摘要： An optical viewing assembly and system for transferring image information from one image modifying device to another image modifying device. The optical viewing assembly includes a first image modifying device connected to a second image modifying device through a quick-release clamping arrangement. The clamping arrangement includes first and second clamping portions integrally formed at opposite ends of a hollow sleeve. Each clamping portion has a split collar that is adapted to receive one of the image modifying devices. Each collar includes a pair of clamping legs that are separated from the sleeve by a slot that extends at least part way around a perimeter of the sleeve to thereby permit movement of the clamping legs toward and away from each other. Movement of the clamping legs toward each other reduces a cross dimension of the split collar to thereby clamp one of the image modifying devices therein. Conversely, movement of the clamping legs away from each other increases a cross dimension of the split collar to thereby release a clamped image modifying device. One of the image modifying devices may be in the form of a scope, while another of the image modifying devices may be in the form of a fiber optic viewer. The fiber optic viewer includes a fiber optic bundle that is divided into first and second fiber optic segments. A forward end of the fiber optic bundle is connected to the ocular end of the scope for transferring an image incident at the first image modifying device to a rearward end of each fiber optic segment. One of the segments may be connected to a digital video camera for recording or transmitting the image, and another of the segments may be connected to an eyepiece for simultaneously viewing the image by a user. Other image modifying devices, such as a night vision monocular, may be connected through a further quick release clamp to the opposite end of the scope for viewing images in low light conditions.

摘要： An optical liquid level transducer is provided that eliminates the need for moving parts, linearization, temperature compensation, material incompatibility with fuel, light output and sensing fluctuations due to temperature changes, and so on. As described, the liquid level is digitally sensed by analyzing axial images of the probe section and outputting changes in liquid level accordingly. The optical liquid level transducer employs an absolute measurement technique with no moving parts such that when power is turned off and restored to the fuel sender, liquid level is automatically determined even if the fuel level in the tank were to change during the “power-off” condition. The optical liquid level transducer is independent of liquid type, temperature and other environmental factors, and does not require special materials that may be incompatible with fuel.

摘要： An optical gauge for measuring the level of a liquid in a container comprises an elongate, tubular member with a central bore. A light source is positioned for projecting radiant energy into the bore along a length of the tubular member. An elongate light collector is spaced from the light source and extends along the length of the tubular member for receiving radiant energy from the light source. The light collector has opposite ends and is formed such that radiant energy incident on a length of the light collector is transmitted to the light collector ends. A light blocking member is located within the bore and extends between the light source and at least a portion of the elongate light collector for blocking at least a portion of the radiant energy from the light collector. The light blocking member is movable with respect to the light collector in response to change in liquid level within the tubular member for varying the position of the radiant energy incident on the light collector to thereby vary the amount of radiant energy transmitted to the light collector ends. At least one photosensor is positioned proximal at least one of the light collector ends for detecting the amount of radiant energy transmitted thereto. With this arrangement, the amount of radiant energy received by the light collector and detected by the at least one photosensor is indicative of the liquid level.

摘要： A variable resistance device comprises an inner elongate, flexible electrode having a longitudinal central axis, at least one outer electrode spaced from the inner electrode and at least partially or completely surrounding the inner elongate electrode to form a gap therebetween. The outer electrode has a longitudinal axis that is at least substantially coaxial with the central axis of the inner elongate electrode. An electroviscous fluid is positioned in the gap between the inner and outer electrodes. An electric field applied to the electroviscous fluid between the inner and outer electrodes causes an increase in the stiffness of the device. In one embodiment of the invention, the outer electrode is also flexible to form a flexible resistance device, the stiffness of which can be controlled by the application of the electric field. In a further embodiment, an enclosed chamber is filled with an electroactive fluid and a piston assembly is mounted for reciprocal movement in the chamber. The piston assembly includes a piston head that divides the chamber into separate chamber portions. At least one bore extends through the piston and is in fluid communication with the chamber portions. An inner surface of the bore forms the outer electrode, while the inner electrode, which may be flexible or stiff, extends coaxially through the bore. When an electric field is applied to the electrodes, electroactive fluid in the bore increases in apparent viscosity and resists movement of the piston in the fluid. A plurality of bores of different diameters may be provided to control the desired amount of damping. The inner electrodes need not be present in all of the bores.

摘要： An optical transducer comprises a light source for emitting radiant energy, a base member, and an elongate light collector positioned for receiving radiant energy from the light source. The elongate light collector comprises a tunnel formed in the base member and a collector window that extends along a length of the tunnel. Radiant energy projected by the light source is received in the tunnel through the window and is transmitted along a length of the tunnel. A portion of the transmitted radiant energy exits the tunnel to thereby vary the intensity of light along the tunnel length. At least one photosensor is positioned for detecting the amount of radiant energy at a location in the tunnel. In this manner, the intensity of radiant energy at the tunnel location is indicative of at least relative position between the incident radiant energy and the at least one photosensor.

摘要： An optical detector for determining the degree of translucency of a medium includes an elongate collector that gathers radiant energy along its length and transmits the gathered energy to its ends. A sensor is positioned in proximity to at least one of the collector ends to detect the amount of radiant energy received by the collector. The amount of radiant energy received by the collector and transmitted to the sensor is proportional to the degree of average translucency of the medium. In one embodiment, the medium is a filter and the degree of detected translucency is directly proportional to the degree of filter contamination. In another embodiment, the medium is a liquid and the degree of detected translucency is directly proportional to liquid level. The collector is preferably formed from one or more fluorescent-doped fiber optics. When a plurality of fiber optics is used, the ends thereof may be terminated in one or more sleeves such that radiant energy transmitted along their lengths can be detected by the sensor.
