    摘要: A microbolometer detector has an improved support structure. The microbolometer detector includes a substrate and a support structure including at least one post connected to and projecting substantially vertically from the substrate. The microbolometer detector also includes a platform held above the substrate and including a central region substantially vertically aligned with the at least one post of the support structure and a peripheral region surrounding the central region, the platform being supported by the support structure from the central region thereof. The microbolometer further includes at least one thermistor located in the peripheral region of the platform. A microbolometer focal plane array may also include multiple microbolometer detectors arranged in a two-dimensional array. The support structures are particularly well suited for supporting relatively large platforms of microbolometer detectors, particularly for far-infrared and terahertz detection and spectroscopy applications.

    摘要: A physical quantity sensor comprises a sensor element, a signal processing circuit, and a power supply circuit. The sensor element senses a physical quantity to output a signal corresponding to the sensed physical quantity. The signal processing circuit processes the signal coming from the sensor element. The power supply circuit, which is in charge of powering the signal processing circuit, controls predetermined voltage provided from outside the sensor so that a total amount of both of power consumed by the power supply circuit and power consumed by the signal processing circuit is constant. Power-supply voltage subjected to the control to the signal processing circuit through a line connecting the power supply circuit and the signal processing circuit. By way of example, both the power supply circuit and the signal processing circuit are provided on the same semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: A method for the correction of the output signal of an infra red radiation multiple element sensor comprises the steps of determining and storing a parameter of a sensor element of the sensor and of generating a corrected signal of the sensor element in accordance with the stored parameter, where the storage of the parameter takes place in a memory supplied by the manufacturer and where prior to the correction being carried out, the parameter is transmitted to a correction device which is separate from the sensor. A sensor has several sensor elements (11a to 11i) which generate an output signal and a memory (14) provided on the sensor for the storage of at least one parameter of at least one sensor element. A sensor system has a sensor (20) as described earlier, a socket (31) which can be connected with the sensor for the purpose of signal transmission and a correction device (32) connected to the socket for receiving the sensor output signal and the parameters and for the generation of a corrected sensor signal.

    摘要: A fixing device has a fixing unit and a temperature detection unit. The fixing unit includes a heat roller provided with a roller section and a heater section, and a pressure roller in pressure contact with the heat roller. These rollers are disposed in a protective cover. The roller section includes a base layer of aluminum formed into a hollow cylindrical shape, a black radiation layer, and a toner parting layer. The heater section is disposed in a hollow space of the base layer. In this heat roller, when heat is emitted from the heater section, and the heat is transmitted to the radiation layer via the base layer, greater amount of infrared radiation is emitted from the radiation layer than in the case of a heat roller that is not equipped with the radiation layer. The temperature detecting unit includes an infrared radiation sensor. Thus, even if a noise component is absorbed to some extent by locating the sensor at a distance from the heat roller on an outside of the protective cover, the temperature of the heat roller is detected accurately.

    摘要: A staring horizon sensor is mounted on an orbiting satellite has one or more linear infrared detector arrays having the horizon being detected imaged thereon. The arrays are each connected in cyclic repetitive alternating polarity patterns for generating at least two output signals which are offset in phase. The output signals are processed to locate the position of the horizon on the arrays. The repetitive pattern interconnection of the elements in the arrays provide a focal plane data compression which reduces the bandwidth as well as the complexity of the processing electronics. In addition, interconnecting the detective elements in repetitive alternating polarity groups having a spatial frequency greater than the spatial frequency of the thermal variation of the horizon minimize any error due to the earth's thermal variations.

    摘要: A thermally differentiable pattern such as hot melt adhesive is monitored in a production line system. An electrical output from a thermopile radiation sensor is applied to a detection circuit which processes the sensor electrical output to perform an inverse to the sensor transfer function and to perform a differentiation which provides a pulsed output at rising and falling edges of the sensor signal. Comparators provide respective output pulse signals representing the respective rising and falling edges. An adjustable amplifier in the circuit adjusts pulse threshold relative to sensed radiation.

    摘要: An occupancy sensor having a primary infrared radiation sensor and a secondary infrared radiation sensor in an integrated vacuum package having a window that provides separate fields of view to the sensors, respectively. The primary sensor is for monitoring occupancy of a selected space. The secondary sensor is for monitoring the background radiation of the space. Signals from the primary and secondary sensors are electronically processed and compared, and the occupancy level of the selected space is determined. Temperature and visible light sensors may also be incorporated. Sensor information is used to control temperature, ventilation, lighting and other parameters of the selected space.

    摘要: Tympanic temperature measurements are obtained from the output of a radiation sensor mounted in an extension from a housing. The housing has a temperature display and supports electronics for responding to sensed radiation. The sensor is mounted in an improved extension which is shaped to fit into smaller ear canals, such as a child's ear canal or a swollen adult ear canal. Within the extension, the sensor is positioned in a highly conductive environment and receives radiation from an external target through a tube. Electronics determine the target temperature based on the sensor output signal and a temperature sensor signal.
