  • Sensor system for detecting a movement of an infrared light source
    Patent number: 9367143
    Abstract: A sensor system for detecting motion in a predefined direction of motion (30) of an infrared light source (29) has at least one pair of infrared light sensors (4, 5; 36, 37), which are arranged side by side with respect to the direction of motion (30) and, thus, define a sensor coverage zone (17) determined by the distance between distal ends (16) (with respect to the direction of motion) of the infrared light sensors. During exposure to the infrared light source, the sensors provide electrical signals, the charge signs of which are opposite each other, for detecting the motion of the infrared light source (29). The sensor system (1) has a window (7) positioned between the infrared light source (29) and the sensors such that the infrared light of the infrared light source (29) radiates onto the sensors.
