Filed:

Dec 29, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/752641

Inventors:

John G. Preston - Los Altos CA
Edward Belotserkovsky - San Francisco CA

Assignee:

Honeywell-Measurex Corporation - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

G01N 2157

US Classification:

356445

Abstract:

A single gloss sensor which can perform both DIN gloss measurement and DIN high gloss measurement, using the same hardware, and with minimal delay between the two measurements. The gloss sensor functions by directing light beams from a source to two different positions, either concurrently, or sequentially, between a position which measures gloss (75. degree) and a position which measures high gloss (45. degree). The gloss sensor also provides a reference light beam for correction of errors caused by the window glass, such as by dirt buildup.

Inventors:

Edward Belotserkovsky - San Francisco CA

Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

G01N 2155

US Classification:

356445, 356446, 2502081

Abstract:

A gloss sensor is described for optically measuring the gloss of a surface and compensating for dirt buildup on the sensor. The gloss sensor includes a light source and a first collimator for receiving light energy from the light source, forming therein and emitting therefrom a collimated light beam. A first detector is located within the first collimator for developing a reference signal and a beam splitter disposed adjacent the first end of the first collimator for dividing the collimated beam into a first beam and a second beam, the second beam being received by a reflection device. A first mirror is positioned adjacent a first window, the first mirror adapted to reflect the first beam onto a surface to be measured through the first window and further adapted to receive the second beam reflected from the reflection device. A second mirror is positioned adjacent a second window, the second mirror receiving the first beam reflected from the surface to be measured through said second window and the second beam reflected by the first mirror through the first and second windows, the second mirror positioned at and angle to reflect the second beam back to the reflection device. A second collimator is located to receive the first beam reflected from the second mirror including a second light detector located within the second collimator for deriving a detection signal representing a measurement of the gloss of the surface.

Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

B05D 300

US Classification:

427 8, 374100, 702127, 702130, 73 73

Abstract:

A system and method for processing measurements of a coating operation of a moving web, such as paper or plastic. A plurality of sensors are deployed at essentially the same cross direction (CD) locations and at different machine directions (MD) of the web. A measurement processor produces a plurality of measurement signal samples for each of the MD locations. The system also includes a computer that processes the signal samples produced by the measurement processor with correction data obtained from a quality control system and a distributed processing system. The signal samples of all the locations are combined to produce an MD profile of a characteristic of the web, such as moisture content, temperature, coating weight, drying rate and the like. The MD profile is adjusted with the correction data, which includes parameters, such as, dryer air temperature, dryer air pressure, web speed, base paper, coating formulation, coating weight, incoming moisture level, outgoing moisture level and infrared energy.

International Classification:

G01N021/25

US Classification:

356419, 356416

Abstract:

Preferential optical splitters are used in a multichannel wavelength measurement device. The optical splitters preferentially provide light at a certain wavelength to a detector. Preferentially providing light to the detectors allows for increased optical efficiencies.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Edward Belotserkovsky - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/1455

US Classification:

600310, 600316

Abstract:

A simple noninvasive technique that is capable of very accurate and fast blood analyte, e. g. , glucose, level monitoring is provided. Fluctuation in the levels of glucose and other analytes affect the refractive index of blood and extra cellular fluid in biological tissue. Given that the propagation speed of light through a medium depends on its refractive index, continuous monitoring of analyte levels in tissue is achieved by measuring characteristics of the tissue that can be correlated to the refractive index of the tissue. For instance, the frequency or number of optical pulse revelations that are transmitted through an individual's tissue of known thickness within a certain time period can be correlated to an individual's blood glucose level.

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

The unique characteristic sounds produced by urine as it impacts the surface of the water in a toilet are used to monitor men's urinary flow pattern and its dynamics. By detecting the intensity at selected acoustic frequencies, it is possible to accurately and precisely measure the urine flow rate. Techniques for analyzing urine flow and its dynamics employ sound levels that are detected at two or more distinct frequency regions or channels of the sound spectrum. One frequency region that is designated the measurement channel is where the sound measurement intensity strongly depends on urine flow levels. Another frequency region that is designated the reference channel is where the sound measurement intensity is not dependent on urine flow levels. By using a combination of measurements from the measurement channel and the reference channel, the urine-flow monitoring apparatus compensates for variations in operating conditions and other factors during use.
