Abstract: A method for measuring optical distortion in a transparency is described which comprises the steps of acquiring an analog image of a grid board through the transparency, digitizing the analog image to form a digitized image comprising a multiplicity of pixels defining the shape of the grid board as viewed through the transparency, locating on the digitized image the pixels defining the grid and determining optical distortion of the transparency by comparing the shape of the grid in the digitized image to the actual grid shape on the grid board.

Abstract: A system for measuring optical angular deviation in a transparency such as an aircraft or automobile windscreen, visor, optical lens or the like is described wherein orthogonal first and second incoherent light line images are combined and separately optically encoded, such as by wavelength or by polarization vector using suitable color or polarization filters or beamsplitters, and projected through a transparency under examination, the combined images then separated to detect simultaneously and separately the vertical and horizontal components of angular deviation at a specific location in the transparency.

Abstract: A diffuse incandescent runway marker light apparatus has a housing with a visible light diffusing plate mounted in one end and an infrared light diffusing plate mounted in the other end, and a pair of incandescent light sources mounted in the housing and aimed toward the respective housing end plates. A switch, when flipped to a first position, turns on one light source for producing visible illumination and turns off the other light source. The switch, when flipped to a second position, turns off the one light source and turns on the other light source for producing infrared illumination. In such manner, the appropriate type of illumination for marking the runway for overt or covert landing operation may be selected. When the switch is flipped to a third position, both light sources are turned off.

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.
