Abstract:
An example method includes comparing, via circuitry, a first signal indicative of a first amount of light received by a first light sensor to a second signal indicative of a second amount of light received by a second light sensor, wherein the second light sensor is to compensate for an environmental change by detecting the second amount of light transmitted by a light source regardless of a presence or absence of an object in the conveyance path; determine, via the circuitry, whether a reflection loss is present based on the comparing of the first and second signals; and if the circuitry detects the reflection loss based on the comparing of the first and second signals, generating a presence indication.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for an apparatus including a first light sensor positioned on a first side of a conveyance path, a light source positioned on a second side of the conveyance path, and a second light sensor positioned on the second side of the conveyance path, the method comprising:\n comparing, via circuitry, a first signal indicative of a first amount of light received by the first light sensor to a second signal indicative of a second amount of light received by the second light sensor, wherein the second light sensor is to compensate for an environmental change by detecting the second amount of light transmitted by the light source regardless of a presence or absence of an object in the conveyance path; determine, via the circuitry, whether a reflection loss is present based on the comparing of the first and second signals; and if the circuitry detects the reflection loss based on the comparing of the first and second signals, generating a presence indication.
