Matthew Thurner has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Testing system for optical aiming systems with light emitter systems including testing system for thermal drift and related methods
    Patent number: 10215531
    Abstract: Exemplary testing systems and methods are provided including a system configured to test for thermal drift of a unit under test (UUT) under various temperature or environmental conditions and generating an output including visual or data on the thermal drift, if any. The methods involve attaching a UUT to a mounting device within a thermally controlled chamber, collimating light received from a UUT, recording the resulting images, and comparing the results at different temperatures to determine how much thermal drift has occurred. In addition, there are testing apparatuses capable of performing the tests.
