No. 886,898, filed Dec. 22, 1969, now abandoned.
The present invention relates in general to optical devices, and more particularly to a multiple focusing device capable of forming a plurality of beams from a single incident beam.
It is known in the art to break up a beam which consists of radiation of any type or nature into a multitude of beams by means of a plurality of elementary focuses which are regularly or uniformly distributed over the plane surface of a device intercepting a transverse orthogonal section of the beam. A device of this type is used particularly on board satellites for the purpose of studying different radiations in space. It consists of a specific number of spherical caps which are cut off as desired and then polished on the cut-off surfaces thereof and glued onto the plane, also previously polished surface of a crystal, which is made from a substance which is transparent to the radiation to be studied, entirely like the caps themselves.
The entire arrangement thus constitutes a focusing device at the output of which the incident beam is broken up into as many elementary beams as there are spherical caps in the device.
In actual practice, the dimensions of the caps that are employed are relatively small, for example in the order of one millimeter. As a result, the operation of cutting and smoothing the surfaces of these caps as well as the polishing thereof require particular care and techniques which may involve additional, relatively significant expenses depending upon the materials being used.
Such devices do, therefore, have certain drawbacks. First of all, when examining the surface upon which the radiation to be studied must be received, one finds that the respective caps being disposed tangentially with respect to each other allow for the continued presence therebetween of non-used planar surfaces so that, as a result, the radiation-energy received by the non-used surfaces in question cannot be focused and this therefore represents loss without any attendant benefits.
Another drawback of the known devices consists in that they comprise at the joint or junction surface between each of the spherical caps and the base crystal a diopter which constitutes. an obstacle which the radiation to be studied must pass or overcome, thus providing an additional energy loss. The last-mentioned loss moreover is all the more significant as, in order to assemble the different spherical caps on the base crystal, one has recourse generally to gluing, which necessitates the provision of a layer of adhesive material which is more or less adapted to pass the desired radiation and whose unfavorable influence is added to that of the aforementioned diopter.
lt is the primary object of the present invention to obviate the various disadvantages and drawbacks of the prior art devices outlined above and to provide for a multiple focusing device which has a very simple construction.
According to the invention, instead of starting with truncated spherical segments, the initial operation is to cut objectives in the form of small parallelepipeds, preferably right prisms with a square base, in the crystals of an appropriate type, that is to say, transparent to the particular radiation to be investigated, each of said objectives being terminated on one side by a spherical portion which is centered upon the corresponding axis of symmetry of the prism. The diameter of the sphere is preferably of the same length as the diagonal of the square forming the transverse base of the prism.
Other features and advantages of the invention will be best understood from the following description and by reference to the accompanying drawings, the said description and drawings relating to preferred embodiments of the invention, which are given simply by way of illustration and have no limiting character.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a known focusing device;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a focusing device according to the invention;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of another focusing device according to the invention;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an elementary objective according to another embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an elementary objective according to another embodiment of the invention.
Illustrated in FIG. 1 is one of the known focusing devices having a base plate I assumed to be cut in a crystal material which is transparent to the radiation to be studied. On the base plate 1 there is provided a plurality of individual spherical caps 2 which are disposed with their flat faces over the input face of the crystal, with the planar surfaces 3 remaining, however, unused between adjacent caps. The elementary focusesS are obtained on the output surface 4 of the device as a result of the focusing action on the incident radiation by the individual spherical caps 2; however, the aforementioned drawbacks common to the prior art are inherent in this device.
Shown in FIG. 2 are the different object lenses in the form of elementary prisms according to the present invention which are disposed adjacent each other, with the edges or end faces of the prisms being oriented in the sense or direction to provide focusing of the rays.
The spherical cap or end 6 of each one of the elementary object lenses 7 according to the present invention is centered with respect to the axis of the prism, and is formed as an integral part thereof, in a manner such that one of the diameters d of the spherical end is equal and parallel to one of the diagonals d of. the base of the prism. Represented at 8 is one of the elementary focuses which is assumed to be formed or constituted on the diagonal d of each prism 7. I
It is clearly apparent that there is every possibility for modifying, if necessary, the dimensions and the provision of the different elementary object lenses 7 so as to form a mosaic which satisfies precise predetermined conditions or requirements and particularly is susceptible to establishing a well defined network wherein all of the elementary focuses are grouped according to a specific order.
