... 215,710. Lux, H. May 4, 1923, [Convention date]. Photometric apparatus. - The brightness of a luminous surface or a surface reflecting light is determined directly by the use of two superimposed gratings, the lines of one crossing the lines of the other and producing secondary thick lines #, Fig. 5. The thickness of these lines and the distance between them depends on the angle of crossing of the two gratings, and must be increased in thickness as the luminosity diminishes in order that they may be just visible. The angle of crossing gives an indication of the luminosity of the surface inspected. The apparatus comprises two tubes f, t' having an aperture p and a diaphragm B. At the upper part of the tube t is fitted the gratings r<1>, r<2>, one being set in a rotatable cap, the relative movement of the gratings being indicated by graduations on the periphery of the cap a.

Open-loop light intensity calibration systems and methods

The input light settings in many vision systems often do not correspond to fixed output light intensities. The relationships between the measured output light intensity and the input light intensity are inconsistent between vision systems or within a single vision system over time. This inconsistency makes it difficult to interchange part-programs even between visions systems of one model of vision systems, because a part program with one set of light intensity values might produce images of varying brightness on another vision system. However, many measurements depend on the brightness of the image. To solve this problem, a reference lighting curve is generated for a reference vision system, relating an input light intensity value to a resulting output light intensity. A corresponding specific lighting curve is generated for a specific vision system that corresponds to the reference vision system. A calibration function is determined that converts a reference input light intensity value ...

The invention is a UV sensitive composition that undergoes a color change upon exposure to a predetermined dosage of UV-C radiation. The UV-C sensitive composition comprises a halogenated polymer, such as polyvinylidene chloride, that produces an acid upon exposure to UV radiation, and a pH sensitive dye.

The composition may also include an acid scavenging composition and/or a diluent to control the amount of HCl produced in the system. The amount of HCl liberated from UV-C exposure may be selectively controlled so that a color change may be produced at a desired UV-C dosage. In some embodiments, the composition may be used to indicate a UV-C dosage from about 100 to 1600 mJ/cm2.

LIGHT LEAKAGE DETECTION IN EDGE SEALANTS OF OPTICAL DEVICES

Techniques are described for inspecting optical devices, such as eyepieces, to determine whether they exhibit light leakage through an edge sealant that has been applied to the device. Embodiments provide an inspection apparatus that can be employed to detect the leakage of light through an edge sealant of an optical device, where the edge sealant is applied to prevent, or at least reduce, the leakage of light from the optical device. Light from a light source is projected into the optical device. The light can travel along one or more wave guides within the device, until reaching an edge of the device. Light that is able to leak through an edge sealant can be reflected, using mirror(s) in the apparatus, and detected by a camera. Image(s) captured by the camera can be analyzed to determine the performance of the optical device with respect to edge leakage.
