    摘要: An anti-pilfer lock device is provided for protecting against unauthorized access to the flow control valve units projecting from the outer surface of a mobile ammonia nurse tank. A box-shaped housing is sized and configured to be removably mounted on the shell of the nurse tank in complemental conforming relationship thereto in a position shielding the flow control valve units to prevent theft of ammonia from the nurse tank. Lock structure is provided for releasably holding the housing in its valve protecting position on the nurse tank storage vessel. The lock structure includes a coupling bar connected to at least one of the control valve housings, and an extension strap secured to the bar extends upwardly therefrom through a slot in the top wall of the housing. A bolt cutter proof lock is removably connected to the upper end of the extension strap above the top surface of the housing. Upon unlocking of the lock and removal from the extension strap, the housing may be lifted from the tank to provide access to the flow control valve units. The lock structure may be left in place as the housing is removed and replaced from the tank.

    摘要: An imaging device is disclosed wherein the imaging portion of the imaging device is integrated into an optical positioning system. The imaging device has a linear array of photodetector elements that are used to generate machine-readable image data representing an object being imaged. At least one two-dimensional photodetector segment comprising a two-dimensional array of photodetector elements is integrated into the linear array of photodetector elements. The two-dimensional photodetector segments serve the dual function of providing image data and positioning data.

    摘要: An optical system that folds a light path multiple times with all the folded paths being coplanar. The light is first polarized. Then, the polarized light is reflected multiple times through a quarter-wave plate, finally being phase shifted to the proper polarization state to enable transmission out of the system. One optical element transmits light that is at one planar polarity and reflects light at the orthogonal planar polarity. Another optical element transmits light that is at one circular polarity and reflects light at the orthogonal circular polarity.

    摘要: An optical device for splitting an imaging light beam into at least three spacially and spectrally separated component beams which includes a plurality of surface pairs. Each of the surface pairs includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface of each of the surface pairs is adapted to reflect a different one of the component beams. The second surface of each said surface pairs is adapted to reflect all of the component beams except for the component beam reflected by the associated first surface. A method for optimizing the performance of such an optical device is also disclosed.

    摘要: A feedback control system has two sinusoidal quadrature position feedback signals generated by photosensitive detectors that sense light reflected from (or transmitted through) position encoding strips that have a reflectance (or transmissivity) that varies sinusoidally along the length of the strip. The system may have one position encoding strip, with two photosensors offset along the length of the strip to provide a ninety degree phase offset. Alternatively, the system may have two strips that are offset in phase by ninety degrees. An error signal is produced directly within the servo loop without requiring computation of ARC-SIN or ARC-COSINE. The error signal is continuous, and position error is not sensitive to photosensor gain.

    摘要: A method for dynamically determining and adjusting the color balance of the light strip along one edge of the scanned area and adjusting the gains of independently controlled red, green and blue channels of a CCD array. Alternatively, the gain of one color channel may be held constant and measured to determine the light intensity of the light source as the temperature of the light source varies. The power to the light is then changed to maintain the intensity of the light source within a predetermined range. The three color channels are then compared to a predetermined color balance. If the color balance is outside of a predetermined range, the other two color channels gains are varied in order to maintain the color balance between the three color channels.

    摘要: A process for compensation for real time changes of magnification in an optics system for an image scanner. Targets having high-contrast edges, on both sides of an image to be scanned, are scanned along with the image. If magnification changes, the number of pixels between the targets may change. The pixels between the targets are filtered to generate a fixed number of pixels. Photosensor sensitivity compensation values may be separated into factory compensation values and scanner pre-scan compensation values. Factory compensation values are applied before filtering. Differences between factory compensation values and pre-scan compensation values are applied after filtering.
