TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus for use on a telescope in combination with a rifle is described, which includes a camera attached to the top of the telescope and a cable mechanism attached at one end to the shutter release of the camera and at the other end to trigger of the rifle.
Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed which includes a mount for use on a telescope in combination with a rifle The mount is clamped onto the telescope, and has a camera attached to the top of the mount A cable mechanism is attached at one end to the shutter release of the camera and at the other end to the trigger of the rifle The camera is arranged to photograph the image received through the telescope and reflected through the mount The cable mechanism provides means for controlling the operation of the camera A housing is clamped onto the telescope and has an eyepiece which fits onto the eyepiece of the telescope and contains a split prism which is positioned in the eyepiece at an angle such that it can be seen through for viewing the image of the target received through the telescope The split prism has a reflective surface on one side which reflects the image of the target upwardly to a first surface mirror positioned in the housing above the split prism at an angle such that it receives the image reflected from the split prism, and then reflects the image forwardly to a second surface mirror A second surface mirror is positioned at the forward end of the housing and at an angle that it receives the image reflected from the first surface mirror, and then reflects the image upwardly to the camera lens The image of the target is photographed when the trigger of the rifle is pulled

TL;DR: In this article, a first surface mirror includes a reflective layer (e.g., Al or Ag), at least one dielectric layer and at least a protective layer of or including high density diamond-like carbon (DLC).
Abstract: A first surface mirror includes a reflective layer (e.g., Al or Ag), at least one dielectric layer and at least one protective layer of or including high density diamond-like carbon (DLC). The high density DLC enables the protective layer to be applied at a relatively small thickness which enables undesirable color often associated with DLC to be prevented or minimized, while at the same time good protective characteristics (e.g., scratch resistance) can be realized.

TL;DR: In this article, a sol-gel coating is applied, in a wet form, over a reflective coating of a first surface mirror, and then heated following its application, to drive off liquid(s) of the solgel so that the coating densities and forms a solid protective coating over the reflective coating.
Abstract: A first-surface mirror includes protective coating and is for use in a solar collector or the like. In certain example embodiments, a sol-gel coating is applied, in a wet form, over a reflective coating of a first surface mirror. The sol-gel coating is then heated following its application, to drive off liquid(s) of the sol-gel so that the coating densities and forms a solid protective coating over the reflective coating. In certain example embodiments, the protective coating may be of or include silica or the like so as to protect the reflective coating and improve durability.
