摘要： A computer system, including data-processing equipment and a freely movable input device, wherein the input device contains at least one position change sensor from which information can be sent to the data-processing equipment and wherein the data-processing equipment can also capture information about the absolute position of the input device. Information about the absolute position of the input device can be captured by the data-processing equipment as a result of the fact that the data-processing equipment is in data communication with a light-sensitive, position-sensitive input surface and the input device emits a light beam, the point of incidence of which on the input surface can be detected by the latter.

摘要： A light curtain having a light source which emits a light beam which propagates in an area to be monitored by the light curtain and then strikes an optical detector surface. The area to be monitored is arranged in the vicinity of a translucent disc and is oriented parallel to the latter. The light source and detector surface are arranged on that side of the disc which faces away from the area to be monitored. The path of the light beam from the light source to the detector surface runs twice through the plane of the disc and via two mirrors arranged on the edge of the area to be monitored.

摘要： The invention relates to an optical-signal based control surface for a data processing system, the surface being designed as a planar optical fiber, on which photoelectric sensors are provided, the measured signals of which are used to deduce the position of a light signal striking the control surface and the position being associated with a processing mark in the data processing system. A layer having photoluminescent properties is in contact with at least one layer of the planar optical fiber. The light of the light beam shining on the control surface is converted into longer-wave light by way of photoluminescence, the light being coupled into the waveguide, diffusing therein, and being measured by the photoelectric sensors.

摘要： A computer system that includes a data-processing unit, a touch-sensitive, position-resolving input surface in data communication with the data-processing unit, and a freely movable input device, by which the input surface is to be touched for the purpose of inputting into the data-processing unit. The freely movable input device is a computer mouse, which is in data communication with the data-processing unit. With comparatively low sensor complexity, inter alia, both the absolute position of the computer mouse and also subtle position changes of the computer mouse can therefore be very easily detected by the data-processing unit.

摘要： A real-time measurement of relative position data and/or of geometrical dimensions of a moving body by lighting unit and a detector unit, wherein the moving body is movably guided relative to both of the units. Light beams are transmitted from the lighting unit towards the detector unit; the moving body protrudes between the lighting unit and the detector unit into the volume flooded by the light beams, so that the shadow border of the shadow thrown by the moving body extends over the detector unit. The detector unit includes a two-dimensional optical position detector, which is designed as a two-dimensional optical waveguide containing photo-luminescent particles. Signals from the two-dimensional optical waveguide are read out by a plurality of small-area photoelectric sensors spaced apart from one another, the strength of the signals correlating with the intensity of the light at the sensor location in waveguide mode.

摘要： A planar detector for use in light curtains, which generates electric signals as a function of absorbed light and is provided with a plurality of tapping points for the generated signals. The magnitude of the signals at the respective tapping points is dependent on their distance to the partial surfaces where the light is absorbed. As a function of the magnitude ratios between the signals at several tapping points, the distance ratios of the respective tapping points to those partial surfaces, where the light is absorbed, can be calculated. The detector is configured as a flexible layered structure made of organic material. The tapping points are disposed at a distance from the edges of the layered structure. Electric connection lines to the tapping points are connected along their longitudinal extension to the layered structure of the detector.

摘要： A light curtain for the optical detection of shading objects in an area to be monitored, wherein the area to be monitored is repeatedly swept over by a collimated light beam of variable direction. The power of the light crossing the area is measured, shadow boundaries, position and size of a shading object are deduced by an evaluating control from the temporal profile of the measured power with knowledge of the temporal profile of the direction of the light beam. An optical detector area embodied as a planar optical waveguide is arranged along the edge of the area to be monitored, photoluminescent particles being integrated into said optical detector area and one or more photoelectric sensors being fitted to the optical detector area. Using the light curtain, shading objects can be detected with very good resolution, the light curtain can be robust and can have a low production cost.
