	Sighting device for an archery bow - Patent 5161310
		Cross-hair bow sights generally have a vertical wire and several horizontal cross wires where the vertical wire assists the archer in holding the bow near the vertical and the horizontal cross-hair assists the archer in estimating the distance to the target.
		The sighting and stabilizer device of this invention extends from and is mounted to the front of the bow and permits the arrow, after release to pass through the framing region of the sight while on its flight toward the target.
		The sight device is an aid to the archer when aiming at a target by narrowing the field of vision and allows the archer to pinpoint the target by focusing on the tip of the arrow.

	Device for bore alignment of gun sights - Patent 4825258
		This device utilizes a reverting optical means for use in initial centering of the device on the axis of the gun barrel and, thereafter, the device is tightly secured for subsequent viewing and alignment by means of the rifle sight.
		The present invention relates to an improved type of gun sight alignment device using a compact laser assembly and bore insert mechanism to generate a light spot that is projectable for a considerable distance in true alignment with the gun bore axis.
		A sighting adjustment constructed in accordance with the present invention is relatively economical while providing a quick, accessible sighting-in device that may be readily set up for use in the field with a minimum of time and trouble.

		Explosively pumped EMP devices such as the vircator have another advantage: it is possible to design them to focus their EMP in a particular direction.
		Electrical devices exposed to an EMP burst experience effects ranging from temporary electronic disruption at the outer edge to destructive electrical overvoltages near the center.
		Microyield nuclear weapons or conventional EMP devices could be delivered to the vicinity of the target as a bomb (perhaps by a TAV) or as the warhead of a missile.

		The thermal sight is usually operated by the gunner, but the commander can override the gunner and aim and fire the main or coaxial armament using his duplicate controls and thermal imaging monitor.
		The thermal sight enables the gunner and the commander to detect and engage targets under almost all weather conditions at long range and with high accuracy, which can be used to advantage when visibility is poor and during the hours of darkness.
		The self-entrenching device is mounted under the front of the hull and enables the tank to dig up a tank caponier within 15-40 minutes (this depends on the structure of the soil).

		A sight is a device used to line up the muzzle with the shooter's eye so that he or she can hit the target.
		Sights are more critical on a firearm that fires a single projectile (rifle and handgun) than on a firearm that shoots a pattern of shot (shotgun).
		The aiming device inside the scope is called the "reticle." To aim, you simply look through the scope and line up the crosshairs, post, or dot with your target.

		A similar device, the Dohlman KPro, also is increasingly employed in individuals with poor prognosis for a traditional cornea transplant, he adds.
		In the case of infants, such as Lukas, the conjunctiva can't be used since it is vital that light enter the eye as soon as possible to avoid amblyopia (lazy eye), which is caused by lack of visual stimulus to the brain early in a baby's life.
		Instead, the circle of tissue is removed when the device was implanted, and a transparent sheet made from amniotic membrane was used to protect Lukas' eye and allow light in.
