Abstract:
A photon absorber minimizes the mixing of unwanted reflected electromagnetic waves with the main clockwise and counter-clockwise propagating electromagnetic waves of a ring laser gyroscope. A round hole in the middle of the absorber allows the main waves to pass and an angulated front surface deflects reflected waves away from the main waves. Most of the reflected waves which impinge on the photon absorber are absorbed. A photon absorber is fabricated from light absorbing filter glass with anti-reflection coatings or from beryllium-copper with an absorptive coating.
Abstract:
A light-emitting apparatus, for enabling a beam of light to be projected on a desired target located a distance away to project the beam on the desired target without any or substantially any undesired movement. The apparatus may include a housing, a light generating device located within the housing and operable to generate a beam of light, a sensing device or devices for sensing an undesired action of the housing, a control circuit operable to provide a control signal corresponding to the sensed undesired action, and a drive device operable to counter act all or at least some of the undesired action of said housing in accordance with said control signal. The sensing device or devices may be one or more gyroscopes, accelerometers or other such devices.
Abstract:
A light-emitting apparatus, for enabling a spot of light to be projected on a desired target located a distance away such that the spot is projectable on the desired target without any or substantially any undesired movement. The apparatus may include a housing, a light generating device located within the housing and operable to generate a beam of light, a sensing device or devices for sensing an undesired action of the housing, a control circuit operable to provide a control signal corresponding to the sensed undesired action, and a drive device operable to counter act all or at least some of the undesired action of said housing in accordance with said control signal. The sensing device or devices may be one or more gyroscopes, accelerometers or other such devices.
Abstract:
A system for identifying and interacting with callers has: a telephone switch for receiving and distributing incoming calls; a messaging server for sending or receiving messages and attachments; and, a software routine for identifying wireless callers and for matching them to messages in the messaging server. The system is characterized in that upon receiving a call the system attempts to identify the call to a caller and of the caller is not already known in the system or identified an automated message is generated and sent to the caller asking for the desired information. In one embodiment the caller sends a message when the call is placed to optimize identification.
