Abstract: The invention relates to optical devices permitting day and night vision of the scenery with, in both cases, superimposed introduction of an image, which is supplied by an image generator (1), into the field of view of the observer. 
<??>The image supplied by the light intensifier (6) of a night observation system (4-6) is processed in the same way as the image supplied by the image generator (1) by virtue of an auxiliary combining optical component (7-7') which mixes these two images before they arrive at the main combining optical component (3) of the device, through which main combining optical component, in day vision, the observer sees the exterior scenery directly. The auxiliary combining optical component is designed so that, in day vision, at least the greater portion of the light coming from the image generator reaches the main combining optical component. According to the embodiments, this is obtained either by a retractable semi-reflecting mirror or by a frequency-selective semi-reflecting surface (70). 
<??>Application, in particular, to helmet display devices.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting data between nodes (10) connected to a communications bus (14), preferably a computer backbone, divides a full bus width into a plurality of sub-buses (26a, 26b, 26c). Each sub-bus can be independently operated, and each node on the network can connect to one or more of the sub-buses. The apparatus provides, at a transmitting node, a determination of which sub-buses are available (24) to transmit a data packet to one or more receiving nodes. The data words are divided into sub-words, thereby reducing the memory access time requirements and saving memory costs. In accordance with a particular embodiment, the header, at the beginning of the data packet, and the error check control, provided at the end of the data packet, are sent at a slower speed than the data information portion of the packet. The data information portion of the packet is sent at the highest speed compatible with the receiving node or nodes. In case one sub-bus fails, a node can transmit data over the other sub-buses available to it.
