Abstract:
Disclosed is a first transmitter that transmits a first optical signal towards a target, a plurality of receivers that receive the first optical signal after the first optical signal is reflected by the target and each provides a respective received optical signal, at least one photodetector that receives the received optical signals and provides at least a first electrical signal, and a processor that receives the first electrical signal to compute a position of the target relative to a baseline position based on: a first position of a first receiver of the plurality of receivers, a second position of a second receiver of the plurality of receivers, the first electrical signal. The processor computes a clearance between the target and a component based on a third position of a third receiver, a fourth position of a fourth receiver and a second electrical signal.

Claim (Index 9):
A method comprising:\n obtaining a first position of a first receiver of a plurality of receivers and a second position of a second receiver of the plurality of receivers; transmitting, by a first transmitter, a first optical signal towards a target that includes a knife edge of a turbine blade of a turbomachine; transmitting, by a second transmitter, a second optical signal towards the target; capturing, by the plurality of receivers, the first optical signal after the first optical signal is reflected by the target; capturing, by the plurality of receivers, the second optical signal after the second optical signal is reflected by the target; computing, by a processor, a third position of the target relative to a baseline position based on:\n the captured first optical signal as provided by the plurality of receivers, \n the first position, and \n the second position; and \n computing, by the processor, a fourth position of the target relative to the baseline position based on:\n the captured second optical signal as provided by the plurality of receivers, \n the first position, and \n the second position.