The height of each prism is determined in a manner such that, taking into account the particular refractive index of the material which has been chosen with respect to the wave length of the incident radiation, the elementary focuses of the device may be situated in a plane parallel to the base thereof, or, more particularly, in the very same plane of this surface. If need be, the
energy being concentrated in each of these focuses may be collected again by means of another optical system (not shown) which may be disposed in series with the first one and whose function it is to treat the radiation which it receives and which is transmitted by this first device.
Accordingly, none of the drawbacks and disadvantages of the prior art devices exist in the arrangement provided in accordance with the present invention. The receiving surface of the device according to the present invention is used completely without any loss of radiation; there is no longer an obstacle to the passage of the radiation through the crystalline mass; and as a result of the construction thereof the rays do not traverse or pass the lateral surfaces of the prisms which are designed only to facilitate the assembly of the prisms with respect to each other, for example by means of gluing. As far as the assembly itself is concerned, it may be suitably reinforced by means of an outer framework, or by a plurality of appropriate belts or straps which will enclose the entire combination of elementary object lenses.
Multiple modifications of the device described hereinabove are conceivable. For example, not only the shape and the dimension of the caps but also those of the prisms themselves may be varies, and these variations may be interdependent, if desired, or by contrast they may be more or less independent of each other.
It may be sought, for example, to achieve a particular distribution of the focusing points on the working surface. One may also seek to no longer distribute these points over a plane surface, but to distribute them over a curved or irregular surface, such as illustrated schematically by the displaced focal point 8' in FIG. 2 in face, but a convex cylindrical surface, of which the axis and consequently the generatrices are substantially perpendicular to the direction of the incident light beam. The focal length of the said cylindrical surface is equal to that surface which is common to all the other elements of the initial device. The focal point of the said elementary prism will thus be formed in the common focal plane of the system, in the same way as all the other elementary foci of the device.
Furthermore, it has been considered to be of interest to incorporate in the device according to the invention the improvement which will hereinafter be described.
It was found that the incident rays, having their point of impact in the vicinity of the rims of the entry segments of the elementary prisms, resulted in the formation of reflected rays, certain of which were able, because of their incidence, to penetrate by refraction into the adjoining elementary prism of the system, where they constituted a parasitic radiation capable of reaching the common focal plane and thereby disturbing the anticipated effects.
According to the invention, the lateral faces of the different elementary prisms are coated with an absorbent substance, so that even if a parasitic ray should strike one of these surfaces, it is no longer able to be either reflected or refracted again. Only the useful rays will then be able to converge, as proposed, at the focal point or along the focal line of each of the elementary prisms.
It is also apparent that it would be advantageous to use, as absorbent substance, the adhesive or cement which is used for assembling together the different elementary prisms of the system; for this purpose, it is sufficient to load the said cement with particles which are suitably chosen with the object of absorbing the parasitic rays, for example, carbon particles.
Another improvement is also capable of being added to the basic device according to the invention. It is a question of a means designed to permit the improvement in the optical properties of these different prisms and particularly of suppressing the aberrations thereof. To this end, it is proposed to provide a diaphragm for each of the elementary objectives as described by means of a channel or groove formed on the periphery of the said elements by successively recessing its longitudinal faces so as to form therein a relatively deep groove. The said depth could moreover be made gradually variable, so as to leave, in the corresponding transverse section of the prism, only a substantially circular thickness of crystal, when it is a question of a prism having a square base; in the case of an elongated prism, the solid part would have the form of a rectan gle, of which the two small sides would be replaced by two semi-circles of a diameter equal to the small dimension of the said rectangle.
In all cases, the extreme marginal rays will be eliminated and the focusing effect will thus be improved.
In each specific case, it is expedient to define in the best possible manner the dimensions and the exact shape of the diaphragm by determining a mean term between the improvement in the convergence of the beam and the inevitable loss of radiated energy.
Referring to FIG. 3, it is possible to see at 6 one of the spherical entry segments of a prismatic element according to the invention. An entry surface of cylindrical form is shown at 9, in accordance with the variant to which reference has been made above; the corresponding prismatic element 10 replaces along one of the edges of the matrix three prismatic elements having spherical segments, such as 7. A second element 10 has also been shown in symmetrical form, the complete device illustrated being thus composed of five elements altogether; two elements 10, disposed at the two edges of the device, then three elements 7 placed in the middle of the later.
