    Abstract: A system for extending the life of a repeller in an IHC ion source is disclosed. The system includes an IHC ion source wherein the back surface of the repeller has been shaped to reduce the possibility of electrical shorts. The separation distance between the back surface of the repeller and the chamber wall behind the repeller is increased along its outer edge, as compared to the separation distance near the center of the repeller. This separation distance reduces the possibility that deposited material will flake and short the repeller to the chamber wall. Further, in certain embodiments, the separation distance between the back surface of the repeller and the chamber wall near the center of the repeller is unchanged, so as to minimize the flow of gas that exits from the chamber. The back surface of the repeller may be tapered, stepped or arced to achieve these criteria.

    Abstract: A device control apparatus performs demand response control in which an amount of energy consumed in a predetermined time slot by a facility device is adjusted in accordance with an adjustment request. The device control apparatus includes a reception unit that accepts an operation instruction for the facility device, an expense effect presentation unit and a comfort effect projection. The expense effect presentation unit presents an expense effect incurred on a charge in association with the amount of energy consumed by the facility device through an activity based on the operation instruction. The comfort effect projection unit projects an effect on comfort incurred in a space surrounding the facility device in association with the amount of energy consumed by the facility device through the activity based on the operation instruction.

    Abstract: An optical sensor device for the detection of ambient light is adapted to be coupled to a pane (10), in particular to a windshield of a vehicle. The optical sensor device has a sensor unit which includes at least one light receiver (22) for ambient light and a lens plate (12) for directionally coupling an ambient light beam (26) out of the pane (10) onto the light receiver (22). The lens plate (12) has a surface (18) facing the light receiver (22) and oriented substantially parallel to the pane (10) in the coupled condition of the optical sensor device. The surface (18) includes a prism structure (20) having a plurality of single prisms (24) which are designed to direct the rays of a specific ambient light beam (26) defined by a principal direction (A) and an aperture angle onto the light receiver (22).

    Abstract: An electro-optical (EO) radiation collector for collecting and/or transmitting EO radiation (which may include EO radiation in the visible wavelengths) for transmission to an EO sensor. The EO radiation collector may be used with an arc flash detection device or other protective system, such as an intelligent electronic device (IED). The arc flash detection device may detect an arc flash event based upon EO radiation collected by and/or transmitted from the EO radiation collector. The EO radiation collector may receive an EO conductor cable, an end of which may be configured to receive EO radiation. A portion of the EO radiation received by the EO radiation collector may be transmitted into the EO conductor cable and transmitted to the arc flash detection device. The EO radiation collector may be adapted to receive a second EO conductor cable, which may be used to provide redundant EO transmission and/or self-test capabilities.

    Abstract: A single aperture three channel optical system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the optical system includes a front optical group and a back optical group that is disposed in substantially close proximity to the front optical group. Further, the optical system includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and a third sensor. The front optical group and the second optical group receives an object beam and splits into a reflected beam having first wavelengths and a transmitted beam of second wavelengths. Furthermore, the front optical group and the second optical group splits the reflected beam having first wavelengths into a transmitted beam having third wavelengths and a reflected beam having fourth wavelengths. The first sensor, the second sensor and the third sensor receive the transmitted beam of second wavelengths, transmitted beam of third wavelengths, and reflected beam of fourth wavelengths, respectively and produce the coaxial three channel images.
