  • Patent number: 11366285
    Abstract: Universal electronic exchange system, especially for coupling to telescopes or similar, which includes an automated rotary device provided with a revolver-type rotary plate provided with a plurality of tubular members with holders for respective optical devices, an electric motor connected to the revolver-type rotary plate for transmission of a rotary movement thereto, an electronic unit for tubular-member selection, wherein the electronic unit is made and arranged to receive a selection signal indicative of a tubular member to be used, wherein the selection signal is used for controlling rotation and stopping of the revolver-type rotary plate, process a speed, angular path of rotation and stopping position of the tubular member to be used, and send a command signal to the electric motor of the revolver-type rotary plate for positioning and aligning the tubular member to be used with the optical axis.

  • Patent number: 10643803
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing an electrically insulating support for an electromechanical switch. In some embodiments, the presently disclosed method includes manufacturing at least first and second portions of the support with respectively first and second plastics having different temperature heat resistances and manufacturing the support as a single piece by at least one of an overmolding process and a multi-material injection process. In some embodiments, the electrically insulating support is manufactured according to the method for manufacturing an electrically insulating support. Also provided is a method for manufacturing an electromechanical switch, which in some embodiments includes manufacturing an electrically insulating support according to the presently disclosed method for manufacturing an electrically insulating support and attaching electrically conductive elements to different regions thereof.

  • Patent number: 9910242
    Abstract: Universal electronic exchange system for eyepieces, especially for coupling to telescopes or similar, which comprises: an automated rotary device provided with a rotary plate of the revolver type provided with a plurality of eyepiece holders intended to receive different sizes of eyepieces, and actuation means for said rotary plate, an electronic unit for selecting the eyepiece to be used capable of receiving a selection signal generated by a user, determining the aligned position in respect to the optical axis and sending a command signal to an electronic unit for controlling the rotation and stopping of the rotary plate, which in turn is capable of processing the speed, angular path of rotation, and stopping position of the eyepiece to be used, and sending a command signal to the actuation means of said rotary plate for positioning and aligning with precision said eyepiece with the optical axis.
