Arrangement for and method of detecting an object in an area subject to environmental variations |
April 16, 1996 |
| Environmental variations in ambient light and temperature are eliminated in arrangements for and methods of detecting objects in areas exposed to such variations by generating a differential measurement value indicative of the difference between two signals derived from two light sources |

Musical sound effects controller having a radiated emission space |
December 12, 1995 |
| Movement of a musical instrument in space is employed to modulate its sound output. An electro-optical controller is used to detect the elevation of the instrument relative to the floor and, in turn, a control signal for modulating the sound output is generated. |

Wide dynamic range optical receiver |
December 5, 1995 |
| Ambient light and temperature fluctuations are suppressed in an optical receiver system by feeding the output of a photodiode directly to one input of a differential amplifier and, via a low pass filter, to another input of the amplifier. Reductions in amplitude in an optical information |
