The optical window of the optical system is configured such that it defines a shape having at least one focal curve, i.e., an ellipsoid shaped dome. The illumination element and the receiving means are geometrically positioned on the focal curve plane or in proximity of the focal curve plane, such that, when illuminating, rays from the illumination elements, that are internally reflected from the optical window, will not be incident on the receiving means.
The submarine 30 comprises a propulsion unit 31 and a viewing cell 33, encased by window 34, in which an operator or a monitoring device 38 are positioned on the axis of symmetry of the shape of submarine 30. A target of interest 39, in the deep waters, is being viewed. The target of interest 39 is illuminated by illumination elements 35 and 37 that are positioned on a focal plane of the shape defined by the body of the submarine 30, such that light rays internally reflected from window 34 do not blind the operator and/or are not received by monitoring device 38 Patent CitationsCited PatentFiling datePublication dateApplicantTitleUS3289779Feb 1, 1965Dec 6, 1966Westinghouse Air Brake CoMobile rock drill carrier suspension systemUS3683389Jan 20, 1971Aug 8, 1972Corning Glass WorksOmnidirectional loop antenna arrayUS3745325Aug 17, 1971Jul 10, 1973Eastman Kodak CoPhotographic lightUS3971362Oct 27, 1972Jul 27, 1976The United States Of America As Represented By The Administrator Of The National Aeronautics And Space AdministrationMiniature ingestible telemeter devices to measure deep-body temperatureUS4005287Jul 28, 1975Jan 25, 1977Recognition Equipment IncorporatedNose attachment for OCR wandUS4017163Apr 16, 1976Apr 12, 1977The United States Of America As Represented By The United States Energy Research And Development AdministrationAngle amplifying optics using plane and ellipsoidal reflectorsUS4027510May 15, 1974Jun 7, 1977Siegfried HiltebrandtForcepsUS4177800Apr 10, 1978Dec 11, 1979Enger Carl CImplantable biotelemetry transmitter and method of using sameUS4198960Jan 31, 1978Apr 22, 1980Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Apparatus for removing a foreign matter having individually operable trapping and flexing wires, a central channel for illumination, suction and injection and a laterally disposed bore for feeding fluidsUS4217045Dec 29, 1978Aug 12, 1980Ziskind Stanley HCapsule for photographic use in a walled organ of the living bodyUS4234912Jun 28, 1978Nov 18, 1980International Telephone And Telegraph CorporationLuminaire for residential roadway lightingUS4239040Oct 13, 1977Dec 16, 1980Kabushiki Kaisha Daini SeikoshaCapsule for medical useUS4278077Jul 24, 1979Jul 14, 1981Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Medical camera systemUS4439197Mar 15, 1982Mar 27, 1984Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Medical capsule deviceUS4491865Sep 29, 1982Jan 1, 1985Welch Allyn, Inc.For use in the viewing head of an endoscopeUS4596050Apr 26, 1984Jun 17, 1986Rogers Gordon WInformation processing system using optically encoded signalsUS4646724Jan 9, 1986Mar 3, 1987Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Endoscopic photographing apparatusUS4689621Mar 31, 1986Aug 25, 1987The United States Of America As Represented By The Administrator Of The National Aeronautics And Space AdministrationTemperature responsive transmitterUS4735214Sep 5, 1986Apr 5, 1988Berman Irwin RGastrointestinal diagnostic capsule and method of useUS4741327Apr 14, 1987May 3, 1988Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Endoscope having bent circuit boardUS4819620Aug 13, 1987Apr 11, 1989Ichiro OkutsuEndoscope guide pipeUS4844076Aug 26, 1988Jul 4, 1989The Johns Hopkins UniversityIngestible size continuously transmitting temperature monitoring pillUS4917097Oct 27, 1987Apr 17, 1990Endosonics CorporationApparatus and method for imaging small cavitiesUS4936823May 4, 1988Jun 26, 1990Triangle Research And Development Corp.Transendoscopic implant capsuleUS4951135Dec 28, 1988Aug 21, 1990Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Electronic-type endoscope system having capability of setting AGC variation regionUS5010412Dec 27, 1988Apr 23, 1991The Boeing CompanyHigh frequency, low power light source for video cameraUS5042486Sep 12, 1990Aug 27, 1991Siemens AktiengesellschaftCatheter locatable with non-ionizing field and method for locating sameUS5166787Jun 28, 1990Nov 24, 1992Karl Storz Gmbh & Co.Endoscope having provision for repositioning a video sensor to a location which does not provide the same cross-sectionally viewed relationship with the distal endUS5187572Oct 30, 1991Feb 16, 1993Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Endoscope system with a plurality of synchronized light source apparatusesUS5217449Dec 11, 1990Jun 8, 1993Miyarisan Kabushiki KaishaMedical capsule and apparatus for activating the sameUS5222477Sep 30, 1991Jun 29, 1993Welch Allyn, Inc.Endoscope or borescope stereo viewing systemUS5267033Nov 27, 1991Nov 30, 1993Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd.Hollow body inspection system, hollow body inspection apparatus and signal transmission apparatusUS5279607May 30, 1991Jan 18, 1994The State University Of New YorkTelemetry capsule and processUS5335662Jun 25, 1993Aug 9, 1994Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Image pickup system comprising signal processing device which uses exclusive adaptor in probes different in image pickup system from each otherUS5368027Apr 7, 1993Nov 29, 1994Avl Medical Instruments AgSensor arrangement for direct or indirect optical determination of physical or chemical propertiesUS5373840Oct 2, 1992Dec 20, 1994Knighton;
