    Abstract: The invention relates to a densitometer in which the slope of the density curve is adjustable. The densitometer provides a rotatable grey wedge disc and a rotatable chopper disc disposed so that a measuring light beam can pass through both discs and an object to be subjected to measurement and a reference light beam can pass only through the chopper disc. Both beams then image on a photoelectric detector which feeds corresponding signals to a comparator. When a starting position on the rotatable grey wedge disc passes a predetermined point, a circuit is opened which permits the comparator to connect a counter to a counting pulse transmitter, provided also that a predetermined relationship, for example equality, exists between said signals. The pulse repetition rate of the counting pulse transmitter is preferably controlled in dependence upon the rotational speed of the chopper disc and the slope of the density curve can be varied by adjusting the ratio between the rotational speed of the grey wedge disc and the pulse repetition rate. Where the pulse repetition rate is dependent upon the speed of the chopper disc, this adjustment is effected by a variable speed gear between the discs.

    Abstract: Method for determining the hemoglobin content of a sample by the photoelectric monitoring of a reference and the sample and the transducing thereof into a pair of electrical signals representative of the relative light transmission of the two media. The reference signal is applied to a store and, through comparison with the sample signal, an output signal having a duration directly proportional to the hemoglobin content is elicited. Also, apparatus for carrying out such method in which a capacitive storage circuit is charged proportionally to the reference light transmission through use of a monochromatic light and photocell and is discharged to an intermediate value dependent upon the transmission of the sample, the duration of such discharging being the desired output. Interposed in series between the photocell and the storage circuit is an operational amplifier a diode and a switch. The amplifier provides a voltage follower enabling the diode to be a precise comparator between the two signal levels. The time dependent output is taken from the anode side of the diode.

    Abstract: A wireless battery-powered daylight sensor for measuring a total light intensity in a space is operable to transmit wireless signals using a variable transmission rate that is dependent upon the total light intensity in the space. The sensor comprises a photosensitive circuit, a wireless transmitter for transmitting the wireless signals, a controller coupled to the photosensitive circuit and the wireless transmitter, and a battery for powering the photosensitive circuit, the wireless transmitter, and the controller. The photosensitive circuit is operable to generate a light intensity control signal in response to the total light intensity in the space. The controller transmits the wireless signals in response to the light intensity control signal using the variable transmission rate that is dependent upon the total light intensity in the space. The variable transmission rate may be dependent upon an amount of change of the total light intensity in the space. In addition, the variable transmission rate may be further dependent upon a rate of change of the total light intensity in the space.

    Abstract: A method of measuring light intensity for imaging using a light detector array comprising a plurality of light detectors arranged to generate an output corresponding to an intensity of incident light. In a first measurement mode the light detector array generates a first plurality of output signals, each generated by one group of proximate light detectors, each group comprising a light detector pair, the first plurality of output signals each corresponding to a difference between the light intensity detected by the light detectors of the group, and generating a light intensity measurement for each group from each received output signal of the first plurality of output signals. In a second measurement mode the light detector array generates a second plurality of output signals, and a light intensity measurement is generated for each light detector from the second plurality of output signals.
