ACTUATOR FOR MULTIPLE PAYLOADS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240302668 titled 'ACTUATOR FOR MULTIPLE PAYLOADS

Simplified Explanation:

The patent application describes a device with multiple payloads that can be adjusted by actuators, which are placed within edge gaps of the payloads to minimize the structure's footprint.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Device includes multiple payloads adjusted by actuators
  • Payloads may be optical elements like lens assemblies
  • Actuators are placed within edge gaps of payloads to reduce footprint
  • One actuator can adjust more than one payload, reducing the number of actuators

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in:

  • Camera systems
  • Microscopes
  • Telescopes
  • Laser systems

Problems Solved:

  • Reducing the footprint of devices with multiple payloads
  • Minimizing the number of actuators needed for adjustments

Benefits:

  • Compact design
  • Efficient use of actuators
  • Improved performance of optical systems

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial uses include:

  • Consumer electronics
  • Medical devices
  • Scientific instruments
  • Defense systems

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the performance of optical systems? 2. What are the advantages of using actuators within edge gaps of payloads?

Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research in the field of optical systems and actuator technology that could impact the development of this device.


Original Abstract Submitted

a device includes multiple payloads that are adjusted by actuators. the payloads may be optical elements such as lens assemblies. the actuators may be disposed within edge gaps of the payloads in order to reduce the footprint of the structure. one actuator may be configured to adjust more than one payload to reduce the number of actuators.
