Abstract: A close contact type image sensor having an improved structure and manufacturing process utilizes a body having integral reflective surfaces to eliminate assembly steps. The body and reflective surfaces are formed using different plastic materials in a single injection molding process. A material having highly reflective characteristics is used for the reflective surfaces. A light source is aligned with the reflective surface by pins in the sensor body which are inserted into holes in the light source. Alternatively, the light source can be mounted on a printed circuit board which has holes that are aligned with the pins. A self focusing lens is mounted in the body to focus reflected light onto a light detector which is mounted on a printed circuit board. A transparent cover piece is mounted in an opening in the body. Flat spring clips secure the printed circuit board to the body of the sensor.

Abstract: An optical proximity sensor generates information indicative of a distance to an object in a field and in some embodiments also generates information indicative of a spectral reflectance characteristic of the object. The information indicative of the spectral reflectance characteristic can be used to determine whether the object in the field is a living plant or another object such as soil. Light emitted from the optical sensor for reflection off the object is modulated so that reflected light from the optical sensor can be discriminated from reflected ambient sunlight. The optical sensor is scanned over the field to map objects in the field and/or to determine the location of rows of crop plants. A sensor in accordance with the present invention has many uses in agriculture including spraying, cultivation and vehicle guidance.

Abstract: A simple device for collecting a greater amount of fluorescent emission from a minute sample in a capillary column. An axially symmetrical paraboloid reflector is implemented to collect fluorescent emission from the capillary column. The reflector also serves as a simple bracket for positioning and aligning the capillary column. Fluorescent emission is collimated by the paraboloid reflector which allows more effective use of band pass filters in blocking scattered radiation from detection. The scattered and transmitted radiation can be used to facilitate alignment of the capillary with respect to the detection optics. The paraboloid reflector also facilitates the implementation of simultaneous multiple-channel detection.
