Fiber Optic Light Source For Display Devices
US Patent:
7146084, Dec 5, 2006
Filed:
Jun 16, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/462468
Inventors:
Robert Atac - Batavia IL, US

Assignee:
CMC Electronics, Inc.
International Classification:
G02B 6/04, G02B 21/00, G02B 27/14
US Classification:
385115, 385116, 385 14, 385 1, 385901, 385 32, 362 13, 362 34, 362237, 362557, 359 13, 359630
Abstract:
A light source includes at least one optical fiber having a length and first and second ends and at least one electromagnetic wave source disposed along at least a portion of the length of the fiber for transmitting electromagnetic waves through a side surface of the fiber. A reflective surface is disposed at the first end of the fiber for directing light generated within the fiber toward the second end. A heads-up display can make effective use of the light source.

International Classification:
G02B 7/02, B29D 11/00, C09J 5/00
US Classification:
359811, 156305, 264 27
Abstract:
A system for aligning a plurality of high-precision lenses in a lens train. Each of the lenses has at least two alignment tabs disposed around the perimeter of the lens. The lenses are aligned by placing the lenses in a jig having a plurality of high-precision alignment blocks. The lenses are attached to a lower-precision shroud, having slots that receive the alignment tabs. A gap-filling adhesive is used to provide a high-precision fit for the lenses in the shroud.

International Classification:
G02B 27/01, G02B 23/12
US Classification:
359353, 359630
Abstract:
A helmet mounted display (HMD) system comprising (i) a display device adapted to be positioned between an eye of a person wearing the helmet and a vision-related device; and (ii) a step-in visor which is positioned between the eye of the user and the display device. The vision-related device is removably attached to an accessory joint so that it can be interchanged between an outer visor for use during the day and night vision goggles for use during the night.

US Classification:
359630, 359634, 359636, 345 7, 345 8
Abstract:
A helmet mounted display (HMD) system comprising a display pod having a light wave optical element. The display pod is designed to be attached to a base plate located above the brow of a helmet using opposing hook and loop-style fastener pads or alternatively, a pair of locking disks. The mounting position of the display pod is adjustable within three degrees of freedom, including lateral positioning along a plane that is co-planar to a mounting surface for the display pod, as well as rotation about an axis that is perpendicular to the mounting surface. The HMD system is adapted to compensate for variations in mounting position using a bore sighting adjustment.
