摘要:
An opthalmological instrument including a blinking detecting device for positively detecting when an eye is blinking to thereby eliminate errors in optical measurements due to variations in the signal light produced by the blinking. An optical system receives light beams reflected from a portion of an eye under examination to form an image of the front portion of the eye in an image plane. An image pickup element is disposed at the image plane and produces an output video signal in response thereto. A detecting circuit which receives the video signal determines whether or not the image pickup element exceeds a predetermined threshold value. If the threshold value is not exceeded, an indication is produced that blinking has occurred.

A method and apparatus for measuring eye refraction errors in which a plurality of infrared patterns are projected onto an eye to be measured. The reflected light is directed onto corresponding light sensitive detectors the outputs of which are coupled through bandpass filters, an automatic gain control circuit and an A/D converter to a microprocessor. The microprocessor analyses the digitized outputs calculating refraction powers in accordance with a disclosed nonlinear regression technique. The refraction errors of the eye, along with a reliability coefficient, are calculated in accordance with the thusly determined refraction powers.

A device for measuring the refractive error of an eye in which refractive powers in a plurality of longitudinal directions are simultaneously measured with a high S-N ratio with a high accuracy. A movable chart is provided in a predetermined direction in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of an optical system which projects the image of the chart onto the retina of the eye being examined. Measuring means measures the refractive error of the eye in accordance with the state of the optical system at the position thereof at which the image projected onto the retina is in focus. The chart has plural striped patterns which are oriented at different angles from one another.

An exposure information quantizing circuit. A current signal source generates a signal current to be quantized. A controllable bidirectional shift register has a series of bit positions and corresponding signal receiving outputs and is operable to shift a bit sequentially from one position to the next. Each position corresponds to a different divisional range of the signal to be quantized. A unique signal appears only at the output corresponding to the position containing a bit. Means comprises at least one further reference current source responsive to the outputs of the shift register for forming at least a pair of signals corresponding to opposite ends of the divisional range for each output of the shift register. A first logarithmic compression means is coupled to the signal current source for forming a first reference voltage proportional to the logarithm of the signal current. At least one further logarithmic compression means is coupled to the at least one further reference current source for causing the pair of signals to form first and second reference signals proportional to the logarithm of the at least one further reference current source. A voltage comparator forms a direction of shift control signal for the shift register in accordance with comparison thereby of the magnitude of the signal voltage with that of the first and second reference voltages. A source of shift control pulses is provided for the shift register.

A closed-loop circuit arrangement sequentially operates in a tracking mode before the shutter of a single lens reflex camera is actuated, and then in a holding mode after the shutter is actuated. The circuit arrangement receives from a conventional photoelectric circuit a first analog signal that instantaneously represents exposure time so long as light entering the camera impinges on the photoelectric circuit. A register in the circuit arrangement provides a digital multi-bit signal that is converted to a second analog signal. The first and second analog signals are compared to produce an error signal used during the tracking mode in controlling the register so that the digital multi-bit signal varies until the first and second analog signals represent the same exposure time. After the shutter is actuated, the register serves as a memory thereby causing the second analog signal to statically represent exposure time.
