US Patent:

48353817, May 30, 1989

Filed:

Oct 30, 1987

Appl. No.:

7/114787

Inventors:

Peter Sorensen - Garland TX

Assignee:

Varo, Inc. - Garland TX

International Classification:

H01J 516

US Classification:

250227

Abstract:

A source discriminator comprises a diffusing surface (10) provided to receive radiant energy over a wide field of view. Radiant energy received is transmitted from the diffusing surface (10) along an optical fiber (12) of a preselected numerical aperture to a radiant energy filter or grating (18). The numerical aperture of the optical fiber is preselected to provide an acceptable half-cone of arrival of radiant energy at the filter or grating (18). From the radiant energy filter or grating (18), the radiant energy passes to photosensors, the output signals of which are used; is the source discriminator system.

Filed:

Apr 29, 1987

Appl. No.:

7/044007

Inventors:

Thomas F. Whittaker - Bedford TX
Wayne E. Isbell - Dallas TX
Peter Sorensen - Garland TX

Assignee:

Varo, Inc. - Garland TX

International Classification:

G02B 2734
G02B 2736

US Classification:

356252

Abstract:

Disclosed is a reticle generator having an azimuth array (64) of light emitting diode filament lines and an elevation array (66) of orthogonal light emitting diode filament lines. The arrays (64, 66) are fixed by rigid bracket members (136, 144) with respect to the faces (74, 80) of a partially reflecting prism (76). An illuminated LED filament line projected into the prism (76) by azimuth array (64) is reflected by the partially reflecting surface (82), and emitted from prism face (84). A selected LED filament (78) from elevation array (66) is transmitted through the prism (76) and emitted from face (84) and thus superimposed with the azimuth filament line (72).

Appl. No.:

5/557529

Inventors:

Richard H. Laughlin - Richardson TX
Peter Sorensen - Garland TX

Assignee:

Varo, Inc. - Garland TX

International Classification:

H04B 900
H04N 704

US Classification:

250199

Abstract:

The specification discloses a wireless optical communications link which includes a transmitter housing having circuitry for receiving electrical audio and video signals. A light emitting diode is mounted in the transmitter housing for generating a directional beam of light. Circuitry modulates the beam of light in accordance with the audio and video signals. A receiver housing is adapted to be located remote from the transmitter housing and includes an aspheric Fresnel lens for receiving and focusing the beam of light. A photodiode is mounted in the receiver housing for generating electrical output signals in response to the received beam of light. Circuitry is responsive to the electrical output signals for reconstructing the audio and video signals at the remote location.
