Sensor
Latest Banner Engineering Corp. Patents:
The claimed ornamental design is shown embodied on a device that may be implemented, for example, to emit and/or detect radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g., visible light, infrared light, radio waves) and/or sound waves (e.g., audible sound, ultrasound). In an illustrative example, the depicted ornamental design may be configured as, by way of example and not limitation, a distance sensor, proximity sensor, and/or jam detection sensor, such as in industrial automation. The claimed ornamental design may be configured as a device with a dynamic gradated measurement indicator (e.g., fill level, distance) such as via the graduated bars on the front of the device. This disclosure encompasses at least an embodiment in which the graduated bars are sequentially activated (e.g., lit up) or deactivated, such as from top to bottom or vice versa.
The broken lines shown in the drawings illustrate unclaimed portions and form no part of the claimed design. Where no boundary line is shown between solid lines, this disclosure encompasses at least a corresponding embodiment in which a boundary line (e.g., a straight line) connects the ends of solid lines to demarcate a boundary between a claimed portion and an unclaimed portion.
Claims
