HOUSINGS AND DETECTOR ARRAYS
There is disclosed a housing including a plurality of compartments for housing a plurality of LEDs or photo detectors. Each compartment has a number of control pads projecting inwardly and a number of protrusions. The control pads are configured to provide a contact surface for the LEDs or photo detectors to control the alignment and position of each of the plurality of LEDs or photodiodes within each of the plurality of compartments. Each of the protrusions urges each of the plurality of LEDs or photodiodes against the respective control pads to control the alignment of the LEDs or photodiodes in the housing. A detector array including a casing, an LED housing and a photodiode housing is also disclosed.
Optical positioning sensor
A sensor is disclosed that provides measurements in multiple degrees of freedom without significantly increasing size, complexity, or cost. The sensor can include a light component in support of a first light source operable to direct a first beam of light, and a second light source operable to direct a second beam of light. The sensor can also include an imaging device that can directly receive the first beam of light and the second beam of light and convert these into electric signals. The imaging device and the light component can be movable relative to one another. The sensor can further include a light location module and/or a position module configured to receive the electric signals and determine locations of the first beam of light, the second beam of light on the imaging device and a relative position of the imaging device and the light component.
MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
A measurement system includes an enclosure having at least one sidewall defining an interior space and at least one opening in the at least one sidewall, and a male insert configured to be coupled to the at least one sidewall of the enclosure. The male insert includes a flange configured to engage an exterior surface of the at least one sidewall around the opening, a stem configured to extend through the opening and into the interior space, and a central opening. The measurement system also includes a female insert configured to be detachably coupled to the male insert inside the interior space, and an opto-electronic sensor configured to be housed inside central opening along the stem of the male insert. The measurement system defines a substantially unobstructed viewport for the opto-electronic sensor.
Display screen, electronic device, and light intensity detection method
A display screen includes a first glass substrate including a color filter region and a light shielding region. The light shielding region includes a transparent region at a first position of the light shielding region. The display screen further includes a second glass substrate including a display control circuit. The display control circuit controls display statuses of the color filter region. The display screen also includes a light intensity sensor at a second position of the second glass substrate. The first position and the second position satisfy a preset relative positional correspondence to allow light transmitted through the first position to reach the light intensity sensor.
OPTICAL OUTPUT MONITORING DEVICE, OPTICAL OUTPUT MONITORING METHOD, PROTECTIVE CAP, AND ADAPTER
A light output monitoring apparatus includes a light receiving unit, an attachment unit, an adapter, and a protective cap, and monitors a power of light output from a light emitting end of a catheter incorporating an optical fiber. The protective cap includes an insertion opening into which a part of the catheter of a predetermined range on the light emitting end side is removably inserted, includes a window portion for transmitting the light output from the light emitting end of the catheter, and is fixed in position by being inserted into a through-hole of the adapter. The adapter is fixed in position by being attached to the attachment unit.
EYEWEAR WITH DETECTION SYSTEM
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.
Optical sensor arrangement
An optical sensor arrangement comprises an emitting device (E) and a detection device (D) configured to emit and detect, respectively, electromagnetic radiation and a cover (C) arranged to cover the emitting and the detection device (E, D). The sensor arrangement comprises a first cover layer (C1) partially covering an inner surface of the cover (C) and having a first and a second opening located above the emitting and the detection device (E, D), respectively. The sensor arrangement comprises a second and a third cover layer (C2, C3) covering the inner surface at areas of the first and the second opening. A reflection and/or an absorption characteristics of at least one of the second and third cover layer (C2, C3) is adapted to a reflection and/or an absorption characteristics of the first cover layer (C1) for incident light within the specified spectrum.
Proximity sensor with integrated ALS
A semiconductor package that is a proximity sensor includes a light transmitting die, a light receiving die, an ambient light sensor, a cap, and a substrate. The light receiving die and the light transmitting die are coupled to the substrate. The cap is coupled to the substrate forming a first chamber around the light transmitting die and a second chamber around the light receiving die. The cap further includes a recess with contact pads. The ambient light sensor is mounted within the recess of the cap and coupled to the contact pads. The cap includes electrical traces that are coupled to the contact pads within the recess coupling the ambient light sensor to the substrate. By utilizing a cap with a recess containing contact pads, a proximity sensor can be formed in a single semiconductor package all while maintaining a compact size and reducing the manufacturing costs of proximity sensors.
PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR
