Patent number: 10113960Abstract: An exemplary arrangement includes a prism-shaped measuring window, which has a measuring surface adapted to contact a substance being measured. A first surface is adapted to direct light originating from a light source to the measuring surface through the measuring window. A second surface is adapted to direct totally reflected light from an interface between the measuring surface in contact with the substance being measured and a substance being measured outside of the measuring window. A first lens arrangement is adapted to focus the light from the light source on the first surface. A second lens arrangement is adapted to focus the totally reflected light passing through the second surface to a device used for analysis. A lens in each of the first and second lens arrangements closest to the measuring window is integrated into the measuring window and establishes optical refractive power in the first and second surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2016Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: JANESKO OYInventor: Esko Kamrat

Patent number: 9766176Abstract: A method and an arrangement are disclosed in connection with a measurement arrangement of optical parameters of a separate sample taken from a process liquid, in which method a sample is taken from the process liquid. The sample can be arranged into a sample vessel provided with at least one measurement window, and optical parameters of the sample in the sample vessel are measured through the measurement window. In the sample in the sample vessel, a flow is produced which can be used to mitigate (e.g., prevent) the measurement window surface in contact with the sample from getting dirty. A back-and-forth flow can be produced in the sample residing in the sample vessel by means of pressure variation focused on the sample, and the back-and-forth flow can be focused on the surface of the optical measurement window.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2015Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: JANESKO OYInventor: Esko Kamrat

Patent number: 9632025Abstract: Method and device for measuring the Abbe number in a process liquid. Light generates successively at wavelengths of 486.1 nm, 589.3 nm and 656.3 nm and different light wavelengths are directed successively through a measuring window in the process liquid so total reflection occurs at each wavelength on the measuring window surface and process liquid. Partial light reflected at each wavelength is directed to a sensor, whereby an image forms on the sensor surface; between light and dark boundary region corresponding to each wavelength critical angle, in which total reflection occurs. At each wavelength between light and dark boundary region detection by image analysis. At each wavelength, dependency between light and dark boundary region and refractive-index of process liquid measurement is detected, the Abbe number by refractive-index values obtained from: V D = n D - 1 n F - n C ; nD=refractive-index of process liquid to measure at 589.3 nm; nF=refractive-index at 486.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2015Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: JANESKO OYInventor: Esko Kamrat

Patent number: 4776697Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the illumination of particles contained in a medium for an optical analysis, and to an optical particle analyser. The medium (1) thereby makes contact with a window (2), and a light beam illuminating the particles is directed into the medium through the window in order to form an image of the particles. In order to enable an accurate quantitative and qualitative analysis carried out directly from the medium, the light beam is modified into a beam (5) having a predetermined thickness in the direction of the normal of the window. The beam (5) is directed to advance in the medium containing the particles close to and substantially in parallel with a window surface (6) making contact with the medium in order to illuminate particles (10) contained in a predetermined volume part (9) of the medium for the formation of an optical image (8).Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 1987Date of Patent: October 11, 1988Assignee: K-Patents OyInventor: Esko Kamrat

Patent number: 4571075Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring window for a process refractometer. Process refractometers are commonly used in the industry for continuous measurement of the concentration of a solution. The wall of the refractometer facing the process solution is provided with a window which must satisfy the requirement that the passage of light rays satisfies certain criteria, that the sealing is reliable, that the fastening is firm and that the wall facing the process and the window form a planar surface. The transparent portion of the window according to the invention comprises a roof prism embedded in a V-shaped groove in the process wall. Each wall of the V-groove is provided with a sealing abutting against the prism, and the third side of the prism forms a continuous plane with the process wall.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 1983Date of Patent: February 18, 1986Assignee: K-Patents OyInventor: Esko Kamrat
