APERTURE STOP APPARATUS AND OPTICAL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240345454 titled 'APERTURE STOP APPARATUS AND OPTICAL APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an apparatus with aperture stops that control the amount of light in two optical systems arranged in parallel. The apparatus includes drive gears, a driving source, base member, aperture stops with blade members, and rotating members engaged with the drive gear.
- The apparatus has a drive gear and a single driving source to control the aperture stops.
- Two aperture stops, each with three or more blade members, regulate the light in the optical systems.
- Rotating members with gear portions are driven by the drive gear to adjust the aperture stops.
- The rotation of the drive gear is transmitted to the rotating members through the gear portions.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Apparatus with aperture stops to control light in parallel optical systems.
- Drive gear and rotating members for adjusting the aperture stops.
- Blade members in the aperture stops for precise control of light amount.
- Single driving source for driving the apparatus efficiently.
Potential Applications: The technology can be used in:
- Photography equipment
- Microscopes
- Telescopes
- Surveillance systems
Problems Solved:
- Precise control of light in optical systems
- Efficient adjustment of aperture stops
- Consistent light amount in parallel optical systems
Benefits:
- Improved image quality
- Enhanced performance of optical systems
- Simplified light control mechanism
Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in various commercial sectors such as:
- Camera manufacturing
- Medical imaging
- Security and surveillance industry
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on aperture control mechanisms in optical systems.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be studying advancements in aperture stop technology for improved light control in optical systems.
Questions about Aperture Stop Apparatus: 1. What are the key components of the aperture stop apparatus? 2. How does the rotating member interact with the drive gear to adjust the aperture stops?
Original Abstract Submitted
an aperture stop apparatus configured to control a light amount in each of two optical systems arranged in parallel includes a drive gear, a single driving source configured to drive the drive gear, a base member, two aperture stops as iris stops each having three or more blade members, and two rotating members each including a gear portion engaged with the drive gear. each aperture stop is operated as a corresponding one of the rotating members rotates. a rotation of a drive gear driven by the driving source is transmitted to the two rotating members through the gear portions provided to the rotating members and engaged with the drive gear.
