Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A compact infrared intrusion sensor comprising: an enclosure having an opening for receiving infrared radiation; a lens including a plurality of lens segments arranged in said opening for focusing infrared radiation; a single plane reflector arranged in said enclosure opposite said opening and substantially parallel to said lens for reflecting infrared radiation received through said opening; and an infrared detector arranged between said lens and said reflector and facing said reflector, the spacing of said lens and said detector from said reflector being selected to cause said lens to focus infrared radiation onto said detector, said reflector having dimensions selected to provide a reflected optical path between the periphery of said lens and said infrared detector.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
A compact infrared intrusion sensor comprising: an enclosure having an opening for receiving infrared radiation; a lens including a plurality of lens segments arranged in said opening for focusing infrared radiation; a single plane reflector arranged in said enclosure opposite said opening and substantially parallel to said lens for reflecting infrared radiation received through said opening; and an infrared detector arranged between said lens and said reflector and facing said reflector, the spacing of said lens and said detector from said reflector being selected to cause said lens to focus infrared radiation onto said detector, said reflector having dimensions selected to provide a reflected optical path between the periphery of said lens and said infrared detector.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A sensor as specified in claim 1 further including electronic circuit components, said components being arranged in said enclosure outside the optical path between said detector and said lens via said reflector.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A sensor as specified in claim 2 further including a printed circuit board, wherein said board has a central area with a plane metallic surface comprising said reflector and wherein said components are mounted on peripheral areas of said board.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
A sensor as specified in claim 1 wherein said reflector comprises a wall of said enclosure.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
53 words
A sensor as specified in claim 4 wherein there is provided a circuit board in said enclosure, mounted between said reflector wall and said lens, and wherein said circuit board has an aperture in the region of said board corresponding to the optical path between said detector and said lens via said reflector.
