Patent number: 11214815Abstract: A promoter for high level and sustained expression is provided which can be used for gene expression of chosen sequences in general. In particular, a nucleic acid construct comprising a hCEF1 promoter operably linked to a sequence for expression is provided, where the hCEF1 promoter comprises: (i) a human CMV enhancer operably linked to a human EFI a promoter; (ii) a functional fragment of (i); or (ii) a functional variant of (i) or (ii).Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2014Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: IP2IPO INNOVATIONS LIMITEDInventors: Stephen Hyde, Deborah Gill

Patent number: 9752852Abstract: A sight assembly for mounting to a weapon. A holographic optical element and a light source are in a fixed angular configuration with respect to one another, but may be adjusted either together or individually in a horizontal or vertical direction. The sight assembly may have a mirror or lens. An adjustment mechanism is provided where a shaft includes at least two portions wherein the two portions of the shaft of the screw have different pitch directions and/or pitch dimensions allowing for slight adjustment the assembly. The light source may be a vertical-cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). A temperature sensor may sense a temperature of the VCSEL. A current to the VCSEL may be adjusted based on a change in the temperature such that the output wavelength is approximately the same as a desired wavelength. The assembly may further allow for perceived image distance adjustment using parallax mismatch.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2016Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Ziel Optics, Inc.Inventors: Fred Collin, Kurt Douglas Mills, David S. Dilworth, Rod Collin, Stephen Michael Shubeck, Christopher Stephen Hyde

Patent number: 9500442Abstract: A sight assembly for mounting to a weapon is provided. A holographic optical element and a light source are provided in a fixed angular configuration with respect to one another, but may be adjusted either together or individually in a horizontal or vertical direction. A mirror or lens may also be provided. An adjustment mechanism is provided where a shaft includes at least two portions wherein the two portions of the shaft of the screw have different pitch directions and/or pitch dimensions allowing for slight adjustment of the assembly. The light source is typically a vertical-cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). The wavelength of the VCSEL is controlled by controlling the current it is given. The assembly further allows for perceived image distance adjustment using parallax mismatch. Further, a chassis is provided for holding holographic elements.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2014Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: OptiFlow, Inc.Inventors: Fred Collin, Kurt Douglas Mills, David S.

Publication number: 20160327365Abstract: A compact weapon sight has a housing with a base that is configured to mount to a weapon. The sight may have a holographic optical element (HOE) and a light source. The light source may be a vertical-cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) diode. The wavelength of the VCSEL may be adjusted by controlling the current drawn by the VCSEL and may include a temperature controller to keep the temperature of the light source at or above a minimum threshold temperature without using a thermoelectric cooler or a wavelength sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2016Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventors: Fred Collin, Kurt Douglas Mills, David S. Dilworth, Rod Collin, Stephen Michael Shubeck, Christopher Stephen Hyde

Publication number: 20160313089Abstract: An adjustable holographic gun sight has a base and a carrier pivotally connected to the base. An adjustment mechanism may be adapted to pivot the carrier with respect to the base. A pair of dropouts connects the carrier to the base and the dropouts allow the carrier to pivot with respect to the base. The dropouts may be mounted to an external portion of the carrier and the base thereby provides for external adjustment of the gun sight.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2016Publication date: October 27, 2016Inventors: Fred Collin, Stephen Michael Shubeck, Christopher Stephen Hyde
