A camera system includes a first imaging sensor, a second imaging sensor, and a controllable mirror system. The mirror system includes a mirror disposed at a fixed position to the first imaging sensor and the second imaging sensor, and a controller to control a signal applied to the mirror. The mirror system transmits a first portion of incident light through the mirror to the first imaging sensor, and reflects a second portion of the light to the second imaging sensor. A method of producing color images includes receiving incident light on a surface of the mirror, controlling the mirror to direct a first portion of the light to a first imaging sensor and a second portion of the light to a second imaging sensor, receiving first imaging sensor data from the first imaging sensor, and receiving second imaging sensor data from the second imaging sensor.

An apparatus, system and method is provided for producing stacked wafers containing an array of image intensifiers that can be evacuated on a wafer scale. The wafer scale fabrication techniques, including bonding, evacuation, and compression sealing concurrently forms a plurality of EBCMOS imager anodes with design elements that enable high voltage operation with optional enhancement of additional gain via TMSE amplification. The TMSE amplification is preferably one or more multiplication semiconductor wafers of an array of EBD die placed between a photocathode within a photocathode wafer and an imager anode that is preferably an EBCMOS imager anode bonded to or integrated within an interconnect die within an interconnect wafer.

A vision system is supported by an articulated support frame having at least one proximal frame member coupled to an attachment device and a pair of distal frame members that retain optical devices in fixed mutual parallelism between optical axes of the optical devices and mounting axes of the distal frame members. A number of joints are mechanically interposed between the frame members that define respective axes of rotation about which the frame members are relatively moveable. The joints afford motion of the distal frame members through spatial trajectories over which the mounting axes diverge from mutual parallelism. A bridge device immobilizes the distal frame members on their trajectories in a binocular viewing configuration in which the mounting axis are parallel.

An augmented reality control system in which the generation and utilization of simple geometric forms of real world objects at the enterprise level are layered onto or based on real world objects. Digital data is aligned to real world objects via surrogate of simplified geometric forms.

Helmet-mounted switch systems are disclosed. A helmet-mounted switch system comprises a mount portion, an electronic device, a power source, at least one accelerometer, and a processor. The mount portion is rotatable around a rotation axis. The electronic device is mounted to the mount portion. The power source is configured to switchably supply power to the electronic device. The at least one accelerometer is operable to measure an acceleration of the mount portion. The system may also include at least one gyroscope operable to measure a rotation of the mount portion. The processor is configured to receive acceleration data. The processor is programmed to determine whether the mount portion is rotating around the rotation axis based on the acceleration data. The processor is programmed to change a power state of the electronic device when the mount portion is rotating around the rotation axis.

A spinnerbait lure includes a chain, flexible tubing thereover, a blade coupled to one end of the chain, and a skirted lead head hook located at or adjacent the other end of the chain. An eyelet is coupled to a central portion of the chain and extends through a hole in the tubing for attachment of fishing line. When relaxed, the spinnerbait lure assumes a substantially elongate configuration. When pulled through the water, the lure assumes a V-shaped configuration caused by the water pressure against the ends of the lure on either side of the eyelet. Then, when slack is provided to the fishing line, the lure assumes again an elongate configuration, and &ldquo;helicopters&rdquo; through the water, with the blade rotating to affect the lure's descent, creating a movement attractive to fish. As soon as the fishing line is pulled taut, the lure again assumes the V-shaped configuration.
