AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Mounting a firearm-mounted optical clip-on device, such as a thermal imaging device, in front of a day scope causes overlays to become invisible when the magnification of the day scope is increased, as the display of the clip-on device becomes obscured.
Method used
A firearm-mounted clip-on device with a weapon mount adaptor, display, and control mechanism that adjusts overlay layers without resizing or moving objects in the field-of-view of the day scope, ensuring overlays remain visible across different magnification settings.
Benefits of technology
Maintains visibility of overlay components on the firearm-mounted clip-on device's display when magnification is adjusted, providing essential information to the user through the day scope.

Abstract
A firearm-mounted clip-on device includes a weapon mount adaptor disposed on the device to attach the device to a firearm in front of a day scope mounted on the firearm, a display that is viewable from an eyepiece of the day scope that shows objects in a field-of-view of the firearm-mounted clip-on device and one or more overlay layers superimposed thereon and containing one or more overlay components, and a control that adjusts the one or more overlay layers without moving or resizing objects in a field-of-view of the day scope to cause the overlay components to appear in the eyepiece in the field-of-view of the day scope. The firearm-mounted clip-on device may also include an infrared sensor that provides a thermal image to the display. At least some of the overlay components may correspond to operation of the firearm-mounted clip-on device. The overlay components may include icons and / or text.
