METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR USING AN INDICATOR WINDOW OF A HANDHELD SCANNER AS A TRIGGER
Methods and apparatus for using an indicator window of a handheld scanner as a trigger are disclosed herein. An example handheld scanner includes: a housing; an image sensor to capture image data through a front-facing opening; an indicia decoder; an indicator window positioned to face generally away from the front-facing opening and toward a user when the handheld scanner is in a handheld position; a light source disposed inside the housing to emit indication light through the window to provide an indication; a light detector disposed inside the housing and positioned to detect a reflection of the indication light received from an object positioned in front of or on the window outside the housing; and a processor configured to control a mode of the handheld scanner and/or a device in communication with the handheld scanner in response to the light detector detecting the reflection of the emitted indication light.
Foldable display device
A foldable display device includes a display module in which a panel hole is defined, a sensor device disposed in the panel hole, and a panel lower cover which is disposed on a surface of the display module and in which a cover hole is defined such that the sensor device is disposed in the cover hole, the panel lower cover including a buffer member and a first adhesive member, which attaches the buffer member to the surface of the display module where a minimum distance between the first adhesive member and the sensor device is greater than a minimum distance between the buffer member and the sensor device.
System for testing under controlled emulated atmospheric conditions
Exemplary embodiments include at least one modular container that can be assembled to emulate a desired atmosphere. Each container includes apertures on opposing ends of the container to allow EMR to enter and exit the container. Each container can include temperature control systems, humidity control systems, fan arrays to emulate wind/turbulence, and a plurality of sensors to measure the current conditions within the container, all of which can be installed within the containers walls.
Optical output monitoring device, optical output monitoring method, protective cap, and adapter
A light output monitoring apparatus includes a light receiving unit, an attachment unit, an adapter, and a protective cap, and monitors a power of light output from a light emitting end of a catheter incorporating an optical fiber. The protective cap includes an insertion opening into which a part of the catheter of a predetermined range on the light emitting end side is removably inserted, includes a window portion for transmitting the light output from the light emitting end of the catheter, and is fixed in position by being inserted into a through-hole of the adapter. The adapter is fixed in position by being attached to the attachment unit.
UNIFORM STABILIZED LIGHT SOURCE
In an example, a system includes a surface including one or more light sources and one or more sensors. The system also includes a dome structure configured to cover the surface. The system includes an output port on the surface configured to provide light from the one or more light sources to a device under test. The system also includes a controller coupled to the one or more sensors and configured to adjust the one or more light sources based at least in part on feedback from a sensor.
Light exposure monitoring system
The present disclosure relates to a light exposure monitoring system that includes a central control server; a plurality of indoor light exposure zones and a positioning system configured to communicate with the central control server to determine: a position (P) of an individual within the plurality of indoor light exposure zones, and a distance between a head of the individual and a floor within the plurality of indoor light exposure zones
Near-infrared sensor cover
A near-infrared sensor cover includes a cover body having transmissiveness to near-infrared rays. The cover body includes a base and a heater unit. The heater unit is arranged rearward of the base in a transmission direction of the near-infrared rays and includes a wire-like heating element. The heating element is configured to generate heat when energized. The base includes a rear portion that includes a rear surface of the base in the transmission direction. In the rear portion of the base, at least part of a section that is different from a section in which the heater unit is provided is formed by a reflection suppression structure including asperities. The asperities include a reflection suppression surface that is inclined relative to the transmission direction and reduces reflection of the near-infrared rays.
MULTI-OPTICAL AXIS SENSOR
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.
