Optoelectronic tilt detector having tapered floors extending in same direction
TL;DR: In this paper, an optoelectronic tilt detector having a cavity (17) is provided, where an opaque sphere (14) moves within the container (17), in accordance with the tilt of the cavity, to uncover either the first passage (23) or the second passage (24).
Patent
Method of coupling an electrical signal to an optical fiber
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a method of coupling an electrical signal to an optical fiber (14) by encapsulating an electrical connector (21), an optical semiconductor device (18,36), and a fiber optic cable (14), all in one body (23,38,41,42).

David L. Vowles,Clem H. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an elongated stem (14) has a first end connected to the sensor body (12), and a connector (24, 26) is disposed on a second end of the stem, for fixedly mounting the stem to a mounting base (40), which is connected to, for example, a fuel tank.
Patent
Apparatus employing reflective optical means
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved vehicle height sensor and automotive leveling system are described using, in a preferred embodiment, two optical emitter-receiver pairs mounted in the sidewall or dust cover of a standard automotive air shock.
Patent
