Infrared sensor for measuring ambient air temperature
An electronic device for measuring an ambient temperature (T.sub.air) of the environment of an electronic device is described. It comprises at least one integrated infrared sensor, a blinded window preventing infrared radiation to directly impinge on the integrated infrared sensor and being in thermal contact with the environment as well as with a cover of the device resulting in the blinded window being at a surface temperature (T.sub.surface). The at least one integrated infrared sensor is adapted for sensing the temperature of the blinded window (T.sub.surface). The device also comprises at least one absolute temperature sensor for measuring a temperature of the at least one infrared sensor (T.sub.sensor) itself, and a processing means for determining a temperature difference (T) between the sensed surface temperature (T.sub.surface) and the temperature of the infrared sensor (T.sub.sensor) and for calculating based thereon the ambient temperature (T.sub.air).

COLD STAGE ACTUATION OF OPTICAL ELEMENTS
A cold stage actuation system employs an optical assembly having an adapter ring mounted to a flange connected to a cold finger which extends into a dewar. The flange supports a detector array. A resilient cold shield extends from the adapter ring to a lens holder, the lens holder connected to the resilient cold shield distal from the adapter ring. The lens holder supports a lenslet array. An optical light shield extends from the lens holder oppositely from the resilient cold shield to proximate a window in the dewar. A motor is supported within the dewar. An insulating translation arm connects the motor to the optical light shield, whereby operation of the motor induces the insulating translation arm to extend or retract the optical assembly concentric with an optical axis.

Thermal Infrared Sensor That Can Be Fixed Onto Infrared Windows
A thermal infrared sensor with a mount so that it can be fixed onto infrared windows to provide a solution for performing continuous thermal monitoring of equipment that is provisioned with one or more infrared windows. The IR mount can be made out of any material or combination thereof. The mount can be attached in any possible form to the Infrared window or enclosure surrounding the Infrared window. The mount can fully or partially cover the Infrared window to be monitored. Depending on its implementation it could also fully or partially cover more than just one infrared window. The mount can be a mount made specifically for one or more types of Infrared windows or a generic mount. It could be an existing mount that could be used in such a way that when combined with the second element it enables the presented invention.
