Abstract: A system for target designation by laser comprises circuitry for precise alignment of the aircraft and pod lines of sight. The alignment circuitry operates digitally in a computer in which the director cosine data of the aircraft and pod lines of sight are compared to provide error signals fed to corresponding servo-controls. Alignment is obtained by the introduction of corrective data utilized for producing vector rotations, the corrective data being produced by means of a manually controlled stick device, integration circuits and a non-volatile memory.

Abstract: A device for the separation and alignment of objects of the packages, parcels or similar kind, including a conveyor for the parcels brought in bulk to the inlet and for discharging the same parcels separated and aligned at the outlet, which includes at least one truncated cone opened at its ends, driven continuously in rotation about its axis which is inclined with respect to the horizontal and which includes in its inner surface a set of helical wings, axially offset with respect to one another and extending when taken together over at least one complete turn of the truncated cone, the parcels introduced at the upper end of smaller diameter at the inlet of the truncated cone being discharged at its lower end of larger diameter at its outlet.
