Use of a muzzle velocity detector with a display allows for a rapid calculation of a second shot firing solution based on a first shot analysis. A doppler radar emitter and detector is located in a housing. The housing has a mount that allows it to be coupled to a hand guard on a rifle. This allows for the muzzle velocity to be detected very close to the end of the barrel. Information about the bullet can be preloaded into a ballistics calculator. The ballistics calculator can be integrated with the muzzle velocity detector or coupled wirelessly to it. The impact location of the first shot is identified and that 'drift' is used with muzzle velocity and many other factors to quickly provide a compensation to be used with the sight to ensure the second shot is more accurate.

A sighting system is disclosed, comprising a housing with small upper mirror mounted in its upper center, redirecting light from a single objective lens set, and a larger lower mirror mounted coaxially relative to the lens set and upper mirror, both mirrors set at 45&#xb0; and redirecting light at 90&#xb0; angles to the lens set. The smaller mirror is positioned closer than the lower mirror to the lens set. A night camera system is used for receiving an image through the lens set redirected by the lower mirror and amplified through an intensifier before transmission to a video display monitor(s). A day camera system receiving the image from the lens set redirected by the smaller mirror transmits the image to the monitor(s) for separate display of the image, enabling simultaneous capture of the optimum amount of light by each camera, maximizing the housing's diametrical space to receive incoming light.

Optical fiber interfaces, apparatuses including the optical fiber interfaces, and methods for manufacturing the optical fiber interfaces. Optical fiber interfaces comprise a cup piece and a base piece. The cup piece includes an open first end for receiving an optical fiber end, and a second end includes an aligning protrusion. The base piece includes a top surface with an aligning cavity and an active optical device coupled to the base piece. The cup piece may be attached to the base piece. The base piece may be part of an outer housing portion of a transceiver or other optical component. The base piece may include a molded-in optical fiber interface and the cup piece may include a clearance cavity. A method for making the optical fiber includes locating the center of the active optical device and manufacturing the aligning cavity into the top surface of the base piece.

The present invention relates to positioning components of an assembly using fiducial features. A first fiducial feature on a first piece of the assembly can be located. A first component can be positioned on the first piece of the assembly based on the location of the first fiducial feature. A second fiducial feature on a second piece of the assembly can be located. The second component can be positioned relative to the second piece of the assembly based on the location of the second fiducial feature. The first piece can be positioned relative to the second piece based on the locations of the first and second fiducial features. The assembly can be an optical device. The first component can be an active optical device, the second component can be a lens, the first piece can be a package, and the second piece can be a lid.
