ALL SEEING EYES HOUSING SYSTEM Models: Mono-ocular, Di-ocular, Tri-ocular, Quad-ocular, Pent-ocular, Hex-ocular, Hept-ocular, Octa-ocular (MILITARY AND CIVILIAN) (2 pages total) The All Seeing Eyes Housing System is a simultaneous multiple vision direction unit that provides simultaneous digitised vision data from all of its eyes (1) or eye tube directions (9), where the number of eyes depends on the models and matches the model's name: Mono ocular (1 eye), Di-ocular, Tri-ocular, Quad-ocular, Pent-ocular, Hex-ocular, Hept-ocular and Octa-ocular (8 eyes), that is 1 eye to 8 eyes, respectively. The eyes of a single All Seeing Eyes unit are displaced from each other by a set angle (10) determined by the specification to the manufacturer and mounted onto a solid base circular type platform; the set angle will cause the eye tubes (1) mounted onto the base platform which if the circular platform were to look like a circular compass plane, the eye tubes would point to various angles of the compass points eg. Model Quad-ocular has 4 eyes pointing to 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees (or North, South, East and West ie. N, S, E, W) so that the set angle for the eye tubes would have been 90 degrees in between eye tubes (1). An angular surface that slopes upwards towards the centre of the platform in between the eye tubes is like a roof thus creating a chamber to house the necessary components, to provide a stealth surface and to provide rigidity in conjunction with the base platform, this forms a basic compact All Seeing Eyes unit that is disc-like. The mounting of a single eye tube is accomplished by 2 lugs (2) supporting the side shafts on either side of each eye tube and near the centre sides of the eye tube, thus creating a pivot of lug and shaft on both sides of the eye tube near the centre side of the eye tube, and the lug is mounted onto the base platform that supports all the eye tube structures and their lugs and supports the rear tilt motor and drive gear (optional) (3) for each eye tube that has a rear tilt gear to be driven or tilt set by a manual adjusting screw (un-motorised). Each eye tube can contain multiple optical systems and other systems such as thermal optical system and laser, so the space in the eye tube is divided to suit the space required by each of these systems (the space does not have to be equal as shown in the diagram of 4 equally spaced sections or quadrants, Figure 11). A supporting shaft (7) supports the base circular platform and beneath it is the panning motor housing (4) containing the panning motor (6) driving the panning drive gear (5) wrapped around this support shaft to rotate the entire base circular platform; bearings allow the base platform to rotate over the fixed panning motor housing (4) which is then mounted onto a fixed mounting surface of eg. a building, pole or land, sea, air or space vehicle. However a manufacturer might choose to place the panning drive gear onto the bottom of the base platform adjacent the bearings, whether the support shaft is driven or the base platform depends on the gear manufacturers who should be skilled at military gears meshing under impact and fatigue which is an unavoidable service wear if in rugged off terrain conditions, hence the gears need to be accessible for replacement and consider the survival rating and toughness required of the manufacturer - this is the basic design aim not the detailed engineering design with bearing types and material thicknesses. The data, control and power cable (8) is passed through this support shaft into the All Seeing Eyes unit housing (from the computer), a minimum amount of cables is desired, optical cable might be used so that there will have to be a separate cable for power instead of a single loom/cable. If a gyro stabilising unit is attached beneath the panning motor housing (4) to provide vision stabilisation, the cable location (8) may also have to be adjusted, but the aim is to secure this cable internally.
