| 6724855 | X-ray flat panel detector An X-ray flat panel detector includes sensor elements constituted by a plurality of effective pixels that detect X-rays and a plurality of dummy pixels that are arranged adjacent to the effective pixel area and generate electrical signals irrelevant to X-rays, signa... | 04/20/2004 |
| 6310338 | Solar altitude detector The invention relates to a solar altitude detector (1) for motor vehicles comprising a shade mask (2) in which a passage opening (5) provided for permitting sunlight though is inserted, said opening creating a light structure when irradiated. A sensor arr... | 10/30/2001 |
| 5567976 | Position sensing photosensor device photosensor device (41) having tapered photodiodes (53, 55) that are interdigitated and which is compatible with typical ASIC, CMOS and BiCMOS processes. A left side photodiode array of tapered regions (53) of a first conductivity type is disposed into an... | 10/22/1996 |
| 5465144 | Remote tracking system for moving picture cameras and method The system includes a mobile remote unit sensitive to infrared (IR) signals transmitted by a base or stationary unit and an IR transmitter which is placed behind a rotating lens whose position at any time is known with precision resulting in the IR signal... | 11/07/1995 |
| 5347136 | Conduit construction laser system and laser beam receiver A conduit construction laser system comprises a light source producing the laser beam which is pivotally mounted in its front region emitting the laser beam in its longitudinal and transverse axes. The rear region of this light source is articulated to an... | 09/13/1994 |
| 4710619 | Apparatus for generating a signal providing information regarding a radiating source, especially an infrared source Information regarding an object, especially brightness information, is obned by scanning the object with an optical scanner, especially an infrared scanner to provide a respective analog signal. The analog signal is produced by passing the received radia... | 12/01/1987 |
| 4493991 | Techniques for locating beams within large area detectors Methods are shown for deducing the point of impingement of a beam, such as particle or electromagnetic beam, on a planar detector which is much larger than the beam cross-section. The methods involve chopping the beam before it reaches the detector by mea... | 01/15/1985 |
| 3981588 | Means and method for determining meridian location and azimuth Stellar events are timed through a lens system and reticle by a photomultiplier tube, times are compared and a difference factor computed, the difference factor is implemented to move the lens system, reticle and photomultiplier until times are equal, ver... | 09/21/1976 |
| 3957377 | Method of and apparatus for sensing the position of a body The position of a body is determined using a beam of electro-magnetic waves directed along a sight line generally towards the body. The cross-section of the beam is changed and a sensor mounted on the body senses these changes in cross-section and from th... | 05/18/1976 |
| 3950099 | Two-axis image motion detector A two-axis image motion detector detects two separate velocity channels through a single optical channel with a single photo detector. A single disc rotates at a substantialaly constant rotational speed and contains a pair of orthogonal grid patterns of d... | 04/13/1976 |
