Abstract: An optical filter system is described wherein a fluid, such as gaseous phases of water or carbon dioxide, is frozen onto a transmissive substrate positioned in the optical path of an infrared sensor system. The frozen material, which is preferably maintained at cryogenic temperatures, acts as a natural optical filter, absorbing certain undesirable wavelength bands of atmospheric infrared radiation, thus preventing them from reaching the detector of the sensor system. Simultaneously, the optical filter system allows certain desirable wavelength bands of infrared radiation to be transmitted, thus permitting them to reach the detector of the sensor system. The overall effect is to reduce the amount of noise and clutter generated by the undesirable atmospheric infrared radiation from reaching the detector of the sensor system, thus increasing the resolution and effectiveness of the sensor system.

Abstract: An infrared ear thermometer includes a detector head housing, a heat sink, a recess formed in the heat sink, a thermopile sensor mounted within the recess, a thermistor, and temperature determination circuitry. The recess defines an aperture that limits the field of view of the thermopile sensor. The thermal capacities and conductivities of the heat sink and the thermopile sensor are selected so that the output signal of the thermopile sensor stabilizes during a temperature measurement. A method of determining temperature using the ear thermometer takes successive measurements, stores the measurements in a moving time window, averages the measurements in the moving window, determines whether the average has stabilized, and outputs an average temperature. A method of calculating a subject's temperature determines the temperature of a cold junction of the thermopile, looks up a bias and slope of the thermopile based upon the temperature of the cold junction, measures the output of the thermopile, and calculates the subject's temperature based upon a linear relationship between the output and the subject's temperature. The linear relationship is defined by the bias and the slope.

Abstract: A passive-type infrared detector 1 includes an infrared sensor 3, a pair of lens elements (optical elements) 4R and 4L, a pair of mirrors 5R and 5L and a casing 2. The lens elements 4R and 4L are used to define detection areas a+ and a− opposed substantially 180° to each other for the infrared sensor 3. The mirrors 5R and 5L are used to direct infrared rays of light from the detection areas towards the infrared sensor 3. When this passive-type infrared detector 1 is installed at a position intermediate of an alert region, a combination of the infrared sensor 3, one of the lens elements 4R and one of the mirrors 5R is effective to monitor a range from one end of the alert region to the intermediate position whereas a combination of the infrared sensor 3, the other of the lens elements 4L and the other of the mirrors 5L is effective to monitor a range from the opposite end of the alert region to the intermediate position. Therefore, one half of the alert region may be a detection distance. Consequently, the lens elements 4R and 4L can have a reduced focal length, allowing the passive-type infrared detector 1 of a reduced outer size to monitor the long alert region.

Abstract: A portable, infrared, multiple gas analyzer for measuring the concentration of a plurality of infrared absorbent gases with a simple optical arrangement for transmitting an infrared beam along an optical path along with gas mixtures to be analyzed. Light transmitting tubes arranged in a U-like configuration transmit infrared energy and the gases applied thereto over a small path to an infrared detector from an infrared source and provide electrical analog output signals representative of the detected gases. The detector output signals are processed by D.C. processing circuits including an analog to digital converter and microprocessing circuits for providing digital, binary coded, output signals representative of the detected gas concentration of the infrared absorbent gases. The analyzer can be readily calibrated by applying a non-infrared absorbent gas to the gas analyzer to provide a maximum output signal level with the infrared beam on and the background level or dark level signal with the beam off. The gas mixture having the infrared absorbent gases to be measured are applied to the analyzer for measurement and the resulting analog signals are amplified under control of a microprocessor for determining whether or not a preselected signal level stored in the microprocessor memory is exceeded or not. If not, the gain of the amplifier is increased to compensate for the aging of the analyzer. An offset voltage is applied to the analog to digital converter under control of the microprocessor to the amplified gas signals for increasing the resolution of the converter output signals only during the time intervals the absorbent gases are being measured. The microprocessor is programmed to execute a program for calculating the detected concentration of the gases undergoing analysis based on the previously acquired and stored “zero” gas level, dark level and known gas factors to provide the desired digital, binary coded, gas concentration signal from the analyzer.

Abstract: A passive infrared detection system which has a wide angular field of view and a flat or nearly flat front surface. Input optical elements direct and/or focus incident peripheral infrared radiation onto one or more internal Fresnel lens arrays and/or a sensitive area of a detector, including radiation having incident angles of less than about 30°. Because of the absence of protruding elements improved performance and greater functionality can be obtained by employing larger or multiple infrared input windows and/or opto-electronic sections without degrading the aesthetic appearance of the unit.

Abstract: An improved infra-red lens array for use in a passive infra-red intrusion sensor, which maintains high detection capability for intruders moving in the middle and near field, and yet discriminates well between the movement of intruders and of pets in the near field. The upper part of the lens array is composed of at least one row containing convex lenses, operative to focus the far and middle field radiation of the area to be protected onto the detector of the sensor. The lower part of the array has at least one row containing cylindrical lenses, with their axes of symmetry aligned vertically, operative to focus infra-red radiation from the middle and near fields onto the detector. Each cylindrical lens focuses a vertical curtain of the protected area onto the infra-red detector. In order to ensure reduced sensor sensitivity close to the floor of the protected area, so as to provide pet movement discrimination, the cylindrical lenses are provided with spatially selective attenuation, so as to reduce their transmission factor as a function of the angle between the sensor and points on the floor.
