In one embodiment, a media conveyance apparatus is provided comprising a light sensor positioned on a first side of a media conveyance path; a light source positioned on a second side of the media conveyance path; and presence determination circuitry. The media conveyance apparatus is configured such that the light sensor and the light source are positioned such that media may pass between the light sensor and the light source along the media conveyance path. The media conveyance apparatus is further configured such that the light sensor provides signals to the presence determination circuitry indicating an amount of light received from the light source and the presence determination circuitry determines a reflection loss based on the signals received from the light sensor and further determines whether the reflection loss satisfies a loss threshold. The media conveyance apparatus is further configured so that if the presence determination circuitry determines the reflection loss satisfies the loss threshold, the presence determination circuitry outputs a media present indication.

Abstract: A measurement system for measuring a degree of moisture stratification in a flat sheet product, such as paper, board or other materials. The system uses a combination of a reflection gauge and a transmission gauge to provide output signals indicative of surface moisture of a first side and of moisture in the body of the flat sheet product. The output signals are processed by a controller or computer to provide a measurement of the moisture stratification. An additional reflection gauge and an additional transmission gauge can also be used to provide additional output signals indicative of surface moisture of a second side of the flat sheet product and of moisture in the body. Narrow band radiation is used with modulation to distinguish from ambient radiation as well as radiation incident on the opposite side.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for calibrating an optical component, such as a DWDM, a thin film filter, a collimator, and a wave-guide. The method includes the steps of projecting a laser beam through the optical component, detecting the transmitting power while moving the optical component until the transmitting power is maximum to determine a local area, and detecting the reflected power while moving the optical component with fine steps within the local area until the reflected power is minimum, where an optimum point is located, which gives the maximum transmitting power and minimum reflected power.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system to correct for angular spread within an HDR used to determine IR optical constants. An algorithm simulates the transmission and polarized reflection actually observed. This is achieved by averaging power scattering over an angular spread corresponding to the size of the HDR mirror. Such an algorithm may incorporate corrections for angular spread that may be used to determine the thickness of a film (coating) as well as the optical constants of the film or coating on low loss ranges.
