摘要:
The light beam projector and the directive light receiver of a light barr intrusion detector are mounted side by side on a common mounting body which is angularly adjustable in a fixed casing, so as to direct the projected light for maximum reflection to the receiver by a remote mirror. A light emitting diode is provided as a visible indicator on or near the casing or the mounting and responds to the photosensitive element of the receiver through an intermediate amplifier, so that its brightness enables the effectiveness of the directional adjustment to be easily observed.

A system is described for tracking the position of a light source by mounting two orthogonal triangular interferometric systems on a gimbaled platform. The interferometric systems each provide a carrier frequency signal depending upon their pointing angle with respect to the light source. These carrier signal frequencies provide the error signals for the X and Y axis drives of the platform.

Faults in a composite filter rod being supplied to a sectioning device are detected optically by traversing the rod with a beam of light supplied along a first fiber bundle and taken up and delivered to photo-detector by a second fiber bundle. The ends of the cylindrical fiber bundles are held in the configuration of narrow homothetic rectangles transverse to the direction of feed of the rod, the width of the first bundle being approximately double that of the second bundle. The photo-detector controls elimination of faulty tips after sectioning; additional pairs of fiber bundles can be used to control synchronization of cutting with feed of the rod, and the correct succession of filter elements in the rod.

A method and apparatus for inspecting the ends of cigarettes by use of a spaced pair of optical fiber probes illuminating the ends of a cigarette and receiving light therefrom, and electronic circuit means converting the reflected light into representative signals which when processed and compared to a threshold signal provides a reject signal when at least one end of a cigarette is unacceptable.

An alarm system uses a series string of sensors including burglar, fire and cold detectors in series with a relay coil. The coil when activated, assures that all sensors are indicating a no fault condition and a contact associated with the coil, energizes a source of light to illuminate a photo detector. Upon an intrusion, the coil is energized causing an alarm to activate, which alarm may cause another alarm to continue warning of a fault in spite of a predetermined reset condition, which may undesirably occur.Other embodiments show a technique of monitoring a plurality of secured locations to determine the exact one experiencing a fault.

An automatic target detector for determining the probability that an objectn water is a swimmer. An electro-optical sensor is provided for viewing a target in water and contrast and width of the target are measured to assign probabilities that a target is a swimmer. A target which shows acceptable contrast and width is encoded and the encoded information is compared with stored reference scenes to make a final determination of whether or not a target is a swimmer.

This highly portable, self-contained timing system includes photoelectronic start-stop gates which employ a pulsed invisible light beam as a means for communicating a condition of elapsed time and for aligning each gate.

The gas detection system provides for the effective detection of gas leaks over a large area. It includes a laser which has a laser line corresponding to an absorption line of the gas to be detected. In the instant case, a He-Xe laser scans a number of retroreflectors which are strategically located around a D2O plant to detect H2S leaks. The reflected beam is focussed by a telescope, filtered, and passed into an infra-red detector. The laser may be made to emit two frequencies, one of which corresponds with an H2S absorption line; or it may be modulated on and off the H2S absorption line. The relative amplitude of the absorbed light will be a measure of the H2S present.

Droplets from a liquid stream are directed between a pair of apertures and a light source, which is strobed at a selected frequency and directed toward the apertures. In one embodiment, the apertures are spaced less than a wavelength of the droplets apart and the light source is strobed at a frequency other than the frequency of the droplets. The time between when a first of the apertures is blocked by a droplet in the stream as indicated by the light being broken during a strobe and the time when a second of the apertures is blocked by another droplet when the light source is strobed is counted. This period of time will give the velocity of the droplets, and correction of the velocity is made, if the velocity of the droplets is not at the desired velocity, by changing the pressure, for example, of the manifold supplying the liquid stream until the desired velocity is obtained. In another embodiment, the apertures are spaced from each other a wavelength or an integral of the wavelength of the droplets, and the light source is strobed at the same frequency as the frequency at which the droplets are generated. The strobing frequency has its phase changed relative to the frequency of drop generation and the pressure of the stream changed until both of the apertures are blocked simultaneously. Any deviation from this indicates that the velocity of the droplets has changed and correction must be made.
