  • Patent number: 11768112
    Abstract: An insert coaxial thermal radiation image evaluating system includes a cage support, first lens, first cage movable frame, second cage movable frame, cage holder and light detector. The first cage movable frame is movably disposed at the cage support and connected to the first lens. The second cage movable frame is movably disposed at the cage support and connected to the light detector. The cage holder is connected to the cage support to fix the cage support to an optical substrate. The first cage movable frame is movably disposed in the cage holder. The first lens and a second lens of a metal additive manufacturing system together form a structure of conjugate foci, such that a thermal radiation generated from a high-power infrared laser irradiation zone forms according to a fixed ratio an image captured by the light detector.

  • Publication number: 20180041683
    Abstract: The present invention provides a high-dynamic-range sensing device and the sensing method thereof. The high-dynamic-range sensing device includes a control unit and sensing units with different sensing ranges. In the sensing method, the sensing units give sensing values, and then the control unit compares the sensing values and the upper sensing limit of the sensing units, respectively. When a sensing value is equal to the upper sensing limit, the control unit rejects the sensing value or interrupts the sensing of the sensing unit thereof. Thereby, the sensing device quickly excludes the sensing units which obtain saturated signals and their sensing values and thus switches between the alternative sensing units with different sensing ranges or picks up the optimum one of the sensing values.
