LIGHT SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019303 titled 'LIGHT SENSOR
Simplified Explanation
The apparatus described in the patent application is designed to be used with a surface and consists of a light source, a body, and a light production apparatus. The light source generates light using multiple elements. The body has a flat base that is placed on the surface, with the base perpendicular to the receiving axis. It also includes a sampling aperture that allows the receiving axis to pass through it. The body encompasses the light source and is designed to shield the sensor from ambient light when the sampling aperture is blocked. The light production apparatus converts the light from the elements through internal reflection, absorption, and filtration, into collimated light that impinges upon the base at a predetermined angle to the receiving axis.

Original Abstract Submitted
the apparatus is for use with a surface and includes a light source, a body and a light production apparatus. the light source includes a plurality of elements for generating light. the body: has a planar base for placement in use on the surface, the base being orientated perpendicular to the receiving axis; defines a sampling aperture communicating with the base and through which the receiving axis passes; encompasses the elements; and is adapted, in combination with the light source and when the sampling aperture is blocked to ambient light, to shield the sensor from ambient light. the light production apparatus is for converting the light of the elements through internal reflection, absorption and filtration into light collimated to impinge upon the base, at the intersection of the base and the receiving axis, at a predetermined angle to the receiving axis.
