  • Patent number: 12174069
    Abstract: A multichannel color measurement instrument for measuring spectral properties of a target comprises pick-up optics to collect measurement light, first and second anamorphic optical paths optically coupled to the pick up optics, a pick-up polarizing element located to polarize measurement light in the second anamorphic optical path, a reference anamorphic optical path including a reference illumination source, and a two-dimensional variable filter sensor having an optically transmissive filter function that varies in a first direction parallel to a surface of the variable filter sensor and is substantially constant in a second direction parallel to a surface of the variable filter sensor and orthogonal to the first direction. The anamorphic optical paths spread the measurement light in the first direction direct it on to different portions of the variable filter sensor.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7538334
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for targeting an image formed on an imaging member. The imaging member includes an imaging sensitive layer formed thereon. The imaging member includes imaged and non-imaged areas. Light of a predetermined wavelength reflected from a target area of the imaging member is received. The light reflected from the target area is representative of an image formed on the imaging sensitive layer using energy at approximately the predetermined wavelength. The predetermined wavelength is suitable to initiate crosslinking of the imaging sensitive layer.
