  • Multi-zone non-contact spot thermometer
    Patent number: 8240912
    Abstract: A non-contact measurement device includes two or more detectors for sensing scene data from corresponding measurement zones within a target scene. Devices further include an optical system for imaging scene data from the target scene onto the detectors. The optical system is configured to provide a different optical profile for each detector, such that the device can be used to provide a best-fit optical profile for a variety of non-contact applications.
    Type: Grant

  • Electronically generating an outline indicating the size of an energy zone imaged onto the IR detector of a radiometer
    Patent number: 7352445
    Abstract: A radiometer includes a sighting system that generates a digital image of an object surface having an area that is to be imaged onto the IR detector. A shape outline is overlaid on the digital image of an object surface to indicate the extent of the energy zone that is imaged onto the IR detector. A distance entering interface is used to enter distance data indicating the distance between the radiometer and the object surface and the distance data is utilized to determine the size of the overlaid shape.
