An optical test instrument, in combination with a removable connector cartridge is provided. A method of replacing a damaged or worn optic fiber interface is also provided. The optical test instrument has casing having a cartridge receiving cavity therein with an inner end provided with a test instrument optical port; and an outer end provided with a cartridge receiving opening. The connector cartridge is sized and configured to be inserted in the cartridge receiving cavity. The connector cartridge has a cartridge inner end for facing the test instrument optical port when in use, and a cartridge outer end for receiving an optic fiber from a device under test (DUT). The connector cartridge houses a fiber optic cable extending between the cartridge inner end and the cartridge outer end. The connector cartridge is removably connectable to the instrument casing to allow replacement of the connector cartridge when the cartridge outer end is worn or damaged.

A vehicle window with an anisotropic light sensor, has a first glass layer and a second glass layer, wherein an arrangement of light-sensitive elements is arranged, substantially parallel to the first glass layer, between the first glass layer and the second glass layer, wherein the pane furthermore has an aperture such that light can shine through the second glass layer and the aperture onto at least one of the light-sensitive elements, wherein, depending on the direction of incident light, the sensor provides a signal that is indicative of the direction, wherein the arrangement of light-sensitive elements has a camera chip and wherein the arrangement of light-sensitive elements is arranged on a flexible film.

An optical sensor includes a light emitter to emit light, a light receiver to receive the light emitted from the light emitter, a first resin body that covers the light emitter and the light receiver to transmit the light emitted from the light emitter to emit the light outside, and a second resin body that seals the light emitter and the light receiver, in which the second resin body is included inside the first resin body, and the second resin body is harder than the first resin body.

A sensor module includes: a sensor carrier for accommodating a sensor; and a housing having two coaxial cylindrical holders in which cylindrical ends of the sensor carrier are mounted to rotate around an axis. The sensor module fixes the sensor carrier in an adjustable angular position relative to the housing by producing a force-fitting or form-fitting connection between the housing and an outer surface region of the sensor carrier.

A detection device including a device main body provided with a light receiving hole corresponding to a light receiving element and a light emitting hole corresponding to a light emitting element, and a waterproof member arranged between an outer circumferential surface of a cover arranged in the light receiving hole or the light emitting hole and an inner circumferential surface of the light receiving hole or the light emitting hole.

A photodetector including: a case including a light receiving surface provided on an upper surface and having a first region that transmits visible light and a second region that transmits less visible light than the first region; a printed circuit board provided to face the light receiving surface; and a plurality of electronic components provided on a light receiving surface side of the printed circuit board and including a first light receiving element configured to detect visible light. The first light receiving element is disposed at a first position of the printed circuit board exposed to the visible light transmitted through the first region. The number of mounted electronic components disposed at the first position is smaller than the number of mounted electronic components disposed at a second position of the printed circuit board other than the first position.

A lighting receptacle assembly includes a receptacle assembly housing having a base and a head with a cavity. The head has an upper surface defining a mating interface for mating with a sensor connector and a seal configured to be sealed against the fixture housing. An index mounting ring is coupled to the fixture housing from an interior of the fixture housing and includes indexing features interfacing with housing indexing features. A spring holder plate is coupled to the head and holds a spring biasing the receptacle assembly housing in a holding direction toward the index mounting ring to engage the housing indexing features and the indexing features.

In one aspect, luminaires are described herein having sensor modules integrated therein. In one aspect, a luminaire described herein comprises a light emitting face including a LED assembly. A sensor module is integrated into the luminaire at a position at least partially overlapping the light emitting face. In another aspect, a luminaire described herein comprises a LED assembly and a driver assembly. A sensor module is integrated into the luminaire along or more convective air current pathways cooling the LED assembly or driver assembly.

A system for monitoring ultraviolet (UV) exposure of a wearer. The system comprises a wearable device operable to sense UV radiation levels to which the wearer is exposed, and to transmit UV radiation information. The system further comprises an external computing device in remote communication with the wearable device, operable to receive the UV radiation information from the wearable device and configured to determine the wearer's real-time UV index value and the wearer's daily cumulative percentage of minimal erythema dose based upon the UV radiation information.

The present disclosure teaches a UV dosimeter comprising a UV-sensitive layer and a barrier that protects the UV-sensitive layer. The barrier is permeable to oxygen but impermeable to water and, thus, protects the UV-sensitive layer from water while allowing exposure of the UV-sensitive layer to oxygen. The UV-sensitive layer is accessible to both UV radiation and visible light. The UV-sensitive layer comprises a mixture of a semiconductor material, a UV-oxidizable dye, a sacrificial electron donor, and a matrix material. The semiconductor material has a band gap that corresponds to photon energy of the UV radiation. The dye has both an oxidation state and a reduction state. The oxidation state of the dye is visibly distinguishable from the reduction state of the dye. The sacrificial electron donor oxidizes when exposed to UV radiation. The matrix provides structural integrity to the mixture.
