The present disclosure relates to an image generator device () for changing the direction of at least one emitted light cone at a surface (), comprising an image generator () and a fibre optical faceplate () having a first () and a second surface (), the fibre optical faceplate () being arranged to transmit light from the image generator () so at least a part of light entering the first surface () of the fibre optical faceplate () exits through the second surface () of the fibre optical faceplate () and pass through an aperture, wherein the fibre optical faceplate () comprises a multitude of optical fibres () and light exiting the second surface () through optical fibres () each form an emitted light cone. A surface structure () is arranged at the second surface () of the fibre optical faceplate (), wherein the surface structure () is arranged to changing the direction of at least part of the emitted light cones exiting the second surface () of the fibre optical faceplate () towards the aperture.

Device, system and method for changing the direction of emitted light cones

The present disclosure relates to a landing assistance system and method () for assisting an airborne vehicle () during landing on a landing area (). The landing assistance system () provides the airborne vehicle () with light signals. The landing assistance system comprises at least one geographically positioned light emitter () arranged at near ground level on the landing area (). At least one first light emitter () of the at least one geographically positioned light emitter () is arranged to emit light to a designated position in space. The light comprises at least three light beams (B-B), wherein a first beam (B) being a central beam, which indicates a designated glideslope, and at least a second beam (B) and third beam (B) indicating that said airborne vehicle () is positioned under or above the designated glideslope, respectively.

Airborne vehicle assisted landing system and method thereof

A stabilization arrangement () for stabilizing an antenna mast (), comprising an antenna mast () and a gyroscopic stabilizer device (), wherein the gyroscopic stabilizer device () in turn comprises a flywheel (), a flywheel axis (), wherein the flywheel () is arranged about the flywheel axis (), and a gimbal structure (), wherein the flywheel () is suspended in the gimbal structure () and the gimbal structure () is configured to permit flywheel precession or tilting about at least one gimbal output axis (). The gyroscopic stabilizer device () is fixedly arranged in connection to a first end portion () of the antenna mast () and the antenna mast () is fastenable to a supporting structure at a second end portion () of the antenna mast (), wherein the gyroscopic stabilizer device () is configured to reduce movements in a plane perpendicular to the extension of the antenna mast ().

Compact head-up display that includes a flat lens with a structured pattern

The present disclosure relates devices and a method for monitoring a display image () in a transparent optical projection display. They disclose a display image monitor () comprising a fiber optic face plate () and an image sensor (). The fiber optic face plate () comprises a first surface () with optic fiber ends and a second surface () with corresponding optic fiber ends and transfers light from the first surface () to the second surface () through the optic fibers, wherein the first surface abuts against a part () of the display image () at a focused image plane () and thus the light of the part of the display image enters the optic fiber ends and wherein the second surface is arranged to direct the part of the display image to the image sensor, thereby transferring the part of the display image to the image sensor.

Face plate in transparent optical projection displays

A head-up display system for facilitating the use of night vision goggles for a person in a vehicle during night vision conditions, the system comprising a light source for providing light to an image source arranged to project an image on a semi-transparent combiner mirror arranged to superimpose the projected image onto a view of the environment in front of the vehicle. The system also comprises a first and a second light source for alternatively providing light to the image source; the first light source being arranged to emit light of a first color in a first light emission spectrum, perceived as green, and to be used during daylight conditions, and the second light source being arranged to emit light of a second color in a second light emission spectrum, perceived as yellow or orange, and to be used during night vision conditions.
