Patent number: 11953236Abstract: A characterization device, system, and method for characterizing reflective elements from the light beams reflected in it. The device has two variable-gain detectors on a common structure, which can be portable or fixed, and for capturing light beams reflected by a reflective element, and from at least one processor characterizing the quality of the reflected light beams and evaluating the quality of the reflective element from its reflective capacity. Each detector has a lens for increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected beam or beams, a light sensor on which the beam or beams captured by the lens are focused, an automatic gain selection system associated with the optical sensor, and a data communication device associated with the device itself. A characterization system and a characterization method for characterizing reflective elements from the quality of the light beams reflected in at least one reflective element or heliostat.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2019Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: FUNDACIÓN CENER-CIEMATInventors: Iñigo Les Aguerrea, Amaia Mutuberria Larrayoz, Adrian Peña Lapuente, Marcelino Sanchez Gonzalez, Carlos Heras Vila, Iñigo Salina Áriz, David Izquierdo Núñez, Javier Garcia-Barberena Labiano

Publication number: 20120293999Abstract: In an embodiment, a recessed light fixture includes a structural reflector and two end caps that form a light fixture housing. A first, second and third optics areas are provided. At least one first light source type is mounted near the first optics area. A second light source type is mounted near the second optics area and the second light source type is mounted near the third optics areas, the second light source type having a light output level substantially lower than the light output level of the first light source type. A diffuser is configured to sealably mount to the light fixture housing so as to substantially seal an interior portion of the light fixture. In operation, the light fixture can be switch between an ambient mode and an examination mode while providing a cost effective and attractive design.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2012Publication date: November 22, 2012Applicant: Focal Point, L.L.C.Inventors: Casey Chung, Jill Cody, Brandon Stolte, Marcelino Pena, Michael Thornton
