An apparatus, method, or system of lighting units comprising a plurality of lighting elements, such as one or more LEDs, each element having an associated optic which is individually positionable. In embodiments of the present invention, one or more optics are developed using optimization techniques that allow for lighting different target areas in an effective manner by rotating or otherwise positioning the reflectors, refractive lenses, TIR lenses, or other lens types to create a composite beam. The apparatus, method, or system of lighting herein makes it possible to widely vary the types of beams from an available fixture using a small number of inventoried optics and fixtures. In some cases, by using a combination of individual beam patterns, a small set of individual optics would be sufficient to create a majority of the typical and specialized composite beams needed to meet the needs of most lighting projects and target areas.

A laser range finder includes a circular in-sight field of view which incorporates within it a magnified "TV view" of the target area with the TV view roughly approximating the rectangular shape of a standard television picture. Also within the circular field, over and under the TV view, are a target quality indicator, a range distance display, and other indicators. Within the TV view is a targeting reticle which indicates roughly the footprint of ranging laser pulses such that a target can be selected. The target quality indicator is a bar graph which displays the number of identifiable received reflected laser pulses from a series of such pulses emitted by the range finder. By aiming the range finder at various targets via the footprint reticle, repeatedly firing the range finder and monitoring the target quality graph for each firing, a user can move the range finder to find a surface proximate the target with a reflective quality sufficient to yield an accurate target range reading. Alternatively, with a range finder equipped with Scan mode capability, the range finder can be slowly panned across multiple targets with the range to each target being displayed, in sequence, on the range display.

A touch-pad cursor control method is discussed. The touch-pad invention is placed in an electronic device and its control method is comprised of steps detecting if an object contacts the touch-pad; detecting the location of the object contacting the touch-pad; examining if an input for quick cursor movement exists, if YES, dragging the cursor on the device's display to the corresponding location of the object on the touch-pad in absolute coordinate positioning, if NOT, mapping the moving distance and direction of the object on the touch-pad to the position of the cursor on the device's display in relative coordinate positioning; detecting if an input button of the electronic device is pressed; and finally, executing a command based on an item pointed by said cursor on the display. By basing cursor movement on touch-pad input in both absolute and relative coordinate positioning methods, the invention determines cursor location, achieving a fast moving cursor effect

A staple or nail gun assembly includes a staple or nail gun, a cap feeding device and a cap having a peripheral rim disposed on its underside, a marginal edge on its upper side adjacent a central portion having the shape of a truncated cone. The staple or nail gun and the cap feeding device are generally disposed at opposite ends of the handle of the staple or nail gun. The cap feeding device includes a base, a cap container and a shuttle, and feeds caps sequentially as they are affixed by the gun. The caps are coaxially stacked by means of a coaxial plastic cord or wire with retaining means at the respective ends or in a tubular container with a flanged end. The caps may also be stacked on a rod or held together by melting.

An all-directional camera viewfinder angle adjusting mechanism is proposed, which is designed for use in conjunction with a photographic device for the purpose of allowing the user to arbitrarily adjust the viewfinder angle of the photographic device to any directions within 360° full-angle range both horizontally and vertically so as to aim the photographic device precisely at the target object that is to be photographed. Compared to prior art, the proposed all-directional camera viewfinder angle adjusting mechanism allows the user to precisely adjust the viewfinder angle of a Web camera to any desired directions so that there will be no dead spots in the scene that is to be photographed, and is therefore more advantageous to use than prior art.

An LED light fixture and methods are provided in which the light from central portions of the LED light sources are reflected to illuminate areas on the periphery of an associated area, while less intense light from the sides of the LED light sources illuminate interior portions of the associated area to produce a uniform illumination, both horizontally and vertically, while minimizing direct glare from the light sources. The LED light fixture includes a heat sink having cooling fins on the periphery of the housing.

An endoscope apparatus includes first and second light sources, an endoscope leading end portion, an irradiation window, an observation window, a light irradiation unit and an emission angle changing unit. The first light source outputs laser light for diagnosis. The second light source outputs laser light for therapy. The laser light for therapy is different in spectrum from the laser for diagnosis. The irradiation window and the observation window are provided in the endoscope leading end portion. The light irradiation unit emits the laser light for diagnosis and the laser light for therapy to the object through the irradiation window. The emission angle changing unit changes an emission angle at which the laser light for therapy is emitted through the irradiation window to be smaller than an emission angle at which the laser light for diagnosis is emitted. The object to be examined is observed through the observation window.

A Lidar measurement device for vehicular traffic surveillance and method for use of same are disclosed. In one embodiment, video circuitry acquires video of a field of view having a target therein. A steerable laser progressively transmits laser range-finding signals to the field of view in a horizontal and vertical step-wise manner and receives reflected laser range-finding signals from the target. A processing circuit portion determines target data of the target based upon range and time measurements associated with the reflected laser range-finding signals. The processing circuit then integrates the target data into the video such that the video may displayed with an image of the target and speed measurement associated therewith.

An apparatus and method for aiming and aligning a light wherein a laser light source is mounted in an electrically non-conductive housing having a socket engaging section enabling the apparatus to be mounted in the socket of a light fixture to be aligned, wherein by adjusting the light fixture so that the beam emitted from said laser light source is directed at the desired aiming position for the light, the proper horizontal and vertical position for the light fixture can be quickly and accurately determined.

Aiming of an imaging reader at direct part markings (DPM) on workpieces is enhanced by emitting an aiming light beam during aiming, and by optically modifying the aiming light beam during the aiming to generate an aiming light pattern having an outer bright region illuminated by the aiming light beam and visible to an operator to enable the operator to manually position the bright region to entirely surround at least part of the DPM, and an inner dark region not illuminated by the aiming light beam and surrounded by the bright region. The dark region contains the part of the DPM code to be imaged and read by the reader after the aiming.

A method for aiming a firearm by a person is disclosed. A collimator of static cling vinyl is attached to a lens of eyeglasses worn by the person. The collimator has an aperture formed in opaque material. A sight line is generated from an eye of the person through the aperture of the collimator, through a rear sight of the firearm, across a front sight of the firearm, and to the target. The aperture of the collimator optically clears the vision of the eye of the person to aid in the person's simultaneous visualization of the rear sight, the front sight, and the target.
