    Abstract: A light measuring and indicating circuit utilizing indicating elements such as light-emitting diodes, to indicate corresponding light intensity levels. Intermediate levels are indicated without increasing the number of flip-flops employed in an activating circuit for the light-emitting diodes by intentionally causing the circuit to activate light-emitting diodes alternately. The activating circuit includes a reversible digital counter controlling the light-emitting diodes, two comparators for operating the counter reversibly in response to the comparison of light-dependent and standard signals, and a digital-to-analog converter which varies one or more of said signals in accordance with a counter output.

    Abstract: An analytically significant ratio between timevarying magnitudes of signals is periodically monitored in recurring cycles which are each synchronized with a frequency generator. During every monitoring cycle, each signal relating to the numerator and denominator of the ratio, is integrated separately for a fixed number of generator cycles. Thereafter in each monitoring cycle, the output from the integrator of the denominator signal is applied at the input to the integrator of the numerator signal and the time taken by the latter to integrate back to its starting level is measured in proportion to the ratio of the signals. Either digital or analog time measurements may be utilized and the number of generator cycles over which the ratio is determined may include transition periods between each stage of integration.

    Abstract: Method and apparatus for measuring the radiation absorption of a fluid specimen and more particularly wherein an electrical signal proportional to the radiant energy received through the fluid specimen is stored and compared with an electrical signal derived from a known reference source, the difference between the signals producing an output signal that is a measure of radiant energy absorbed by the fluid specimen. A pair of capacitors store the electrical signals for comparison and are connected alternately and intermittently to a radiation sensing means by a first pair of gates. A second pair of gates alternately and intermittently energize a pair of radiant energy sources, one source being used as a reference and the other source emitting radiant energy that is transmitted through a specimen fluid undergoing measurement. Both pairs of gates are operated synchronously by a gating circuit that is controlled by a clock and a flip-flop circuit.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium that automatically performs actions in an aquaculture environment based on light sensed by underwater cameras. One of the methods includes obtaining images of a surface of water captured by a camera that faces upwards from a depth towards the surface of the water within an enclosure that encloses aquatic livestock. An ambient light metric is determined at the depth from the images of the surface of the water. A determination is made as to whether the camera satisfies one or more depth criteria. Based on determining that the depth of the camera satisfies the one or more depth criteria, it is determined that, based on the ambient light metric at the depth, one or more action criteria are satisfied, then initiating performance of an action to be performed for the aquatic livestock.
