Abstract:
1. A method of asynchronous remote steering of reflectors, comprising the steps of: establishing a desired reflecting angle for a plurality of reflectors; calculating an angle of rotation for each said reflector to achieve the desired reflecting angle; selectively driving rotation of each said reflector by the calculated angle of rotation associated therewith, wherein the selective driven rotation is performed through selective driven actuation of a first driven wheel connected to each said reflector, each said reflector being individually adjusted, driven and rotated independent of other ones of said plurality of reflectors; and selectively braking to cease rotation of each said reflector when the desired reflecting angle is achieved, wherein the selective braking is performed through selective driven actuation of a second driven wheel connected to each said reflector, wherein the selective driven rotation and the selective braking of said plurality of reflectors is performed asynchronously and sequentially, one of said reflectors after the other.
