Abstract:
1. An array adapted for directing radiation between a radiation source and a radiation receiver, the array comprising: a plurality of reflectors, each reflector adapted to rotate about a first center of rotation; a positioning plate adapted to simultaneously aim each of the plurality of reflectors in a direction substantially bisecting an interior angle between the source and the receiver; a plurality of reflector positioning arms directly coupling the plurality of reflectors to the positioning plate, wherein each of the positioning arms is adapted to rotate relative to the positioning plate about a second center of rotation; wherein a line segment between the first center of rotation and the second center of rotation for each of the plurality of positioning arms is substantially equal to a base of an isosceles triangle having a first leg aligned with a first ray from the source and a second leg parallel to a second ray to the receiver, wherein the first leg and second leg are equal length; and wherein the plurality of reflector positioning arms comprises a first reflector positioning arm and a second reflector positioning arm, and wherein the line segment associated with the first reflector positioning arm and the line segment associated with the second reflector positioning arm are not parallel.