The focusing process will thus result in the formation of an assembly in the common focal plane, which assembly is formed by two focal lines, each due to one of the elements 10, and between these two focal lines, three punctiform foci, each due to one of the elements 7.
Such an assembly is used more particularly in studies in connection with densitometry, for example, in connection with the investigation of remote ultraviolet radiation.
' FIG. 4 illustrates one prismatic element with a square base according to the invention, in which element a transverse groove or channel 12 has been formed, so
that the preserved central portion of the crystal has a substantially circular form 13 in its smallest section. FIG. 5 illustrates one prismatic element according to the invention, in which element, a transverse groove or channel 14 has been formed, so that the preserved central portion of the crystal has the general form of a rectangle 15, the small sides of which are replaced by semicircles with a diameter equal to the width of the rectangle.
By way of a particular application, a device may be constructed in accordance with one of the modified embodiments of the present invention for the study of distant ultraviolet radiation, this device comprising elementary object lenses cut in monocrystals of magnesium fluoride or lithium fluoride, these two bodies being precisely transparent to the radiation in question which is situated in the region Lyman a A 1216 A). One obtains thereby images with ultraviolet radiation.
Another specific application of the present invention consists of a device designed for piercing a plate with the aid of a laser beam with a view toward obtaining a multitude of perforations having infinitely small dimensions; namely, for example, in the case where it is desired to render this plate porous or barely transparent; and the precise calibration of the perforations being thus obtained is rendered possible by the very slight dispersion of the radiation in coherent light.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to but a single embodiment, it is to be understood that the scope of the invention is not limited to the specific details thereof, but is susceptible of numerous changes and modifications as would be apparent to one with normal skill in the pertinent technology.

Kevin Garnett says he's happy Collins can be himself. Jason Terry says it seems like a tremendous weight has been lifted from Collins. And Jeff Green called him an ''awesome'' teammate who set good screens. Paul Pierce adds that Collins told him Monday morning he was gay. Coach Doc Rivers says Collins informed him a few days ago, but learning the news was a ''nonfactor'' for him. The Celtics practiced for Wednesday night's game in New York. The Knicks lead the series 3-1 and can wrap it up with a win.

05/02/2015Really only gives you half of the main site versions abilities etc. No messaging, no personal page, each time you go back to the hone page after pinning something it goes back to the top, not where you'd scrolled down to.

18/10/2014I've just had a board deleted with 8.500 pins on it! It was my main board and a big interest to my photography. It was deleted by pinterest because it had a bum cheek in it! There are far worse images on pinterest that do show far far more than they should. Yet you can pin images of naked people by famous artists and photographers! Not happy.
06/10/2014Superb app, ticks all the boxes
10/08/2014I find it so irritating when this app won't allow me to simply pin things! also I cant upload pictures from my phone. However it is free and lets me to brows when I'm out and about! *-*

John Chamberlain's Crazy Metal Sculptures Take Over the Guggenheim
Twisting brightly colored fenders, bumpers, and fins into compact beautiful objects, sculptor John Chamberlain gave trashed cars a glamorous second life. Chamberlain, who died last December at the age of 84, was also known for his continuous exploration of new materials and processes. "I think of my art materials not as junk but as garbage," he once said. "Manure, actually; it goes from being the waste material of one being to the life-source of another." In celebration of his five-decades long career, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum recently mounted John Chamberlain: Choices, a comprehensive exploration of his work, and the first retrospective in the US since 1986.

Editorial: Garage work has greater goal of more vibrant downtown
Planners for the 1982 World's Fair envisioned several "skywalks" — covered pedestrian walkways — crisscrossing downtown Knoxville.
They would be constructed with the redevelopment that was sure to follow the success of the six-month-long fair. As it turned out, revitalization of downtown didn't immediately follow, and the walkway is one over Henley Street at Clinch Avenue near the Convention Center.
Now, almost 31 years later, the covered pedestrian walkway idea is back — not as a belated spinoff of the fair but as an improvement to an expanded State Street Garage. And, as with post-fair plans, the beneficiary will be an already redeveloped downtown Knoxville.
The casualty in the expanded garage work was the escalator on the west side of State Street. Located adjacent to the Regal Riviera Theater, the escalator was as convenient as it was popular for many going to and from the garage and visiting downtown.
