Title: Innovations by Donald A Jacques
Introduction
Donald A Jacques is a notable inventor based in Pittsford, NY (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of imaging technology, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on methods for correcting distortions in imaging devices and mirrors, showcasing his expertise in optical engineering.
Latest Patents
Jacques' latest patents include a "Method for correction of distortions of an imaging device" and a "Method for correction of distortions of a mirror." The first patent outlines a method for providing corrections of distortions in an imaging device. Initial corrections may be achieved through the use of active optics, which apply forces to the imaging device or a compensator device in a common optical path. This process introduces deformations that cancel out the distortions, although it may also induce undesirable secondary aberrations. The invention provides steps for identifying, isolating, and removing these secondary aberrations, along with computing new applied forces that do not induce them.
The second patent focuses on a similar approach for mirrors. It describes a method for correcting distortions by applying forces to the mirror to introduce deformations that counteract the distortions. Like the first patent, this method also addresses the potential for undesirable aberrations and includes steps for their identification, isolation, and removal.
