Abstract:
In a measuring probe (40) according to the present invention, measuring light is incident onto a single fiber (13C, 14C, 15C) before being received by a light-receiving sensor (13B, 14B, 15B) through an interference filter (13A, 14A, 15A). The interference filter (13A, 14A, 15A) is formed to obtain a transmittance characteristic corresponding to a measurement parameter, depending on a condition of an intensity distribution with respect to incidents angles of light incident onto the interference filter (13A, 14A, 15A). Thus, the measuring probe (40) according to the present invention can reduce an influence of a deviation in the transmittance characteristic due to incident angles, even with use of the interference filter (13A , 14A, 15A).
Abstract:
In a measuring probe 40, a measuring beam is diffused by a first diffusion plate 19, and when received by a plurality of light-receiving sensors 13B, 14B, 15B via a plurality of interference filters 13A, 14A, 15B, the measuring beam is made incident on the interference filters 13A, 14A, 15B via second diffusion plates 13C, 14C, 15C. Those interference filters 13A, 14A, 15B are formed such that transmittance characteristics corresponding to a measurement parameter are obtained correspondingly to intensity distribution conditions for an angle of incidence of light incident on the interference filters 13A, 14A, 15B. Therefore, the measuring probe 40 can reduce the effect of displacement of the transmission characteristic caused by the angle of incidence, while using the interference filters 13A, 14A, 15B.
Abstract:
A color measurement system (100) for laterally determining the chromatic characteristics of a printed substrate conveyed by a conveying apparatus. The system includes a measurement carriage (102) and a backing carriage (114). The measurement carriage includes a measurement head (104) for laterally moving across the width of the printed substrate and a measurement magnetic coupler (106). The measurement carriage is slidably mounted onto a measurement rail (112) positioned on a first side of the printed substrate. The backing carriage includes at least one backing surface (116W, 116B) and at least one backing magnetic coupler (18W, 118B). Each of the at least one backing magnetic coupler is associated with a respective one of the backing surface. Each of the at least one backing magnetic coupler can be coupled with the measurement magnetic coupler for coupling the measurement carriage with the backing carriage. The backing carriage is slidably mounted onto a backing rail (120) positioned on a second side of the printed substrate, opposite the first side. A selected one of the measurement carriage and the backing carriage includes a motor (110) for moving across a respective one of the measurement rail and the backing rail. Another one of the measurement carriage and the backing carriage is moved across another one of the measurement rail and the backing rail by being coupled with the first one of the measurement carriage and the backing carriage.
Abstract:
A dual-mode includes a light source configured to project a structured illumination from which visible light can be filtered. The dual-mode imager also includes a detector configured to capture both the structured illumination and visible light from the scene. A temporal or spatial filter is used to selectively block visible light from one or more portions of the detector while passing the structured illumination to the one or more portions of the detector.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a spectroscopic detector, including: at least one waveguide (70) arranged on a substrate (7) and having an input surface (700) to be connected to an electromagnetic source, in particular an infrared source, and a mirror (701) on the opposite surface, so as to generate a standing wave inside the waveguide; and a means for detecting electromagnetic radiation, which output an electrical signal according to the local intensity of the electromagnetic wave, characterised in that said detection means consists of suspended membrane bolometers (72 to 75) distributed between the input surface and the mirror, each membrane of said heat detectors being separated from said at least one waveguide by anchoring points (42) on said substrate (7), and in that means (702 to 705) for sampling a portion of the electromagnetic wave is provided between the input surface and the mirror.
