Abstract:
The invention is a pneumatically actuated energy collection device. The device includes a support which has an energy collector thereon. A shutter is slidably attached to the support and can be moved between a first "closed" position and a second "open" position. In its first position, the shutter covers the collector and in its second position, the shutter uncovers the collector. The shutter is biased into one of the positions. A chamber is disposed adjacent to the shutter so that when the chamber is pressurized, the shutter bias is overcome and the shutter is moved between the first position and the second position.

Einrichtung und Verfahren zur Kalibrierung der Empfindlichkeit eines Fotometers (1) mit einem von einer Strahlungsquelle (2) zur Erzeugung der Messstrahlung durchleuchteten, das Messgas enthaltenden Messraum (3) und einem weiterhin im Strahlengang angeordneten, mindestens eine Fensteröffnung (7, 8) aufweisenden drehbaren Blendenrad (6) zur Modulation der Messstrahlung, dem eine Detektoreinheit (9) mit Auswertung nachgeschaltet ist, wobei dass die Fensteröffnungen (7, 8) des Blendenrades (6) derart gestaltet sind, dass die durchstrahlte Fläche nicht konstant ist, um mindestens ein Referenzsignal (S 1 und S 2 ; S 3 ) mit einer von dessen Modulationsfrequenz f m unterschiedlichen weiteren Modulationsfrequenz f, zu erzeugen, aus dem zu Kalibrierungszwecken durch Vergleich mit einem aus einer früheren Kalibrierungsmessung hinterlegten Referenzsignal (S 1 ' und S 2 '; S 3 ') eine Aussage über die Veränderung der Empfindlichkeit des Fotometers (1) ableitbar ist.
Abstract:
Strahlungsempfänger mit einem Photodetektor und einem Sensor, wobei der Sensor (11) die Strahlungsintensität aufnimmt und ein vor dem Photodetektor (22) angeordneter Shutter (19) in Abhängigkeit von der detektierten einfallenden Strahlungsintensität angesteuert wird. Dabei wird die einfallende Strahlung über eine vor dem Shutter (19) angeordnete Verzögerungseinrichtung (15) dem Photodetektor (22) zugeführt wird, so daß aufgrund der Ansteuerung des Shutters keine den Shutter zerstörende Strahlung den Shutter erreichen kann und gegebenenfalls vom Shutter abgehalten bzw. absorbiert wird..
Abstract:
An electronic device for measuring extremely faint light emissions comprises a photomultiplier tube (1) surrounded by a sleeve (3) made of a material which is a good heat conductor, cooled to a low temperature and insulated from the outside, a thermally insulating and optically transparent lightguide body (5) being stably glued to the photocathode of the photomultiplier tube (1) to receive the light radiation emitted by a specimen (6) to be examined, which is inserted in a cavity (8a) of a supporting structure holding a rotary body (11) which can be turned in front of the lightguide body (5), so as to operate as a shutter for the lightguide in a first turned measurement position thereof to allow measurement of the dark signal and then allow, as the rotary body (11) and the specimen (6) held therein are turned to a second measurement position, to measure the light emission from the specimen (6).

Abstract:
Un circuit d'alimentation électrique (14) pour un objectif (10) ou un obturateur de soudage à cristaux liquides produit un signal ca basse tension pour exciter ou activer l'obturateur à cristaux liquides (10) pour qu'il passe à l'état clair, et deux signaux électriques ca plus importants ou de valeur plus élevée pour faire passer d'abord l'obturateur (10) à l'état sombre et ensuite le maintenir dans cet état. On décrit également un circuit à fréquence variable (61) permettant de varier la fréquence du signal d'excitation transmis à l'obturateur (10) afin de réduire au minimum la consommation à l'état sombre et éviter le scintillement à l'état clair. Des caractéristiques permettant d'économiser le courant et de connaître l'état de charge de la batterie sont également décrites.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method comprising: sending radiation pulses (i), i=1, . . . , M one by one toward an object and toward an image sensor as the image sensor moves nonstop in a first direction with respect to the object; and for each value of i, capturing with the image sensor a partial image (i) of the object using radiation of the radiation pulse (i) that has transmitted through the object. The image sensor comprises N active areas. Each active area of the N active areas comprises multiple sensing elements. For each value of i, the radiation pulse (i) has a pulse duration during which the image sensor travels a distance shorter than a width measured in the first direction of any sensing element of the image sensor. M and N are integers greater than 1.
Abstract:
A method and a device for measuring absorbed energy-momentum symmetry in which radiant energy W·sr−1·m−2·nm−1 is compared directly against its absorbed impinging momentum kg·m·s−1 in a manner that will provide an experimental basis for asymmetrical anomalies that may or may not exist within a measurable range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
