Optically integrating oculometer
First Claim

1. An improved oculometer which comprises:
- radiation source means;
directing means for focusing and directing the emissions from said radiation source onto an observers eye;
optical integration means which processes the reflections from the observers eye by compressing the optical field in at least one dimension so that the optical field of the reflections is converted into a linear form with varying light information along its length; and
linear sensing array means comprising a series of individual sensing elements upon which the linear form of the reflections are focused which yield electrical information varying with the intensity of radiation falling on the individual elements of the array.

Abstract
An improved oculometer yielding simplified data accumulation and reduction techniques because of the use of a cylindrical lens system which optically integrates the light reflected from the eye being studied. The use of the cylindrical lens system and a linear sensing element reduces the location data required by a factor of a square root and makes digital processing of the information practical.
