Abstract:
A sensing device for sensing a backlight density of a panel module is disclosed. The panel module includes a panel, a back plate and a holding frame. The back plate has an opening formed thereon and is for installing the panel onto the holding frame. The sensing device includes a sensor module and a base. The sensor module is for sensing a light projected via the opening and generated by the panel. The base is disposed between the back plate and the holding frame. The base includes a main body and a resilient structure. The main body is for containing the sensor module. The resilient structure extends from the main body and resiliently abuts against the holding frame. The resilient structure presses the main body onto the holding frame when resilient abutting against the holding frame, such that the back plate and the main body cooperatively covers the sensor module.

Abstract:
A light fixture includes a light emitting module for radiating and illuminating a preset illumination area with a fixed illuminance; a light sensor unit mounted on and in electrical communication with the light emitting module, including a light guiding pipe having a first end for guiding reflection light beam from the preset illumination area into the guiding pipe and a light sensor component mounted on a second end of the guiding pipe for measuring an illuminance of the reflection light beam guided into the guiding pipe in order to modulate the light emitting module based on the measured illuminance in such a manner that the light emitting module is capable of actively automatically controlling and maintaining the preset illumination area with the fixed illuminance.
Abstract:
An assembly that enables precise mounting of a sensor with improved heat transfer and rotation compensation includes an integrated dewar cooler assembly incorporating the sensor. The dewar assembly is mated to a motorized mount that is controlled to stabilize the rotation of the scene. The sensor is radially aligned relative to the axis of rotation in two adjustment stages. A first stage of adjustment controls the radial position of the sensor inside a bearing. And a second stage of adjustment controls radial translation of the entire assembly outside the bearing. Passive heat transfer is accomplished through a pair of heat sinks that effectively sandwich a hot expander end cap of the dewar, providing multiple heat paths. The entire dewar assembly is rotated during operation to stabilize the scene. The rotating mass of a cooling compressor coupled to the dewar is counter-balanced to avoid torque due to inertia.
Abstract:
The present invention is an optical proximity sensor and manufacturing method thereof. The optical proximity sensor has an optical sensing unit, an illuminating unit, multiple transparent gels and a package. The package encapsulates the optical sensing unit and the illuminating unit. The transparent gels are respectively formed on top surfaces of the optical sensing unit and the illuminating unit. The transparent gels respectively have a convex part and a recess formed in the convex part. The package has through holes communicating with the recesses of the transparent gels to form openings. In a step of injecting encapsulant gel, because the transparent gels are still plastic, the protrusions can closely attach to the transparent gels. The encapsulant gel is prevented from forming above the sensing part and the illuminating part.

Abstract:
A novel sensor unit actuating mechanism that can cause a sensor unit to leave or enter a frame smoothly even when the thickness of the frame is reduced and that has a mechanism for coping with a prank by a child or the like, such as a push-back of the sensor unit. The sensor unit actuating mechanism includes a frame, a sensor unit including an optical sensor, a spring member configured to expand or contract in a Y direction, actuators configured to contract against the resilience of the spring member when energized, and a guide member for moving the sensor unit linearly in an X direction. When the actuator is energized, the sensor unit, is linearly moved from inside the frame to the measurement position; when the actuator is energized, the sensor unit is linearly moved from the measurement position to inside the frame and stored therein.
