The invention relates to an arrangement for detecting a position of a plunger (4) relative to a bung (3) in a drug cartridge (1), comprising a proximity sensor (5) located close to a distal end (6) of the plunger (4) facing the bung (3) and aligned to receive light reflected by the bung (3).

A laser scanning method and a laser scanning apparatus. The laser scanning method comprises: generating a periodic input laser signal with a plurality of non-overlapping wavelengths in multiple time periods within each period; coupling each wavelength of a plurality of non-overlapping wavelengths of input laser signals to the corresponding output channel of multiple spatially-separated output channels, and emitting light from each output channel at different exit angles from each other.

An optical detection device capable of detecting a pointer position of a turntable watch includes an optical receiver and a processor. The optical receiver is disposed inside the turntable watch and adapted to receive an optical reflecting signal. The processor is electrically connected to the optical receiver and adapted to compare a physical quantity of the optical reflecting signal with a predefined condition for determining whether a pointer of the turntable watch is located above the optical receiver. The optical detection device further includes an optical emitter electrically connected to the processor and adapted to emit an optical detecting signal. The optical detecting signal is projected onto the pointer to generate the optical reflecting signal.

An erosion monitoring system of components exposed to wear for use in systems equipped with a fluidized catalyst comprising a bundle of fiber optic sensors, said optical fibers being provided with one or more Bragg gratings, a processing unit and the fiber optic sensors depart off from the bundle and are positioned transversely to the wall exposed to erosion wear due to the erosion of the components to be monitored.

A system and method for an optical displacement detector system with adjustable pattern direction are disclosed. In an embodiment, the detector system includes a mounting bracket and a sensor assembly. The sensor assembly includes a housing, and a sensor module in the housing. The sensor assembly can be rotated with respect to the mounting bracket to adjust an optical axis of the sensor module. In another embodiment, the detector system includes a turntable that enables additional adjustment of the optical axis. Such a system significantly improves installation of these detector systems as compared to existing optical displacement detector systems, which have fixed optical axes. In one application, the detector system is installed in a door system having a door and door frame, and detects displacement of the door.
