  • Publication number: 20060201046
    Abstract: A telescopic firearm scope/sight which is fully integrated with a compact digital camera, and which has size, shape and weight characteristics that are substantially the same as those of a conventional, camera-less telescopic scope, is used to photograph a target proximate the instant at which the target is fired upon. To configure the weapon for photography and firing, the scope is simply placed on the firearm in the same manner as a conventional scope, and the firearm is then fired in the conventional manner. Photographs are recorded, alternatively, in response to the sound of, or the recoil from, the firearm firing. An alternative embodiment eliminates the telescopic sight, but maintains all of the digital photography components, and is particularly useful for smaller-scale firearms such as pistols.

  • Publication number: 20050213962
    Abstract: A firearm scope and related method is disclosed, comprising: a movable aiming icon viewed juxtaposed with images of a target, automatically movable in relation to the images of the target based on at least one accuracy-affecting factor; whereby: the movable aiming icon can be used to aim the firearm at the target while accounting for the at least one accuracy-affecting factor. Additionally, a firearm scope and related method is disclosed, comprising: a viewing monitor for displaying in real time, target images captured by a digital imaging array for capturing photographic images of a target; and the viewing monitor situated in relation to the firearm scope, wherein the target images displayed thereon are viewable by a person firing the firearm when firing the firearm; whereby: the target images displayed on the viewing monitor can be used to aim the firearm at the target without parallax misalignment due to variation in positioning of an eye of the person firing the firearm.

  • Patent number: 5383570
    Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing mats one at a time from a stack of mats, includes a mat retaining structure having a mat loading end and a mat dispensing end for retaining a stack of the mats, the mat within the structure nearest the dispensing end being designated the lead mat, the retaining structure including a mat dispensing slot disposed laterally of and adjacent to the lead mat near the mat dispensing end, a stop member for preventing the lead mat from advancing beyond the dispensing slot, a stack-biasing support member for biasing the stack of mats so that the lead mat bears against the stop member, a lead mat sliding assembly including a mat gripping member having a mat engaging surface and a guide member oriented substantially perpendicular to the dispensing slot for providing a surface along which the gripping member can ride, for guiding the gripping member over and spaced apart from the lead mat, and then toward and against the lead mat, dragging the lead mat along and pushing a portion of the lead ma
