  • Low-profile optical warning system
    Patent number: 9719657
    Abstract: An optical warning system comprises a light head that includes a light source emitting light rays from a light-emitting area. The light rays propagate through an optical diffuser to provide a visual warning signal to an observer remotely located from the optical warning system. A Fresnel optic array positioned between the optical diffuser and the light-emitting area is spaced apart from and spatially aligned with the light-emitting area to receive the light rays emitted from the light-emitting area and form a collimated light beam. The Fresnel optic array is fabricated so that it exhibits increased optical transmission efficiency by reducing light lost to scattering in forming the collimated light beam.

  • Rotating beacon system
    Patent number: 7183938
    Abstract: A rotating beacon system and a method for synchronizing multiple rotating beacons. The rotating beacon system includes two or more rotating beacons and a feedback based control system adapted to sense an angular position of each of the two or more rotating beacons and generate two or more digitally controlled currents, each of the two or more digitally controlled currents conducted to an associated rotating beacon, the two or more digitally controlled currents driving and controlling the angular speed of each of the two or more rotating beacons to regulate a pre-selected phase relationship between multiple beacons.
