US Patent:

58398295, Nov 24, 1998
Filed:

Jan 30, 1997
Appl. No.:

8/791685
Inventors:

Timothy J. Litvin - Santa Cruz CA
Ronald P. Briars - Campbell CA
Assignee:

Raytek Subsidiary, Inc. - Santa Cruz CA
International Classification:

G01K 100
G01K 1500
G01J 502
G01B 1100
US Classification:

374121
Abstract:

An improved method for aligning the aiming beams of an infrared heat sensor included the steps of providing a heat source at a target site, orienting the infrared heat sensor so that output signal is maximized to orient an optical axis toward the target site, and aligning the aiming beams relative to the target site.

US Patent:

56264240, May 6, 1997
Filed:

Jul 21, 1994
Appl. No.:

8/278310
Inventors:

Timothy J. Litvin - Santa Cruz CA
Ronald P. Briars - Campbell CA
Assignee:

Raytek Subsidiary, Inc. - Santa Cruz CA
International Classification:

G01K 100
G01J 502
G01B 1100
US Classification:

374121
Abstract:

A system for aiming a remote IR temperature sensing device includes a beam splitter assembly and mirror assembly mounted on opposite sides of the body of the device. Both assemblies provide for adjusting the vertical and azimuthal positions of alignment beams to facilitate the use of inexpensive, low-tolerance parts while providing high accuracy to improve sensitivity, accuracy, and resolution. A dual action trigger initiates temperature measurement and logs currently measured temperature information.
