Abstract: A touch-sensitive aparatus operates by light frustration (FTIR) and comprises a light transmissive panel (1) with a front surface (5) and a rear surface (6). Light emitters (2) are optically coupled to the panel (1) at entry ports along a periphery region of the panel (1), and light detectors (3) are optically coupled to the panel (1) at exit ports along the periphery region for detecting light transmitted inside the panel (1). At least one optical sheet (20) is provided on the rear surface (6) in the periphery region. In an outcoupling installation, the light detectors (3) are arranged at the respective optical sheet (20) to receive, on a respective light-sensitive surface (3A); light from the optical sheet (20), and each light detector (3) is arranged with the light-sensitive surface (3A) essentially perpendicular to the rear surface (6).

Abstract: A procedure and an arrangement for determining a three dimensional shape of a dental object includes the steps of providing a laser, a matrix of photo-detectors, and a controller; scanning a first narrow laser beam from the laser across a first surface area of the dental object; reflecting the first narrow laser beam away from the object; receiving a first scanning image of the reflected first narrow laser beam on the matrix of photo-detectors; determining first elevation profile data based upon the first scanning image relating to the first surface area; changing a relative angle between the laser, matrix of photo-detectors or dental object; scanning a second narrow laser beam from the laser across a second surface area of the dental object; reflecting the second narrow laser beam away from the object; receiving a second scanning image of the reflected second narrow laser beam on the matrix of photo-detectors; determining second elevation profile data based upon the second scanning image relating to the seco

Abstract: A light fitting, preferably intended to be embedded in the surfacing of a runway, includes a light source (2) with a reflector (1) as well as a limiting light opening in the field of light. A mirror device is arranged for reflecting a part of the field of light (4) back towards the reflector (1) for sending this light through the light opening (3) after further reflection.
