    摘要: In an optically coupled sensing and control system, a train of light wave pulses are generated and directed along a first pathway in a first direction with the light wave pulses in said pathway diverging by a predetermined amount. Reflector apparatus receives the light wave pulses in said first pathway and directs the received pulses in a second direction opposite the first direction along a second pathway spatially displaced from the first pathway. Detection apparatus is positioned in the second pathway to detect whether the light waves in either the first or second pathway are interrupted. When light wave pulses are detected by the detection apparatus, an enabling signal is generated and then applied via gating circuitry to memory circuitry. The gating circuitry opens for a predetermined period of time after each light wave pulse is generated to allow any enabling signal to pass to the memory circuit. The memory circuit is reset in response to the generation of each light wave pulse and is set upon receipt of an enabling signal via the gating circuitry from the detecting apparatus. The memory circuit generates an output signal whenever the circuit is in the set condition. Thus, when the light wave pulses in either the first or second pathway are interrupted, the memory circuit is placed in a reset condition and when the light wave pulses are uninterrupted, the memory circuit is alternately placed in the set and reset conditions.
