Abstract:
An electronic device includes a housing and one or more processors. At least one proximity sensor component is operable with the one or more processors and includes an infrared signal receiver to receive an infrared emission from an object external to the housing. At least one proximity detector component is also operable with the one or more processors and includes a signal emitter and corresponding signal receiver. The one or more processors can actuate the at least one proximity detector component when the at least one proximity sensor component receives the infrared emission from the object.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for determining the thickness of a contaminating layer and/or the type of a contaminating material on a surface (7) in an optical system, in particular on a surface (7) in an EUV lithography system, comprising: irradiating the surface (7) on which plasmonic nanoparticles (8a,b) are formed with measurement radiation (10), detecting the measurement radiation (10a) scattered at the plasmonic nanoparticles (8a,b), and determining the thickness of the contaminating layer and/or the type of the contaminating material on the basis of the detected measurement radiation (10a). The invention also relates to an optical element (1) for reflecting EUV radiation (4), and to an EUV lithography system.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a mobile device for detecting light. The mobile device (300) includes a photo detector (320) which is arranged at the end of a socket barrel (114) of an audio jack socket in the mobile device. The socket barrel serves to collimate the light onto the photo detector.
Abstract:
A method and associated EUV lithography apparatus for determining the phase angle at a free interface (17) of an optical element (13) provided with a multilayer coating (16) that reflects EUV radiation and/or for determining the thickness (d) of a contamination layer (26) formed on the multilayer coating (16). The multilayer coating (16) is irradiated with EUV radiation, a photocurrent (IP) generated during the irradiation is measured, and the phase angle at the free interface (17) and/or the thickness (d) of the contamination layer (26) is determined on the basis of a predefined relationship between the phase angle and/or the thickness (d) and the measured photocurrent (IP). The measured photocurrent (IP) is generated from the entire wavelength and angle-of-incidence distribution of the EUV radiation impinging on the multilayer coating (16).
Abstract:
The present invention is solar collection data device having a main housing with means to measure and record the sun's radiance over a period of time encased in the housing. The main housing is mounted to a platform. The platform has means to attach to a variety of surfaces, including a roof. A photovoltaic cell and a photo sensor are integrally formed in the cover of the main housing. The output of the photovoltaic cell and the photo sensor will be logged and used in determining the amount of sunlight reaching the unit.
Abstract:
Eyewear having radiation monitoring capability is disclosed. Radiation, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, infrared (IR) radiation or light, can be measured by a detector. The measured radiation can then be used in providing radiation-related information to a user of the eyewear. Advantageously, the user of the eyewear is able to easily monitor their exposure to radiation.
Abstract:
A sensor arrangement includes an infrared sensor and at least one acceleration sensor. The infrared sensor is configured to detect infrared radiation, and to output infrared image data. The at least one acceleration sensor is configured to detect an instantaneous acceleration of the sensor arrangement, and to output acceleration data. The output of the infrared image data from the infrared sensor is blocked when the instantaneous acceleration of the sensor arrangement exceeds a preprogrammed threshold value.

Abstract:
There is provided an apparatus, a method and computer program product for improving a night vision. A pair of eyeglasses comprises: a sensor that detects an intensity of a light near a user; a comparator device that compares the detected light intensity near the user against a dimness threshold; and an onboard projector in the pair of eyeglasses projecting a red light simultaneously into each eye of the user if the detected light intensity near the user becomes lower than the threshold.
