Abstract: A system provides light of selectable spectral characteristic (e.g. a selectable color combination of light), for luminous applications such a signage and indicator lights (10). An optical integrating cavity (11) combines energy of different wavelengths from different sources, typically different colored LEDs. The cavity has a diffusively reflective interior surface (29) and an aperture (17) for allowing emission of combined light. Control of the intensity of emission of the sources sets the amount of each wavelength of light in the combined output and thus determines a spectral characteristic of the light output through the aperture. A deflector (25) shaped like a number, character, letter, or other symbol, may be coupled to a similarly shaped aperture. By combining several such fixtures, it is possible to spell out words and phrases, with selectable color lighting. Disclosed fixture examples use an extruded body member with appropriately located reflective surfaces to form both the cavity and deflector.

Abstract: An LED-based spectrophotometer uses a reconstruction algorithm, based on the spectral characteristics of the illumination source and the color sensing system, to convert integrated multiple illuminant measurements from a non-fully illuminant populated color sensor into a fully populated spectral curve using a reference database. The reference database contains training samples that indicate reflectance spectra and their corresponding LED sensor output. A dynamic, Karhunen-Loeve-based (DKL) spectral reconstruction algorithm, used to reconstruct spectra, gives greater importance to the data from the training samples in the neighborhood of the color sample under measurement. This is done using linear operators and basis vectors.

Abstract: Color measurement instrument (10) including an integrating sphere (12), a beam splitter (16), a video camera (18), and a spectrograph (20). The beam splitter (16) is aligned with the viewing port (32) of the spectrophotometer to deliver the light reflected from the sample (S) to both the video camera (18) and the spectrograph (20). The video camera (18) provides an image of the position of the sample (S) with respect to the viewing port (32) of the sphere (12), enabling the visual observation and evaluation of the sample position prior to use of the spectrophotometer.

Abstract: An improved spectrophotometer for non-contact measuring of the colors of colored target areas, especially, test patches on moving printed test sheets in an unrestrained normal output path of a color printer, which test patches may be sequentially angularly illuminated with multiple different colors, with a photosensor providing electrical signals in response, the spectrophotometer having a lens system for transmitting that reflected illumination from the test patch to the photosensor with a lens magnification ratio of approximately one to one. The exemplary spectrophotometer provides non-contact color measurements of moving color target areas variably displaced therefrom within normal paper path baffle spacings, with a displacement insensitivity of at least 6 millimeters about a nominal target to spectrophotometer separation.
