  • Publication number: 20130222783
    Abstract: Method for suppressing an echo signal in a range finder device, which has at least one light-sensitive receiver and at least one laser light source as transmitter, characterized in that at least one counter signal corresponding to the echo signal is generated and which counter signal is super-imposed to a signal generated by the transmitter.

  • Publication number: 20130222983
    Abstract: A long-range optical device with at least one replaceable electrical energy storage device for supplying power to the long-range optical device, which energy storage device is disposed in a closable compartment of the device incorporating electrical contacts, wherein an adapter is provided which can be inserted in the compartment instead of the energy storage device, which is configured to run a data exchange with at least one other component, in particular a memory, of the long-range optical device and/or by means of which the long-range optical device can be supplied with power.

  • Patent number: 8441621
    Abstract: The invention describes a long-range optical device (1) with two observation parts (3, 4) and a first observation beam path (11; 12) and a measurement beam path (25), in which the two observation parts (3,4) are arranged essentially parallel next to each other and spaced a predefinable distance (10) apart via at least one connection element (7). In a plan view of the device 1 with respect to a plane, in which the longitudinal axes (8, 9) of the observation parts (3, 4) are arranged, the sub-regions of the observation parts (3, 4) facing each other lie directly opposite each other over a length aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis (8, 9) of the observation parts (3, 4) of 20% to 90%, preferably 30% to 80% of a length (24) of the observation parts (3, 4). In addition, the observation beam path (11, 12) and the measurement beam path (25) are arranged outside the sub-regions (22, 23) of the observation parts (3, 4).

  • Publication number: 20120298749
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining a replacement distance when taking aim on a target (2) with a target distance D (6) and an elevation angle ? (5) between a line of sight (4) to the target (2) and a horizontal plane (3) with a weapon (9) in order to fire projectiles with an approximately flat trajectory. The replacement distance is determined from the target distance D (6) by means of a correction function, and the correction function is determined exclusively from non-ballistic characteristic values and at least as a function of the target distance D (6) and the difference in angle between the elevation angle ? (5) and the shooting angle.

  • Publication number: 20110128619
    Abstract: The invention describes an observation device (1), having at least two observation parts (3, 4) with an ocular side (6) and an objective side (5). In a position of use the longitudinal axes (40, 41) of the observation parts (3, 4) in the region of the ocular sides (6) are spaced apart by a distance (47) of at least 54 mm and the two longitudinal axes (40, 41) define a plane of reference (49).
