Abstract: This invention involves a novel egg-shaped hollow dual-compound conical light-ray concentrator with mirror-like inner walls (preferably tandem substantially inverted paraboloidal and ellipsoidal conical sections) for receiving light through one aperture end, as from an integrating sphere, and concentrating and collecting the rays within said walls and directing them to a detector at an opposite aperture end. This construction attains both high collection efficiency and hemispherical angular response.

Abstract: An insolation sensor for detecting a substantial insolation direction from the sun including a light shading film an aperture defined therein and provided on one of the surfaces of a glass substrate. A position detection element having a photoelectric conversion film made of a semiconductor is formed on the other surface. The rays of light from the sun are incident as a spot beam H onto the position detection element through the aperture. The position detection element detects a center of the intensity of photocurrent at the beam receiving portion. Therefore, even when the intensity of each of the direct rays and scattered rays from the sun change on the ground depending on the weather conditions, the center position of the distribution of the insolation intensity can be detected in accordance with the weather conditions, and a substantial insolation direction can be detected.

Abstract: Focusing a generated radiation signal on a detector is effected by a curvilinear surface. The radiation beam signal from the reflected surface is collimated or focused on the detector. Light scattered, Raman scattered, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, phosphorescence radiation signals from particles as a result of a chemical procedure or reaction is enhanced through this focusing technique. The enhanced signal which is detected is subsequently measured through different detection techniques.

Abstract: A portable traffic signal photometer is capable of rapidly and effectively measuring the intensity of light emanating from a traffic signal light. The photometer includes a housing member with a circular front opening for engagement with the lens of a traffic signal light. The photometer is pressed against the lens, and the light emanating from the traffic signal light is directed through an optical filter located inside the housing, which permits light from the traffic signal light emanating at a predetermined downward angle to pass through it. The light from the filter is directed onto a light-sensitive device, which produces an output signal proportional to the intensity of the light emitted by the traffic signal lens. Additional light-responsive photocells are provided to produce signals indicative of the respective color of the traffic signal light being measured by the photometer, and the composite of the color and the light intensity is used to produce a display which permits the user to determine whether the traffic signal light is properly operating within its designed specifications.

Abstract: A readily replaceable light rod assembly for coupling infrared energy to a photoelectric sensor element in a spark detector system used for monitoring a zone through which fine particulate matter is conveyed at high speed by pneumatic action. The light rod assembly comprises an elongate clad glass rod of optical glass, polished at both ends, positioned inside a tubular housing of Teflon material. The glass rod is fastened inside the housing by a set screw and both ends of the housing are threaded, with the input, or high thermal energy end, screwing into an end cap holding a quartz glass window, and the other, or output end, into the threaded receptacle of the sensor element.
