Eyewear having monitoring capability, such as for radiation, 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. Advantageously, the user of the eyewear is able to easily monitor their exposure to radiation.

Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for optically detecting a flame.

The present disclosure relates generally to electronic devices and methods for sensor signal collection. The electronic devices may include retroreflectors for redirecting scattered light back to the photodetector. The retroreflectors may be positioned at various locations on or in the electronic device, and may employ various geometric elements having retroreflective capability.

A system, apparatus and method of improved measurement of the SPF factor of sunscreen compositions. In one embodiment, a method of measuring the protection of a sunscreen composition includes exposing skin to a known intensity of light, measuring the amount of remitted light from the skin, applying sunscreen to the skin, exposing the skin to which the sunscreen has been applied the known intensity of emitted light of the spectrum of light from which the sunscreen is intended to protect the skin, measuring the amount of light remitted from the skin, and calculating a UltraViolet-A Protection Factor (UVA-PF) of the sunscreen by comparing the amount of light remitted from the skin with the sunscreen to the amount of light remitted from the skin without the sunscreen.

Various implementations relate generally to multi-sensor devices. Some implementations more particularly relate to a multi-sensor device including a ring of radially-oriented photosensors. Some implementations more particularly relate to a multi-sensor device that is orientation-independent with respect to a central axis of the ring. Some implementations of the multi-sensor devices described herein further include one or more additional sensors. For example, some implementations include an axially-directed photosensor. Some implementations also can include one or more temperature sensors configured to sense an exterior temperature, for example, an ambient temperature of an outdoors environment around the multi-sensor. Additionally or alternatively, some implementations include one or more of an infrared sensor or infrared sensors, a cellular communication circuit, and a GPS module.

An optical sensor includes at least one photodetector configured to be reverse biased at a voltage exceeding a breakdown voltage by an excess bias voltage. At least one control unit is configured to adjust the reverse bias of the at least one photodetector. A method of operating an optical sensor is also disclosed.

A biometric sensor for detecting wrist blood vessels in a wristband or wristwatch. The sensor has a substrate and an array of thermal detectors arranged on the substrate. Suitable detectors include near infrared photodetectors or temperature detectors. Advantageously, the array has printed organic components on the substrate.

An optical detecting device has gas emission and pressure reduction function and includes a holder, a light penetrating component, a light detecting component, a hole structure, and a. The light penetrating component is disposed on the holder to form an accommodating space whereinside the light detecting component is disposed. The hole structure is formed on the holder to connect with the accommodating space. The waterproofing and ventilating component is disposed on the holder and covers the hole structure to prevent liquid from leaking into the accommodating space via the hole structure. While an inner gas pressure of the accommodating space is decreased, part of the gas is exhausted from the accommodating space via the hole structure and the waterproofing and ventilating component.

An image sensor module includes a circuit board, an image sensor, and a turning prism. The circuit board has first and second side sections each extending in a respective plane transverse to a plane of a center section to define a module interior volume. The image sensor has a bottom plane mounted on an inner face of the circuit board within the module interior volume. The turning prism has a mounting surface secured to a top plane of the image sensor. An electronic component arrangement is operatively mounted on the inner face of the circuit board between the image sensor and a circuit board rearward end. A number of wires providing power and data connections to the circuit board are operatively connected to contacts located on the circuit board in the interior volume between the electronic component arrangement and the circuit board rearward end.
