    Abstract: A multi-optical axis sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a light-transmitting unit comprising a plurality of light-transmitting elements; a light-receiving unit comprising a plurality of light-receiving elements which are arranged to respectively face the light-transmitting elements and respectively receive light from the light-transmitting elements; and an indicator light indicating a light incidence state or a light blockage state of the light-receiving unit, wherein, before a muting state that invalidates the detection function of the multi-optical axis sensor is detected, the light-transmitting unit or the light-receiving unit may operate the indicator light in a light incidence/blockage mode indicating the light incidence state or the light blockage state, and when the muting state is detected, the light-transmitting unit or the light-receiving unit may switch the operation mode of the indicator light from the light incidence/blockage mode to the muting mode indicating the muting state.

    Abstract: A photometric apparatus includes: a dimming member disposed so as to be insertable in and removable from a light path of light to be measured from a display; and a hardware processor that acquires a photometric value of the light to be measured in a state in which the dimming member is inserted in the light path and a photometric value of the light to be measured in a state in which the dimming member is not inserted in the light path in order to generate a calibration coefficient for suppressing a measurement error between the state in which the dimming member is inserted in the light path and the state in which the dimming member is not inserted in the light path.

    Abstract: Method, sterilization system and robotic system for improving duty cycle of Ultraviolet (UV) emitter modules disinfecting closed environment. Sterilization system includes robotic system and plurality of UV emitter modules. Robotic system receives signal corresponding to discharge of battery from one of plurality of UV emitter modules. Each of plurality of UV emitter modules includes UV light source for disinfecting closed environment. Robotic system detects location of UV emitter module amongst plurality of UV emitter modules and maneuvers to location of UV emitter module, mounts UV emitter module and maneuvers UV emitter module to charging dock for charging battery of UV emitter module. After charging, robotic system maneuvers UV emitter module to pre-defined area for disinfecting pre-defined area of closed environment. Robotic system includes battery charged through UV emitter module when UV emitter module is getting charged, or when UV emitter module mounted to robotic system includes battery that is fully charged.

    Abstract: The present application discloses an apparatus and method configured to measure characteristics of high power beams of laser energy used in material processing. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a housing having a first compartment and a second compartment separated from each other to reduce the transfer of thermal energy between them. Optical modules having optical sensors configured to measure characteristics of the high power beam are mounted in the first compartment. A removable and replaceable beam dump configured to absorb most of the high power beam is positioned in the second compartment. The removability/replaceability of the beam dump enables operation of the apparatus without active cooling of the beam dump assembly, simplifying the apparatus and protecting the optical sensors in the first compartment.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an ambient light sensor with ultraviolet light detection function, which is adopted to receive external light for sensing. The ambient light sensor comprises a visible light sensing chip and a wavelength conversion layer. The visible light sensing chip is used for sensing light corresponding to the response band of visible light, and the visible light sensing chip includes a light receiving surface. The wavelength conversion layer is used to convert light corresponding to a specific ultraviolet light band of the external light into light corresponding to a response band of visible light, and the wavelength conversion layer covers at least a part of the light receiving surface.

    Abstract: A system for monitoring ultraviolet (UV) exposure of a wearer. The system comprises a wearable device operable to sense UV radiation levels to which the wearer is exposed, and to transmit UV radiation information. The system further comprises an external computing device in remote communication with the wearable device, operable to receive the UV radiation information from the wearable device and configured to determine the wearer's real-time UV index value and the wearer's daily cumulative percentage of minimal erythema dose based upon the UV radiation information.
