.

Patent number: 9885535Abstract: A compound bow comprising a handle portion having a first limb and a second limb extending outwardly therefrom, a wide body cam assembly pivotally coupled to the first limb near an outer end thereof, and a dual wheel assembly pivotally coupled to the second limb near an outer end thereof. The wide body cam assembly comprises a main sheave and a collector sheave located on opposite sides of a cable sheave. The main sheave is spaced apart from the cable sheave by a first distance sufficient to permit arrows to be fired from the bow free from interference by a cable without the use of a cable guard. The dual wheel assembly comprises a feed out sheave and a take in sheave separated by a second distance which is larger than the first distance. The feed out sheave is positioned substantially within a plane defined by the main sheave.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2016Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Inventor: John D. Evans
