Abstract: A detector array that eliminates the channel spectrum effect. In one embodiment the detector consists of a charge couple device (CCD) detector having a photoactive layer supported on a wedge-shaped substrate. Incident radiation impinging any of the pixels and passing through the substrate to the wedge-shaped surface thereof is reflected back at an angle away from the pixel from which it passed through. An infrared array and a single element detector each including a wedge-shaped substrate are also disclosed. The detectors do not require costly signal processing equipment and further can be constructed in accordance with well known manufacturing techniques and with little or no additional cost beyond that normally associated with producing such devices.

Abstract: A system and method for generating signals representing infrared radiation include the capability to provide a reference scene and an actual scene to a plurality of infrared detector elements arranged in a two-dimensional array, the detector elements being biased so that they produce a signal even when no infrared radiation is impinging thereon. The system and method further include the capability to receive a first signal representing the reference scene from one of the detector elements, receive a second signal representing the actual scene from the detector element, and remove the bias signal from the second signal. The system and method also include the capability to attenuate the remaining second signal, integrate the attenuated signal, and sample the integrated signal.

Abstract: An infrared ear thermometer includes a detector head housing, a heat sink, a recess formed in the heat sink, a thermopile sensor mounted within the recess, a thermistor, and temperature determination circuitry. The recess defines an aperture that limits the field of view of the thermopile sensor. The thermal capacities and conductivities of the heat sink and the thermopile sensor are selected so that the output signal of the thermopile sensor stabilizes during a temperature measurement. A method of determining temperature using the ear thermometer takes successive measurements, stores the measurements in a moving time window, averages the measurements in the moving window, determines whether the average has stabilized, and outputs an average temperature. A method of calculating a subject's temperature determines the temperature of a cold junction of the thermopile, looks up a bias and slope of the thermopile based upon the temperature of the cold junction, measures the output of the thermopile, and calculates the subject's temperature based upon a linear relationship between the output and the subject's temperature. The linear relationship is defined by the bias and the slope.

Abstract: A radiation detector for axillary temperature measurement comprises a wand having an axially directed radiation sensor at one end and an offset handle at the opposite end. The radiation sensor is mounted within a heat sink and retained by an elastomer in compression. The radiation sensor views a target surface through an emissivity compensating cup and a plastic film. A variable reference is applied to a radiation sensor and amplifier circuit in order to maintain full analog-to-digital converter resolution over design ranges of target and sensor temperature with the sensor temperature either above or below target temperature.

Abstract: A system for sensitively discriminating against background radiation which tends to swamp and prevent detection of radiation from a source of interest such as IR (Infra-Red) light radiation as may be found on “low observable” aircraft collision avoidance lighting, utilizes the modulation of such radiation as a mechanism for tracking the radiation and discriminating against the background radiation, for example, from other light energy sources. The radiation is detected and tracked even though the source of interest produces the radiation in bursts or pulses by controlling the sensitivity of the detector inversely with the amplitude of the radiation to which the detector is exposed, translating the electrical signals into a plurality of cycles at the modulation frequency with the aid of a high Q bandpass filter tuned to the modulation frequency and detecting the output of the filter in a phase-locked-loop detector circuit thereby providing an indication of the intensity of the radiation from the source of interest of an acceptable level. An instrument for detecting the radiation of interest may be portable and of the size approximating that of a conventional flashlight.
