Abstract: The present invention provides an LED tube (200a) for retrofitting into a fluorescent tube lighting fixture. The LED tube (200a) comprises at least one light emitting diode (201) and a longitudinal light guide (203) with two opposite ends. The at least one light emitting diode (201) is located at at least one of the opposite ends of the longitudinal light guide (203) and is arranged to inject light thereto. The longitudinal light guide (203) has a refractive pattern (206) formed on a longitudinal surface thereof, which pattern (206) is arranged to out-couple light from within the light guide (203). During operation, light emitted by the light emitting diode (201) travels within the light guide (203) by total internal reflection, before being out-coupled from the light guide by the refractive pattern (206). Since the light emitting diode is not directly visible through the light guide, there is no risk that during operation, the light emitting diode will be a source of glare, or be able to cast sharp shadows. This allows the plurality of light emitting diodes within a conventional retrofittable LED tube to be replaced with a smaller number of individually brighter light emitting diodes, which can together provide the same illuminance as such a conventional retrofittable LED tube, but at a reduced cost of production and with increased reliability, due to the presence of fewer components. Moreover, the refractive pattern (206) on the light guide can be altered to suit different applications and to provide different patterns of illumination, as required. The invention also provides a luminaire comprising such a new type of retrofittable LED tube, as well as a backlight unit for a display, wherein the backlight unit comprises such a new type of retrofittable LED tube. In addition, the invention provides a method of manufacturing such a new type of retrofittable LED tube which comprises moulding the light guide from a polycarbonate, or acrylate polymer, such as poly(methyl methacrylate). Finally, the invention also provides a method of reducing electrical power consumption by retrofitting a pre-installed fluorescent tube lighting fixture with such a new type of retrofittable LED tube.

Abstract: A gas sensor is used for determining a concentration of a predetermined gas in a measurement volume (104). The gas sensor comprises a light source (100) and a detector (114) arranged to receive light that has passed through the measurement volume. During a first measurement period, the detector (114) is used to make a first measurement of an amount of light received in at least one wavelength band which is absorbed by the gas. The first measurement is compared to a predetermined threshold value. If the threshold is crossed, during a second measurement period the detector (114) is used to make a second measurement of an amount of light received in at least one wavelength band which is absorbed by the gas. The concentration of said gas in said measurement volume (104) is calculated using the first and/or second measurement.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) including a workpiece scanning probe. The method provides two different measurement sampling period durations in the scanning probe: a first shorter sampling duration provides a faster measurement having a first accuracy, a second longer sampling duration provides a slower measurement having a second (better) accuracy. The shorter sampling duration may be repeatedly interleaved or alternated with the longer sampling duration to provide sufficient accuracy and response time for motion control purposes during ongoing operation of the CMM. The longer sampling duration may provide high accuracy probe measurements to combine with position coordinate values from encoders located on motion axes of the CMM (outside the scanning probe) to provide high accuracy workpiece measurements at a desired frequency, or upon demand. A probe measurement timing subsystem may determine initiation times of the first and second sampling durations.
