Abstract: A self-contained, electro-optic instrument measures and displays the intensity emitted by an ultraviolet (UV) light source. The instrument is a portable, battery-operated device which has the size and shape of a flashlight. The measurement head receives various light guide adapters to provide a proper fit for a light guide of the UV spot curing system being used. Alternatively, the measurement head may be fitted with a wide angle lens to receive UV light for environment safety testing. In operation with a spot curing system, the instrument is gripped in one hand while the light guide is inserted in the adapter in the measurement head with the other hand. Once the spot curing system's light guide is inserted, a start switch on the body of the instrument is depressed and a measurement is taken. When the start switch is released, the measurement temporarily stored and displayed on a display, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD). Operation is similar for environmental safety testing except the instrument is simply pointed in a direction where the UV light is to be measured.

Abstract: A wide field-of-view optical element 12 suitable for use in a laser warning system including a frusto-conical block of optically transparent material having a first surface 14 and a second surface 16. The first surface 14 is parallel with the second surface 16 and coaxial therewith. The radius R.sub.1 of the first surface 14 is less than the radius R.sub.2 of the second surface such that the sides of the element 12 are slanted. Reflective material is coated on the interior 17 of the first surface 14 for directing incident optical energy toward a detector 20 mounted at the second surface 16. Similarly, a reflective material is coated on the interior 18 of the second surface 16 for directing incident optical energy to the detector 20 via the first surface 14. The second reflective coating on the second surface is disposed between the outer periphery thereof and a nonzero distance R.sub.3 from the center thereof to provide an aperture at which the detector 20 may be mounted.

Abstract: In an area illuminated by both artificial and natural light sources, a control system is implemented to reduce the energy consumption by proportionately dimming the artificial sources to a level such that the sum of natural plus artificial light is held essentially constant. Use of an open loop sensing scheme allows the control system to operate over a wide range of conditions with no oscillations and good control of the total illumination level.

Abstract: A testing apparatus for making photometric measurements of transmission and reflectance of large parts uses a light beam having a spatially ill-defined energy distribution. A detector for receiving the light beam has a spatial variation in its sensitivity over its sensing area. A diffuser is provided which is disposed in the light beam for intercepting the light beam before it strikes the detector. The diffuser is formed of a white-like plastic and has a thickness which decreases progressively towards the outer edges of the same to compensate for the fall-off in sensitivity of the detector to rays closer to the outer margins of the diffuser or away from the center of the diffuser. The diffuser is formed in two portions in which a portion of the diffuser is in substantially closer proximity to the detector than the other portion to minimize the directional sensitivity of the detector.The apparatus uses an invisible beam which is aimed by a coaxial visible beam. Measurements of transmission and reflectance are made in quick succession by moving the sample on a carriage and using a movable mirror assembly. The invisible beam is aimed separately for each of the two measurements.

Abstract: Various implementations relate generally to multi-sensor devices. Some implementations more particularly relate to a multi-sensor device including a ring of radially-oriented photosensors. Some implementations more particularly relate to a multi-sensor device that is orientation-independent with respect to a central axis of the ring. Some implementations of the multi-sensor devices described herein further include one or more additional sensors. For example, some implementations include an axially-directed photosensor. Some implementations also can include one or more temperature sensors configured to sense an exterior temperature, for example, an ambient temperature of an outdoors environment around the multi-sensor. Additionally or alternatively, some implementations include one or more of an infrared sensor or infrared sensors, a cellular communication circuit, and a GPS module.
