    摘要: An infrared densitometer which measures the diffuse component of reflectivity as marking particles are progressively deposited on a moving photoconductive belt. Collimated light rays are projected onto a test patch including the marking particles. The light rays reflected from the test patch are collected and directed onto a photodiode array. The photodiode array generates electrical signals proportional to the total flux and a diffuse component of the total flux of the reflected light rays. Circuitry compares the electrical signals and determines the difference to generate an electrical signal proportional to the specular component of the total flux of the reflected light rays. Additional circuitry adds the electrical signals proportional to the total flux and the diffuse component of the total flux of the reflected light rays and compares the result of the summed signal to the specular component to provide a total diffuse signal for controlling developed mass.

    摘要: A densitometer which measures the reduction in the specular component of the reflectivity of a portion of a surface having a liquid deposited thereon. Collimated light rays, in the visible spectrum, are projected onto the portion of the surface having the liquid thereon. The light rays reflected from the portion of the surface having the liquid deposited thereon are collected and directed onto a photodiode array. The photodiode array generates electrical signals proportional to the total flux and the diffuse component of the total flux of the reflected light rays. Circuitry compares the electrical signals and determines the difference therebetween to generate an electrical signal proportional to the specular component of the total flux of the reflected light rays.

    摘要: A flash exposure photocopier provides a mechanism for automatically controlling photoreceptor exposure levels to compensate for the effects of documents having backgrounds of different densities. A photosensor and lens assembly is located within a flash housing in a position whereby a large portion of the document is imaged by the lens onto the surface of a chip having a plurality of individual photosensors contained thereon. The outputs of each photosensor are integrated and applied to a comparator set at a particular reference level. The comparator output controls the duration of the flash source so as to quench lamp operation when an input level is reached corresponding to the particular reference level set. The integrated photosensor outputs are also summed and a signal representing their average value is compared to the signal which triggers the comparator. The ratio of these signals is used to identify documents with high area coverage and hence high toner usage. The toner dispensing rate is then regulated accordingly.

    摘要: A developability sensing system with an optical sensor for measuring the density of imaging material samples on an imaging surface of a printer, with an illumination source and photosensor system for measuring the amount of reflected illumination from the imaging materials. A first lens system and its first photosensor may receive both specularly and diffusely reflected illumination from certain imaging materials. A separate lenslet system is positioned outside of the first lens system. It may comprise one to four spaced apart generally cylindrical lenslets with a central axis generally perpendicular to the imaging material sample and an end surface facing the imaging material sample defined by a segment of a hyperbolic curved surface to form a rotationally symmetrical lens with a hyperbolic cross-section. There are separate photosensors for these lenslets, which are positioned and optically adapted to only receive diffusely reflected light from the imaging material sample, even though reflected illumination from the imaging material sample has both specularly and diffusely reflected illumination from partially specularly reflective imaging materials.

    摘要: A sensor detects the presence of opaque and transparent copy substrates in a substrate transporting path and includes an LED disposed near the transporting path for projecting light toward a reflector on the opposite side of the media transport path and a phototransistor located relative to the LED and reflector to receive light reflected from the reflector which is periodically interrupted by substrates within the transporting path to provide an output proportional to the light received from the LED via the reflector. The operating range of the phototransistor has a linear portion and a saturated portion. A control, electrically connected to the sensor, adjusts the phototransistor to maintain the output signal in the linear portion of the operating range. The sensor is tilted at an angle with respect to the horizontal of a copy substrate to be able to detect transparencies.

    摘要: A developer unit used in xerographic printing retains a mixture of at least a first colorant and a second colorant. An illuminator directs toward at least a portion of the mixture a first light of one color, a second light of a second color, and a third light substantially outside of a visible range. A photosensor records a first reflectance signal based on light reflected from the mixture substantially in a visible range, and a second reflectance signal based on light reflected from the mixture substantially outside a visible range. The signals can be used to maintain the mixture at the desired total color and other properties.

    摘要: A lead edge and/or trail edge sheet curl sensing and constraint method and system. First and second light emitters and detector pairs are aligned such that the light beams from the first light emitter and second light emitter cross at the transport media sheet substrate path, which constitutes the path of a media sheet substrate with zero curl. A media sheet substrate with either positive or negative curl on the lead edge of the sheet substrate interrupts light beams from the first and second light emitters, as detected by first and second light detectors. A similar approach can be used to detect the trail edge curl. The time delay between the light beam interruptions is proportional to the sheet substrate curl, and the order of interruptions indicates whether the sheet substrate curl is positive or negative. A first pair and a second pair of substrate constraint rollers can also be provided in the paper path upstream and downstream of the sensing system. The roller pairs closest to the sensor are made of relatively non-deformable materials or of materials of similar elasticity so that different media are constrained in the sensor zone with the same sheet trajectory relative to the nip.
