US Patent:
7442917, Oct 28, 2008
Filed:
Feb 23, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/360081
Inventors:
George E. Rollins - Chelmsford MA, US
James E. Dogul - Hudson NH, US
Richard Galera - Nashua NH, US
Derek W. Jones - Kirkcudbright, GB
George Schuster - Royal Oak MI, US
Suresh Nair - Amherst NH, US
Ray Delcher - Oxnard CA, US
Assignee:
Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc. - Mayfield Heights OH
International Classification:
H01J 40/14
US Classification:
2502221, 250221, 340556
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed that facilitate increasing a coverage area for an emitter-receiver pair in a light curtain by generating multiple light beams from a single emitter and aggregating the light beams at a corresponding receiver. A plurality of light beams can be generated by reflection off of a MEMS mirror associated with the emitter, which can then be reflected from receiver-side mirrors along generally parallel paths, to corresponding emitter-side mirrors, which in turn reflect the light beams back to a MEMS mirror associated with the receiver. The receiver-side MEMS mirror can aggregate the reflected light beams for detection thereof by the receiver. According to a related aspect, transmissive LCD arrays can be employed at both the emitter and receiver to generate and recombine a plurality of light beams, respectively.

G02F 1/1345
US Classification:
356399, 356121, 356138, 356432, 349139
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed that facilitate tolerating and/or correcting light beam misalignment in a light-emitting device, such as a light curtain. Attributes of the light beam can be assessed and compared to predetermined threshold values to evaluate whether the light beam is misaligned, and corrective feedback can be generated to adjust the position of one or more transmissive apertures generated on an LCD, through which light is permitted to pass, in order to re-align the light beam.
