  • Scanning method and system for a multiple light beam system
    Patent number: 7960681
    Abstract: A method and system for scanning a multiple light beam system, such as a safety light curtain, uses a plurality of transmission signals including two or more synchronization signals for synchronizing a beam receiver module with a beam transmission module. The system has transmitter circuitry which generates the transmission signals for driving light sources of the transmission module and receiver circuitry which receives corresponding transmitted signals. The receiver circuitry generates a scanning initialization signal using an uninterrupted synchronization signal among the reception signals for synchronizing the receiver module with the transmission module and scans the receiver module in response to generation of the scanning initialization signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Pressure sensitive optical device and presence detection floor
    Patent number: 6016709
    Abstract: It comprises a series of measurement optical fiber (2) segments (2a, 2b, 2c) and a series of stress fiber (3) segments (3a, 3b) extending transversely to a longitudinal direction of the measurement optical fiber segments, the stress fiber segments being disposed in alternation on opposite sides of the measurement optical fiber segments, the fiber segments of at least one series being covered by a protective member (4) enabling the covered fiber segments to move relative to the protective member.
