    摘要: The apparatus is for use with a surface and includes a light source, a body and a light production apparatus. The light source includes a plurality of elements for generating light. The body: has a planar base for placement in use on the surface, the base being orientated perpendicular to the receiving axis; defines a sampling aperture communicating with the base and through which the receiving axis passes; encompasses the elements; and is adapted, in combination with the light source and when the sampling aperture is blocked to ambient light, to shield the sensor from ambient light. The light production apparatus is for converting the light of the elements through internal reflection, absorption and filtration into light collimated to impinge upon the base, at the intersection of the base and the receiving axis, at a predetermined angle to the receiving axis.

    摘要: The present concept is a portable colour sensor for measuring colour of a substrate that includes a single flat printed circuit board with a top and bottom side which includes at least one LED light and one colour sensor and at least one light pipe receiving light from the LED and transmitting it onto a substrate at an angle theta. It also includes a tube frame including an optical tube for receiving light reflections from the substrate and directing the reflections to the colour sensor. The light pipes and the tube frame, are mounted and compression fit between the printed circuit board and a lower housing.

    摘要: An adaptor for use with a colour measuring device is provided where the colour measuring device has a cavity, a sensor positioned at a closed end of the cavity for measuring colour of a surface, and a rim surrounding an open end of the cavity. The adaptor includes a plate for contacting the surface and covering the rim of the colour measuring device, the plate having a portion for occluding the cavity that is transparent, referred to as the transparent portion, and a releasable coupling mechanism fixed to the plate for coupling the plate to the colour measuring device such that the transparent portion of the plate covers the sensor of the colour measuring device.

    摘要: The present concept is a compact portable colour sensor for measuring colour of a substrate. The sensor includes a lower housing including an interior, the lower housing for cooperatively mating together with a upper housing, a detector portion including a printed circuit board rigidly connected to an interior of the lower housing and substantially enveloped by the upper and lower housings when in a mated position The printed circuit board includes at least one LED and one colour sensor mounted on a bottom side of the printed circuit board, and at least one transparent light transmitting light pipe and a transparent lens is mounted interferingly between the bottom side of the printed circuit board and the interior of the lower housing, and wherein the compact portable colour sensor is configured such that light transmitted by the LED impinges upon the substrate and is at least partially reflected back to the colour sensor to take a measurement. Preferably wherein the lower housing has an inverted truncated conical shape and the upper housing has an upright truncated conical shape.

    摘要: The present concept is a method of preparing an egg to determine the color of the egg using an egg yolk cover. The egg yolk cover is dome-shaped with a base edge and inspection area. The egg yolk cover eliminates ambient light from impinging on the egg yolk and is used in combination with a light sensor to determine the color of egg yolks. The light sensor includes a single flat printed circuit board with a top and bottom side which includes at least one LED light and one color sensor, at least one light pipe receiving light from the LED and transmitting it onto a substrate at an angle theta and a tube frame including an optical tube for receiving light reflections from the substrate. The light pipes and the tube frame are compression fit between the printed circuit board and a lower housing. To determine the color of the egg yolk, the egg is first cracked onto a flat surface. The egg yolk cover is then placed over the egg yolk and the color sensor is placed onto the inspection area to measure the color.
