The present disclosure generally relates to infrared cloud detector systems and methods for detecting cloud cover conditions. The infrared cloud detector system comprises an infrared sensor, an ambient temperature sensor, and logic. The infrared sensor is configured to measure sky temperature based on infrared radiation received within its field-of-view. The ambient temperature sensor is configured to measure an ambient temperature. And the logic is configured to determine a cloud condition based on a difference between the measured sky temperature and the measured ambient temperature.

A computer executable method that can be stored in a memory, the method including: visually presenting on a display of a user device a history of UV dose that was calculated based on information sensed by a UV sensor in a wearable UV sensing device; visually presenting a percentile indicator on the display, the percentile indicator being indicative of a calculated percentile of the history of UV dose; and visually presenting on the display a user-adjustable UV dose threshold interface that is adapted to allow the user to interact with the user-adjustable UV dose interface and choose a user-chosen UV dose threshold quantity.

An optical detecting device capable of preventing environmental pollution includes a casing, an optical detecting component and a transparent component. The casing includes a light through unit and at least one accommodating structure. The optical detecting component is disposed inside the accommodating structure. The transparent component is disposed inside the accommodating structure and located above the optical detecting component, to partly fill the accommodating structure at least and block between the light through unit and the optical detecting component.

An electronic device may have a display with a cover layer. An ambient light sensor may be aligned with an ambient light sensor window formed from an opening in a masking layer on the cover layer in an inactive portion of the display. To help mask the ambient light sensor window from view, the ambient light sensor window may be provided with a black coating that matches the appearance of surrounding masking layer material while allowing light to reach the ambient light sensor. The black coating may be formed from a black physical vapor deposition thin-film inorganic layer with a high index of refraction. An antireflection layer formed from a stack of dielectric layers may be interposed between the black thin-film inorganic layer and the display cover layer.

A test device includes: a support that supports a light emitting device subject to a test; a light waveguide that guides light output from the light emitting device supported by the support; a light diffuser plate that diffuses light output from the light waveguide; and a light receiving device that receives light diffused by the light diffuser plate. The test device may further include a constant-temperature device that houses the support and the light emitting device supported by the support and control a temperature of the light emitting device. The light receiving device may be provided outside the constant-temperature device, and the light waveguide may guide light from inside the constant-temperature device to a space outside the constant-temperature device.

A signal barrier for a sensor device can include at least one wall that forms an inner space, wherein the at least one wall comprises a material for reducing an amount of a signal from entering the inner space, wherein the at least one wall is configured to be disposed adjacent to a transceiver element of the sensor device, wherein the transceiver element is directed to the inner space.

Eyewear having radiation monitoring capability 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.

An optoelectronic module that includes a reflectance member which exhibits mitigated or eliminated fan-out field-of-view overlap can be concealed or its visual impact minimized compared to a host device in which the optoelectronic module is mounted. In some instances, the reflectance member can be implemented as a plurality of through holes and in other instances the reflectance member may be a contiguous spin-coated polymeric coating. In general, the reflectance member can be diffusively reflective to the same particular wavelengths or ranges of wavelengths as the host device in which it is mounted.

An optical device package is disclosed. The optical device package includes a substrate that passes light at an optical wavelength. The optical device package also includes an optical device assembly that is mounted to the substrate. The optical device assembly comprises an optical device die. The optical device die has a first surface that is mounted to and facing the substrate and a second surface that is opposite the first surface. The optical device package further includes a molding compound that is disposed at least partially over the second surface of the integrated device die.

A technique and apparatus for monitoring a plant canopy over a field is disclosed. The technique includes receiving first sensor values from a plurality of plant canopy sensors disposed in or on a ground of the field under the plant canopy. The first sensor values are indicative of near-infrared (IR) light reflected or reradiated from the plant canopy. Second sensor values are also received from the plant canopy sensors. The second sensor values are indicative of red light that is incident through the plant canopy. A map of the plant canopy may be generated based upon the first and second sensor values.
