20100243890 | OPTICAL BYPASS DEVICE - An optical bypass device comprises a pair of prisms. The capture apertures of the prisms are provided on either side of a projector block. The exit apertures are substantially adjacent to one another. In this manner the prisms can act to direct incident light around the projector block and into the image intensifier aperture. In the projector block is provided an OLED screen operable to display an image including text overlay information corresponding to that captured by the thermal imaging camera. The image is projected through a small opening provided where the prisms are connected. | 09-30-2010 |
20110032362 | LIGHT GUIDING DEVICE - A light guiding device is operable to receive incident light emitted by a light source through a capture surface. The received light exits the light guiding device through an exit surface provided adjacent to and aligned with an aperture of light receiver. In this manner, light from the light source can be inserted into the receiver where it may be combined with additional incident light captured by the receiver. The light source might be a projector and the light projected may correspond to operational data relating to the operation of the receiver or images corresponding to data captured by a further receiver device operating with a different form of sensor or in a different region of the spectrum. In order to improve the composite image observed by a user of the light receiving device, the operation of the light source can be controlled to vary the intensity of the light emitted. In one example, this variation can be in response to the ambient light level, as sensed by a suitable sensor. An additional or alternative variation is to vary the intensity in a pulsed manner between a peak and a low level. | 02-10-2011 |
