  • Publication number: 20050252062
    Abstract: A scope assembly for use with a projectile firing device including an erect image telescope mounted upon the device. The telescope includes a housing with a series of spaced apart lenses, a reticle display field being disposed along an optical path established within the telescope and which is viewable by a user. A laser range-finding scope is housed within a component in parallel disposed fashion relative to the erect image telescope, the range-finding scope incorporating a microprocessor and timer in operative communication with a pulse generator and an infrared projector. The distance to the target is measured by the laser, pulse detector, and timer. The data is transmitted to the microprocessor which determines the vertical position required to hit the target. The compensated target aimpoint is then illuminated in the reticle display field as a horizontal line.

  • Patent number: 4669868
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for exposing a film of radiation sensitive material overlying a substrate to a pattern of radiation utilizes proximity focusing of a mask pattern onto the film and step and repeat techniques for exposing the entire area of the film to be exposed. The apparatus includes a source of radiation, a substrate holder supporting the substrate with the film of radiation sensitive material thereon in the path of the radiation, and a mask holder for supporting the mask intermediate the radiation source and the film in close proximity thereto for proximity focusing the mask pattern onto the film. A stepping means incrementally moves the mask relative to the substrate to permit exposure of the film area.
