Abstract
An optical device includes a housing containing a plurality of lenses. At least one of those lenses includes a reticle. An optical device and a processor are also located in the housing. A wind speed sensor is mounted to the housing and configured to send a wind speed signal corresponding to a wind speed to the processor. The processor calculates a wind speed based at least in part on the wind speed signal, and wherein the processor sends an output signal corresponding to the calculated wind speed to the output device.
Claims18
An optical device comprising:
- a housing containing a plurality of lenses, wherein at least one of the lenses comprises a reticle;
- an output device;
- a processor located in the housing;
- and
- a wind speed sensor mounted to the housing and configured to send (a) a wind speed signal corresponding to a wind speed to the processor, and (b) an updated wind speed signal corresponding to an updated wind speed to the processor;
- wherein the processor calculates a wind speed based at least in part on the wind speed signal, and wherein the processor sends an output signal corresponding to the calculated wind speed to the output device, and
- wherein the processor calculates an updated wind speed based at least in part on the updated wind speed signal, and wherein the processor sends an updated output signal corresponding to the calculated updated wind speed to the output device.

An optical device comprising:
- a housing containing a plurality of lenses, wherein at least one of the lenses comprises an addressable element;
- a processor located in the housing;
- and
- a wind speed sensor mounted to the housing and configured to send a wind speed signal corresponding to a wind speed to the processor;
- wherein the processor calculates a wind speed based at least in part on the wind speed signal, and wherein the processor averages a plurality of calculated wind speeds over a time to determine an average wind speed, and wherein the processor sends an address signal to the addressable element, and wherein the address signal is based on at least one of the wind speed and the average wind speed.
