BACKGROUND
• Filed: June 29, 2007• Issued: June 30, 2009• Inventors: Jeffrey Dale Wilson, Daniel Steven
Sanchez
• Purpose: Stabilized laser beam to counteract hand tremors• Three mirrors with a spring and a magnetic counter-weight• Counteract hand tremors associated with “physical
weakness, emotional stress, excitement”• Expose nervousness -> discredited user
EXAMPLES OF PRIOR ART
• Laser pointers… • No stabilizing system
• No system patented that is compact, hand-held, wherein the stability of the laser dot position is unaffected by hand tremors

damping disks
NOVEL AND INVENTIVE ELEMENTS
• 2 Claims:• 3 mirrors, 2nd and 3rd mirrors with pivots,
resulting beam is perpendicular to housing axis
• Magnetic damping system is used to stabilized orientation from hand tremors
