Abstract: A method of detecting an optical change in a series of test assays producing detectable results at varying efficiencies, the method comprising the steps of: a) selecting a test assay from the series, the selected assay having a known end-point photoresponse efficiency and a known filter center wavelength; b) providing a variable-intensity flash lamp illuminator comprising a lamp, a set of multiple filters with pre-selected center wavelengths assigned to particular assays, and a circuit for activating the lamp and comprising a capacitor, a power source, and a variable output voltage converter connected to the source and having its variable voltage output connected across the capacitor, the lamp and the filters providing a known level of system efficiency as a function of the center wavelength of the filter; c) providing a predetermined relationship of levels of illuminating intensities from the lamp as a function of photoresponse efficiencies of the assays and the system efficiencies, in which the photoresponse efficiencies of the assays are inversely proportional to the lamp intensities and the intensities are proportional to the square of the voltages applied to the lamp; d) selecting from the relationship a voltage applied to the lamp, and hence an intensity of the lamp, that corresponds to the known photoresponse efficiency of the assay selected in step (a) and its system efficiency based upon the filter center wavelength for the assay; and e) thereafter exposing the assay to the selected illuminating intensity, so that less intensity is used for assays having either higher photoresponse efficiencies or center wavelengths with a higher system efficiency, or both, than is used for worst-case efficiency assays.

Abstract: A densitometer apparatus (410) is disclosed and is adapted to provide color density measurements of object samples. The densitometer apparatus (410) comprises a source light (580) for projecting light toward an object sample comprising a control strip (588, 620). A reflection optics assembly (576) is adapted to measure light density reflected from the object sample when the object sample is in the form of a paper control strip. A transmission optics assembly (618) is adapted to measure transmission density of light rays projected through the object sample when the object sample is in the form of a film control strip. A motor assembly (426) operating with a drive wheel assembly (434) and idler wheel assembly (440) automatically moves the object sample (588, 620) through the apparatus (410) adjacent the source light (580). A pair of guides (468, 470) are selectively adjustable by the operator to control movement of the object sample (588, 620) through the apparatus (410). In response to input from a key switch assembly (492) activatable by the operator, the apparatus (410) is adapted to perform various color density measurement and calibration functions, and display appropriate information to the operator through the use of a visual display (490).

Abstract: A gas detector (10) that is arranged to sense the concentration levels of target gases oxygen, methane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulphide, within a gas sample from an environment surrounding the detector. The gas detector (10) comprises laser sources (12a-12d) that are arranged to transmit radiation through the gas sample at four target wavelengths that correspond approximately to the optimum absorption wavelengths of each of the target gases and an optical detector (16) that is arranged to sense the intensity of the radiation transmitted through the gas sample at each of the target wavelengths. A control system (22) generates representative concentration level information for the target gases based on the level of absorption of the radiation transmitted.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for monitoring the filling of a capsule with a medicament, to a corresponding filling method, to the associated apparatuses, and to a computer program for controlling the method and the apparatus. In the monitoring method, after at least part of the capsule has been filled with a predefined filling mass of a predefined closed contour of the medicament, at least the filling mass in the part of the capsule after the filling operation is recorded using digital imaging in a first step, the contour of the filling mass in the part of the capsule is determined from the digital imaging recording in a second step, and the contour is analysed in a third step in order to assess the filling operation in comparison with the predefined contour. The invention provides for external influences on the image properties to be compensated for by controlling the optical system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for optically inspecting an at least partially reflecting surface of an item, having a first and at least one second crossbeam (12, 14) each forming a section (32) largely in the shape of a circular segment. The crossbeams (12, 14) are disposed at a longitudinal distance (D) from one another, defining a longitudinal axis (17). The two crossbeams (12, 14) are held at the longitudinal distance (D) by means of a plurality of longitudinal beams (16). The longitudinal beams (16) are disposed at a defined radial distance (38) from the sections (32) in the shape of circular segments. The crossbeams (12, 14) support a light-transparent diffusing screen (34) forming a tunnel-shaped inspection space (36). A plurality of light sources (48) are disposed outside of the tunnel-shaped inspection space (36) behind the diffusing screen, said sources being controllable individually or in small groups in order to generate variable light-dark patterns (90) on the diffusing screen. At least one camera (74, 78) is set up in the tunnel-shaped inspection space (36).
