Patent Number Title Of Patent Date Issued
4826286 Filter with three-band transmission for good seeing May 2, 1989
Filter system operates to provide reasonable seeability for human visual system while simultaneously limiting the total radiation energy impinging upon the eye. System comprises a transparent substrate which carries a plurality of thin layers having indices of refraction which alternatel
4824246 Colored object which exhibits improved constancy of color appearance upon change of illuminants April 25, 1989
Colored object which is to be illuminated by many different types of sources of illumination and which exhibits an improved constancy of color appearance upon change of illuminants. The radiation-absorbing exterior portion of the object has color-absorbing components which combine to
4653925 Method and apparatus for measuring any of a large number of characteristics of lamplight March 31, 1987
Method and apparatus for rapidly measuring any of a large number of characteristics of lamplight. Apparatus extracts from the illumination being measured seven narrow visible bands and one wider band of ultraviolet. The measured power in each of the visible bands is multiplied by a w
4360758 High-intensity-discharge lamp of the mercury-metal halide type which efficiently illuminates obj November 23, 1982
High-intensity-discharge lamp of the mercury-metal halide type efficiently illuminates objects with excellent color appearance. The arc tube filling comprises the usual inert, ionizable starting gas and mercury in predetermined amount as required to provide a predetermined operating
4341978 High-intensity-discharge lamp with improved color rendition of illuminated objects July 27, 1982
High-intensity-discharge lamp is fabricated in a fashion generally similar to a standard high-pressure-mercury lamp which has a red-emitting phosphor coated on the outer envelope. In the present lamp, the discharge-sustaining filling in the arc tube is modified to include a small, pr
4334782 Method and apparatus for expressing relative brightness of artificial illumination as perceived June 15, 1982
Method and apparatus for expressing as a number the relative brightness of artificial illumination as it is perceived by the average observer. There is extracted (i.e., detected) from the illumination to be measured, a blue-appearing narrow band, a green-appearing narrow band, a yell
4176299 Method for efficiently generating white light with good color rendition of illuminated objects November 27, 1979
Method and device for efficiently generating white light with good color rendition of illuminated objects. This is achieved by blending three different colors of light, namely, a green to yellow-green color of light, an orange to red color of light, and a purplish-blue to greenish-blue
4176294 Method and device for efficiently generating white light with good rendition of illuminated obje November 27, 1979
Method and device for efficiently generating white light with good color rendition of illuminated objects. This is achieved by blending three different colors of light, namely, a green to yellow-green color of light, an orange to red color of light, and a purplish-blue to greenish-blue
3963953 Color mismatch accentuating device June 15, 1976
A device to generate light of a quality which will accent the mismatch in color appearance of objects having different spectral reflectance curves but which appear at least generally similar in color and lightness under illumination by daylight. As there are many objects which match unde
