In addition to the ZEMAX optical
design program, proprietary to FOCUS SOFTWARE, INC. and the ASAP PLUS
program, proprietary to BREAULT RESEARCH ORGANIZATION, INC., we have
also acquired the optical engineering software FRED from Photon
Engineering, LLC, providing us with an extremely versatile ability to
model and analyze almost any conceivable type of optical system.
We also constantly work on
enhancements and additions to our main design tool, which is our own
proprietary OPCON OPTICAL DESIGN PROGRAM, in continuous development
since 1969. We have written convenient interfaces to and from the ZEMAX
program, allowing us to easily switch from one program to another and to
take advantage of already available code.
As High Definition TV gains wider
market acceptance, our efforts in developing projection optics
manufactured by
3M Precision Optics, Inc. for use in HDTV display applications
continue to expand. In the area of acquisition of HDTV and Digital
Cinema material we continue our projects with
Panavision International, L. P.. These projects include designing a
full line of Primo Digital fixed focal length and zoom lenses for use
with various HDTV cameras, including those developed jointly by SONY
Corporation and
Panavision. According to
press releases, some of the first lenses in this line were used by
Lucasfilm, Ltd. and Industrial Light & Magic, a division of Lucas
Digital, Ltd., to film a sequel to Star Wars.
On a final note, we have moved our
office and modified our corporate name. The new name and the location
are:
