Abstract: Un agencement de photodétecteurs produit un signal électrique sensible à la position d'une source de lumière en utilisant un masque (15) situé à une hauteur prédéterminée au-dessus d'une pluralité de photodétecteurs (D1,1), (D1,2), (D2,1), (D2,2), de telle façon que, à mesure que le soleil se déplace par rapport à l'appareil, une ombre, sensible à la position du soleil, est projetée. Un appareil, fabriqué conformément à l'invention, comporte une pluralité de photodétecteurs, chacun présentant une surface respective pratiquement plane photosensible permettant de recevoir la lumière du soleil sur un éventail de positions prédéterminé. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré où l'on recherche la compacité, les surfaces planes photosensibles sont disposées de manière sensiblement coplanaire les unes par rapport aux autres. Le masque à lumière possédant des sections opaques (16) et transparentes (17) est disposé de façon à recouvrir les surfaces pratiquement planes photosensibles afin de déterminer la caractéristique de sensibilité à la position de l'appareil. Dans certains modes de réalisation, un diffuseur est interposé entre le masque à lumière et les photodétecteurs. Les caractéristiques de réponse de l'appareil peut être déterminée par analyse géométrique, ou de manière empirique en utilisant des valeurs qui peuvent être conservées dans une table à consulter.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de mesure pour obtenir une instruction de commutation d'un commutateur rapide. Dans ce procédé, une variation soudaine de la tension dans un système consommateur est détectée, et une différence de tension est formée au moyen de la tension d'une source d'énergie à raccorder et de la tension aux bornes du système consommateur, et l'instruction de commutation pour un sectionneur de puissance est émise compte tenu du temps de manoeuvre de ce dernier si, au moment de la commutation, une différence de tension d'une valeur inférieure à un maximum admissible est préalablement calculée. Pour permettre l'exécution la plus rapide et la plus précise possible d'un tel procédé de mesure, les valeurs maximales (U1max), U2max), les fréquences (f1, f2) et les relations des phases (PHI1,PHI2) des tensions (U1, U2) dans la première et la deuxième source d'énergie (E1, E2) sont déterminées lors de la coupure du système consommateur. Après débranchement du système consommateur (V), la variation temporelle (alpha) de la fréquence (f3) et la variation temporelle de la valeur de la tension (U3) aux bornes du système consommateur (V) sont déterminées. Ces valeurs servent ensuite à calculer le moment de la commutation.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for automatically reading bar code symbols is disclosed. One aspect of the present invention concerns a method of reading bar code symbols using an automatic hand-holdable bar code symbol reading device. In general, the automatic bar code symbol reading device comprises a hand-holdable housing containing operative elements which provide an object detection field and a scan field each defined external to the housing. The method involves automatically detecting the presence of an object within the object detection field by sensing energy reflected off the object. In a preferred embodiment, the energy reflected off the object is IR radiation produced from an object sensing energy source disposed within the housing. In automatic response to the detection of the object within the object detection field, the hand-holdable device detects the presence of a bar code aligned by the user within the scan field using a laser beam produced within the housing. Then, in automatic response to the detection of a bar code in the scan field, the automatic hand-holdable bar code symbol reading device reads the detected bar code in the scan field by producing scan data signals from the detected bar code and thereafter collecting and analyzing the same. Another aspect of the present invention concerns a hand-holdable data collection device adapted for use with the automatic bar code symbol reading device to form a portable symbol reading system which is versatile and simple to use. <IMAGE>