However, according to Rick Emmett, the city's downtown coordinator, the outside escalator had repair issues and, had it remained, was scheduled for major work this spring.
A temporary staircase will provide access to Gay Street from the garage while the elevated walkway is under construction. A glass roof that Emmett said will be similar to the glass roof over the Convention Center will cover the new walkway.
The $6.1 million State Street Garage expansion entered its second phase this month, with precast concrete being hoisted to the parking garage's top deck. Cranes are to lift 60-foot-by-8-foot columns from State Street.
Phase one of the garage work began in October and included upgrading the structure to support three additional levels if the city chooses to build two more levels in the future. The work involved redirecting traffic on Central Street on the east side of the garage.
The second phase is expected to last through next month. The final phase, which includes architectural work and lighting, should be done in time for the completion of the project in July, Don Freeman, president and CEO of Retenbach, the contractor for the project, said last year when the city announced the project.
The current phase is costing parking places and probably a lot of inconvenience for downtown-goers and downtown workers. This is not only because of work on the garage itself but also because of closings of State and Central streets.
Meanwhile, the city has been assertively looking for more places at the north end of the heart of the city for people who live, work or play downtown to park. Downtown parking has been a serious issue in recent years, and the city is wise to move forward to solve the problem.
The expansion of the State Street Garage — a mainstay for downtown nightlife, downtown employment and University of Tennessee football games — will provide 1,060 spaces when completed, an increase of about 240.
The interruptions, fortunately, are temporary and should be readily accepted for the larger goal of a more vibrant downtown that, thanks to the walkway, will be more accessible.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
Saving Afghanistan's archaeological sites
07 May 2013 01:28 GMT | Human Rights, US & Canada, Latin America, Cuba, United States
A set of 2,000 recently digitised records delivered to the United States will give scholars and the public a fuller view of the Nobel Prize-winning novelist Ernest Hemingway's life.
A private US foundation is working with Cuba to preserve more of Hemingway's papers, books and belongings that have been kept at his home near Havana since he died in 1961.
On Monday in the US Capitol, Representative James McGovern and the Boston-based Finca Vigia Foundation announced that 2,000 digital copies of Hemingway papers and materials will be transferred to Boston's John F. Kennedy Library.
This is the first time anyone in the US has been able to examine these items from the writer's Cuban estate, Finca Vigia.
The records include passports showing Hemingway's travels and letters commenting on such works as his 1954 Nobel Prize-winning The Old Man and the Sea.
An earlier digitisation effort that opened 3,000 Hemingway files in 2008 uncovered fragments of manuscripts, including an alternate ending to For Whom the Bell Tolls and corrected proofs of The Old Man and the Sea.
Personal correspondence
The newest trove includes some of Hemingway's personal correspondence, including a letter that literary critic Malcolm Cowley wrote to Hemingway about the award-winning book.
"The Old Man and the Sea is pretty marvelous," Cowley wrote. "The old man is marvelous, the sea is, too, and so is the fish."
Jenny Phillips, the granddaughter of Hemingway's editor, Maxwell Perkins, founded the Finca Vigia Foundation in 2004 after a visit to Havana. She saw Hemingway's home falling into disrepair and became aware of the many records kept in a damp basement at the estate.
Phillips worked to get permission from the US Treasury and State departments to send conservators and archivists to Cuba to help save the literary records and to help train Cuban archivists.
The newly digitised files include handwritten letters to his wife, Mary, bar bills, grocery lists, notations of hurricane sightings and handwritten notebooks full of weather observations. It does not include any manuscripts.
"This is the flotsam and jetsam of a writer's life - it's his life and his work," Phillips said. "All these bits and pieces get assembled in a big puzzle."
Restoration work continues at Hemingway's Finca Vigia estate in Cuba. A new building is being constructed with library-quality atmospheric controls to house the writer's books and original records.

Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit cheaper than another broken ankle Boots are comfortable in riding position, and I can stand to walk around in them for a bit. My feet/ankles definitely feel protected, but I hope not to test that any time soon. I haven't done any very hot weather riding, but the boots seem to still get some airflow and keep my feet comfortable. Walking the bike around is a bit trickier, and it's slightly harder to tip-toe the bike because of the extra ankle support Nate - May 07, 2015 (Novi, MI) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great Boots Sidi makes the best boots around. Quality Quality Quality. Trent - July 24, 2012 (West Hollywood, CA, CA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit good fit, feel, look and price First pair of Sidi after many others. The fit is accurate to my standard shoe size; zippers work well and velcro top makes them quick to put on and off. Slight pressure point on shin at the top edge. stitching and construction quality seem good. Worn them several times during past month and almost broken in. Light weight yet sturdy enough. Very happy with boots so far. Hits the features/price/value point perfectly. stomp944 - July 20, 2012 (san diego, CA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit its an OK boot... Have had the boots for 1 month; can't really rate it very good, just haven't worn them that much... fit is ok (they don't make 1/2 sizes). dude - May 30, 2012 (telluride, CO) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Nice Boot But Very Stiff. Go with the SPIDI if you want comfort. Kurt - May 30, 2012 (Hurricane, WV) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Cobra Boots: great boots for the price I was looking at boots for street riding and these seemed to offer good features and protection for the price. The fit was good out of the box, got better after wearing them for a couple of days. Good looking boots, I like that the sliders bolt on and are easily replaceable. I wear them under jeans. They seem like they are pretty durable, no issues yet. Good boot for the money. Bill K - May 17, 2012 (Haverhill, MA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Arguable if worth the $50 compared to Fusion I like them and they look great, but I think next time I'll stick with the Fusion. $50 for a few extra bits of plastic doesn't make sense to me. Doug - January 16, 2012 (Waipahu, HI) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Love these boots they feel great!!! will take some time to get used to. love how it was put together for protection around the ankle area and shin. Great for wearing with a track suit or jeans Darrell - November 28, 2011 (Gaithersburg, MD) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Nice, but not as stiff as they appear True 10 length. Narrower than expected toe box (I also own Sidi bicycling shoes 7 a low cut Sidi cycle boot which are perfect). Amazingly lightweight! Easily fit inside the legs of pants. Quick to get on and off feet. Loose fitting heel -insole may help. I like them, but will probably also purchase something that will provide more protection and stiffness as these do not feel like they would protect my ankles much better than the low-cut Sidis. feffer - September 30, 2011 (Haleiwa, HI) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Sidi Cobra Air Boots Boots fit very well, it takes 1-3 times of wearing them before they really break in. Features are good, only issue so far is that on the left boot there is a thread that has come loose already by the zipper area(I have only wore them for about 5 street rides so far), so as long as this does not become a larger issue I am happy with them so far. I do get positive comments on them wherever I have worn them so far. Dickson - September 30, 2011 (Shawnee,(Kansas City Metro), KS) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Sidi Cobra: very pleased with these boots I actually got these boots as a result of out-of-stock status on two other, cheaper pairs in the $150 price range. After using the Sidi's on the track, I am glad I bumped up to them (a bit more pricy). The looks are great, for starters. I am normally a 10.5 size with street shoes, so I got the equiv 10, which fit perfectly. They were not too tight or too short, which was a concern of mine. After adjusting to shifting with new footware, they became very comfortable. I am also pleased with the ample protection these boots provide. I rated the durability at a 4 only b/c I have not used them long enough to prove a 5, but I anticipate Sidi to live up to their standards. Overall, given the level of use I have with these boots, I am very satisfied. Mark - April 21, 2011 (Columbia, MO) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great boot. Overall, I love these boots, the comfort and protection it offers is flawless. I checked out a lot of reviews before I made my purchase, so price was never an obstacle for me when I decided to buy. I gave the fit a 4 because it fits a size smaller, I usually wear a 45, and after a return and days of waiting, I had to get a size 44, but it fits great. I also gave it a 4 for durability because I just got them, hopefully, it'll stand up to its name. The blue pair blends nicely with my bike and I get props everywhere I go. Great boots, I love them! Beydoun - April 15, 2011 (Covington, GA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Wow pricey Can't forget this look though its very unique in design would like to try one. kiddy - April 01, 2011 (paoli, PA) Related Items and Accessories Sidi Shin Deflector Plate $25.00 Quick View Sidi Toe Cap $11.00 Quick View Sidi Nylon Toe Sliders for Sidi Boots $12.00 Quick View Sidi Doha Boots $129.99 Quick View Sidi Traffic Rain Boots $215.00 Quick View Sidi Mugello Socks $25.00 Quick View Sidi Astro Boots $179.99 Quick View Related Links View Sidi All Sidi Boots View All Motorcycle Boots
