Abstract:
A controllable light reflective device made up of a chamber having at least a portion of its walls transparent to form a window therein with a light reflective structure forming part of or associated with said window. A fluid is placed in the chamber with structure for controllably displacing the fluid to and from a selected portion of the chamber and in optical cooperation with the reflective structure so as to control the amount of incident light which is reflected by the device through the window.

Abstract:
THIS INVENTION CONSISTS OF APPARATUS WHICH UTILIZES A SUPPLIED CHART IN WHICH DATA IS STORED IN ELEMENTARY REGIONS, USING ONE ELEMENT OF A MULTIELEMENT CODE TO DELINEATE THE DATA QUANTUM ASSIGNED TO EACH ELEMENTARY REGION. THE EQUIPMENT INCLUDES AN ARRANGEMENT WITH WHICH THE REGIONS ALONG ANY ARBITRARY DEFINED PATH ACROSS THE FIELD OF THE CHART ARE SENSED TO PROVIDE SIGNALS WHICH ARE UTILIZED TO OUTPUT THE DATA PROFILE ALONG THE SELECTED PATH.

Abstract:
AN AUTOMATIC STEREOMAPPING SYSTEM INCORPORATING A MECHANICALLY AND ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED SCANNING ARRANGEMENT. IN ONE EMBODIMENT MEANS ARE PROVIDED FOR ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLING THE POSITIONNG OF THE SCANNING MEANS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DETECTED TIME DISPLACEMENT OF THE SIGNALS OBTAINED AS A RESULT OF SCANNING EACH INCREMENTAL AREA SO AS TO ELECTRONICALLY COMPENSATE FOR ANY HEIGHT ERROR WITHOUT HAVING TO WAIT FOR MECHANICAL COMPENSATION. IN ANOTHER EMBODIMENT ELECTRONIC DIFFERENTIAL DELAY MEANS ARE USED TO ELIMATE ANY TIME DISPLACEMENT BETWEEN THE SIGNALS OBTAINED FROM SCANNING. IN THE FIRST EMBODIMENT A MEASURE OF HEIGHT IS OBTAINED IN RESPONSE TO THE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC POSITIONS OF THE SCANNING MEANS, AND IN THE SECOND EMBODIMENT IS OBTAINED IN RESPONSE TO THE MECHANICAL POSITION OF THE SCANNING MEANS AND THE AMOUNT OF DIFFERENTIAL DELAY REQUIRED TO COMPENSATE FOR ANY TIME DISPLACEMENT BETWEEN THE SIGNALS OBTAINED FROM SCANNING.
