Abstract: An apparatus for analyzing the deleterious characteristics of optically transparent bodies, including distortion, multiple imaging and birefringence. A beam of light is projected along an optical axis onto a beam splitter. The reflected segment passes through the transparent body and is then reflected back along nearly the same path toward the beam splitter by a retro-reflective screen lying at the image plane of the beam. The portion of the reflected beam passing directly through the beam splitter is detected by an optical sensor in substantial orientation with the axis of the beam reaching it. Distortions and multiple imaging are detected by shape changes and images, respectively, in a pattern of opaque areas superimposed on the originating beam. Birefringence is analyzed by polarizing the originating beam and observing the color pattern and intensity reaching the sensor.

Abstract: A test arrangement for assessing the spectral energy distribution-determined response of a night vision device or other electro-optical apparatus. The test arrangement provides a library of spectral energy-distributed test signals or input scenes which may be selected to represent for example typical or extreme conditions expected during field use of the tested night vision device. The test signals originate in an array of energy transducer devices such as light emitting diode elements with each such light emitting diode element proving a limited wavelength component of the wide band composite optical signal received at the input port of the night vision device. Each component signal is arranged to be controlled electrically in presence or absence and also controlled electrically in radiance or intensity according to the needs of the scene being presented; such control is provided by a manual controller or by a programmed digital computer or by other controlling apparatus such as a programmed logic array. The composite test signal may include both infrared and visible components. In addition to control of the composite test signal, other aspects of the performed test such as test scene data storage may also be accomplished in the controller or computer. The disclosed apparatus is especially suited to performance verification of night vision systems in a laboratory environment prior to field use of similar systems. Military and non-military uses are contemplated.

Abstract: A holder for food, drink and utensils includes a flat oval-shaped platform having a central food supporting portion and an upturned peripheral retaining lip, and a pair of cup-shaped recessed compartments connected to and extending below the platform. The compartments are spaced from one another at opposite ends of the platform. One recessed compartment is a beverage container compartment and the other is a utensil compartment. A third recessed compartment can be provided as an option to hold a party dip. The container compartment is larger in diameter than the utensil compartment. The dip compartment is preferably oblong in shape and of a shallower depth than the other two which are equal in depth. The container and utensil compartments make the holder capable of standing by itself in an upright fashion. Further, the two compartments are spaced apart sufficiently to allow insertion of a person's hand between them and then cupping of the hand for gripping the exterior of the container compartment to hold and position the holder with the central platform portion resting on top of the cupped hand and the exterior of the utensil compartment contacting the back of the cupped hand. Also, the compartments each have a tapered configuration which allows stacking of holders with their corresponding compartments in nested relationship with one another.

Abstract: A novel device and method for determining the contrast sensitivity of a subject is provided and comprises a test chart including a plurality of patches systematically organized in a predetermined array, each patch having a plurality of adjacent patterned areas, at least one of which is a pattern of alternate light and dark regions of predetermined contrast, and the remaining patterned areas are solid gray patterns of predetermined reflectance, each contrast pattern being characterized by a space average reflectance equal to the predetermined reflectance value of the adjacent gray patterned areas. The spatial frequency and contrast of the alternate dark and light regions may be varied in the array of patches. In the method for determining the visual contrast sensitivity of the vision system of a subject, a chart of the invention is displayed to the subject at successively shorter distances, and the greatest distance at which the subject can resolve each contrast pattern is determined and recorded.
