    Abstract: A multi-stage control for an auto-darkening lens includes a first detector to detect initiation of welding and a second detector to detect continuation of welding after welding has been initiated. The first detector has relatively low sensitivity and fast response time; and the second detector has relatively high sensitivity that can be altered as may be necessary, relatively slow response time to allow opportunity to determine whether welding is continuing as inputs indicative of welding, and adaptive filtering to filter ambient effects and the like from such inputs to avoid false detection of welding. A method of enhancing operation of an auto-darkening lens control that has a detector and associated circuitry to detect initiation of welding substantially independently of time based filtering and to maintain detecting of welding using time based discrimination, comprising coupling control signals and power to an auto-darkening lens via a substantially unimpeded path from a detector to the auto-darkening lens.

    Abstract: An optical measurement device calibration tool includes an optical probe suitable for calibrating various optical imaging devices, for example, low coherence reflectometers and optical coherence tomography devices. In a preferred embodiment the calibration tool comprises a container containing a calibration substance with stable optical scattering and absorption properties. The calibration substance includes a gel, paste or grease substance and is covered a protective seal, which is at least partially transparent providing optical contact between the optical probe and the calibration substance. The protective seal is covered with a viscous complementary material. Another protective seal made at least partially removable is placed above the viscous complementary material and may serve as a cover for the container. The calibration tool maintains the advantages of calibration tools using liquids and solid states as calibration substance and is more cost-effective and more convenient for calibrating optical measuring devices such as in medical applications.

    Abstract: An optical sensor device includes a luminescence element for emitting ray toward a windshield of a vehicle, and a photoreception element for detecting ray projected thereon. A sensor case is provided for accommodating the photoreception element and the luminescence element, which is activated by a control unit according to a predetermined luminescence pattern. The control unit switches an output of the photoreception element as an output of a rain sensor or an illumination sensor, based on the predetermined luminescence pattern of the luminescence element. Accordingly, the rain sensor and the illumination sensor can share the same photoreception element, thus small-sizing the optical sensor device.
