  • Method For Determining The Scope Of Detectability And Readability Of Light Signals
    Publication number: 20080120033
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for determining the scope of detectability and readability of light signals with several light spots at a given surrounding radiant density per unit area. According to the invention, calculation of the scope of detectability is carried out with the rod of the assumption that the total radiant density per unit area or the total light intensity of the light signal is obtained by multiplying the radiant density per unit area or light intensity of a single light spot by the number of light spots.

  • Method of measuring a mass flow distribution of a flow
    Patent number: 6013921
    Abstract: In a method of measuring a mass flow distribution of a flow over a measuring plane (8), a light section (5) extending parallel to and around the measuring plane is formed, the light section having a small thickness (7). A picture is recorded, vertically to the measuring plane and during a defined interval of time t, of particles carried by the flow and passing through the light section. The distribution of the images of the particles (4) in the picture is evaluated for the mass flow distribution.
