US Patent:

6598333, Jul 29, 2003

Filed:

Jun 11, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/167670

Inventors:

Robert S. Randazzo - Hayesville NC
David R. Brewer - Rosemary Beach FL

Assignee:

Zeroed Systems, Inc. - Hayesville NC

International Classification:

F41G 138

US Classification:

42127, 42124, 42125

Abstract:

A scope mounting system includes a one or two-piece base and a plurality of scope support assemblies. Mating portions of the base and scope support assemblies have parallel v-notches engaged with parallel flat lands to set the position of each support assembly relative to the sighting direction of a weapon to which the base is attached. The âflat land to v-notchâ interengagement guarantees that the flat portions of all v-notches will engage one another to prevent movement along the weapons sighting direction. Each scope support assembly clamps to the base in a way that prevents movement thereof in a two-dimensional plan perpendicular to the weapons sighting direction.

Appl. No.:

10/011515

Inventors:

Thomas Baer - Mountain View CA, US
Norbert Hagen - Livermore CA, US
Bruce Richardson - Los Gatos CA, US

Lisa Reese - Felton CA, US

International Classification:

G02B021/36

US Classification:

382/128000, 396/432000

Abstract:

Systems and methods for capturing and using a road map image for guiding microscopy and microdissection are disclosed. Systems for using a static reference road map image for navigation and analysis of a live image of a sample are provided. A road map camera for capturing a low resolution reference image of the sample is disclosed. Novel methods for computer-controlled navigation of the road map image are provided.

Appl. No.:

10/989206

Inventors:

Thomas Baer - Mountain View CA, US
Norbert Hagen - Livermore CA, US
Bruce Richardson - Los Gatos CA, US
David Brewer - Aptos CA, US
Lisa Reese - Felton CA, US

International Classification:

G06F019/00
G01N033/48
G01N033/50
G01N001/30

US Classification:

435040500, 702019000, 083072000

Abstract:

Systems and methods for automated laser capture microdissection are disclosed. High throughput microdissection is provided by using cell procurement and multi-imaging tools for pre-selecting cells of interest. Novel methods of computer-controlled cap transfer along with automated multi-slide and multi-cap placements, and automated slide and cap detection are provided. The systems and methods provide the advantages of increased speed and much lower rates of contamination.
