A detector device is designed to capture light and to generate electrical signals. The detector device includes a housing and a detector disposed in the housing so as to be moveable at least partially in the housing and with respect to the housing. The detector device is useable in a detection system and/or in a microscope.

A configurable lens cover configured to be disposed over a lens of a sensor to control an area monitored by a sensor and/or to block light from undesirable directions from striking the lens of the sensor. The configurable lens cover includes a collar that has an inner edge which defines a central opening. Further, the configurable lens cover includes detachable panels that extend angularly and inward towards a central axis and the central opening of the configurable lens cover from the inner edge of the collar. The detachable panels may be partially separated from each other along the side edges and top end of each detachable panel. Furthermore, the configurable lens cover includes perforations formed adjacent a bottom end of each detachable panel that is coupled to each other and the collar. The perforations define a living hinge along which each detachable panel is breakable.

A light sensor assembly includes a sensor connector having a housing including a top and a bottom with power contact channels in the bottom of the housing. The sensor connector includes a circuit board supported by the housing at the top having a sensor component electrically connected to the circuit board sensing an environmental characteristic exterior of the sensor connector. The sensor connector includes power contacts received in corresponding contact channels and extending from the bottom for electrical connection with receptacle power contacts of the receptacle connector. The power contacts include a neutral power contact, a line power contact and a load power contact, where the line power contact and the load power contact are integral as a unitary contact body forming a monolithic line-load power contact.

Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for optically detecting a flame. A system may comprise an optical flame detector, wherein the optical flame detector comprises a magnetometer, an accelerometer, and a gyroscope; and an information handling system, wherein the information handling system is configured to obtain orientation data from the magnetometer, the accelerometer, and the gyroscope; wherein the orientation data comprises movement and/or vibration data; angular velocity data; and direction data.

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.

To provide a connecting structure for a signal cable capable of securing a sufficient display area concerning a display in a photoelectric switch. A photoelectric switch includes a housing having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. A display 5 is provided on a first surface of the housing and includes a display region. A signal cable 51 connects a control board and the display 5. The display 5 includes a connecting section 70a connected to the signal cable 51. The connecting section 70a is disposed between the display region and the signal cable in the longitudinal direction of the housing. Consequently, a connecting structure for the signal cable 5 capable of securing a sufficient display area concerning the display 5 in the photoelectric switch is provided.

To make a display in a photoelectric switch easy to see for a user. A photoelectric switch includes a housing having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. A display is attached to a first surface of the outer surface of the housing. A control board is housed on the inside of the housing. A controller is mounted on the control board. The first surface includes a hole-like or cutout-like opening section for allowing a signal cable to pass from the outside to the inside of the housing. The signal cable electrically connects the control board disposed on the inside of the housing and the display disposed on the outside of the housing. A cover member includes a window section for exposing a display region of the display and covers a non-display region of the display. The cover member is provided outside the housing.

Eyewear having monitoring capability, such as for radiation or motion, is disclosed. Radiation, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, infrared (IR) radiation or light, can be measured by a detector. The measured radiation can then be used in providing radiation-related information to a user of the eyewear. Motion can be measure by a detector, and the measured motion can be used to determine whether the eyewear is being worn.

This disclosure is directed to devices, systems, and methods for skin damage protection and detection, including providing images and recommendations and images to users to assist them with proper application of an applied-to-skin sunscreen. Disclosed devices include personal user devices that are operable to emit ultraviolet light and to measure the degree of ultraviolet light reflected from skin, upon which images can be presented on a device screen to give visual indications of sunscreen coverage and/or skin aging. Measured ultraviolet images and visible light images can further be presented to device users in an overlay, side-by-side, or other fashion, to further assist in detection of sunscreen coverage and/or degrees of skin damage. Further, the user of the device may be able to view real-time video in the same ultraviolet/visible light overlay fashion, and assess the state of photo-protective effects of an applied-to-skin sunscreen.

Various embodiments of a light detection device and a method of using the device are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the light detection device can include a housing that extends along a housing axis between top and bottom surfaces. The device can also include a port that is adapted to receive a sample, and a door connected to the housing. The door can include an actuator portion adapted to selectively move the door between a closed position and an open position, and a cover portion connected to the actuator portion and adapted to close the port when the door is in the closed position and open the port when the door is in the open position to allow external access to the port.
