Abstract:
A covered chamberless particulate detector includes a chamberless detector configured to produce a signal when particulate sensing events occur; one or more optical emitters disposed on the chamberless detector, configured to emit one or more emitting cones of light; one or more optical sensors disposed on the chamberless detector, defining one or more receiving cones; and a protective cover on the chamberless detector defining an inside region and an outside region. Each of the one or more optical sensors is configured to detect occurrence of particulate sensing events. The protective cover includes a material having one or more optical properties of transmission, reflection, and absorption; and at least of these optical properties has a bandwidth.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of using a covered chamberless particulate detector that comprises one or more optical emitters, one or more optical sensors, and an optically enhanced protective cover over the optical emitters and the optical sensors that defines an inside region and an outside region, the method comprising:\n emitting one or more emitting cones of light from the one or more optical emitters; receiving light in one or more receiving cones by the one or more optical sensors; creating one or more sensing volumes within the spatial overlap between the one or more emitting cones and the one or more receiving cones; and detecting particulate sensing events, and producing a signal denoting occurrence of the particulate sensing events, based on presence of particulate material in the one or more sensing volumes; wherein:\n each of the one or more optical sensors is configured to detect occurrence of particulate sensing events; \n the protective cover comprises at least one material configured to reflect or absorb first selected bandwidths of wavelengths of light that include wavelengths of ambient light.
