US12644765 - Laser assessment instrument

An instrument measurement package is provided for assessing response effect from laser illumination onto a target. The package includes a photodiode, a circuit board, an illumination indicator, an enclosure and a battery. The photodiode measures the laser illumination as an incidence signal. The circuit board accommodates a power relay, a microprocessor, a clock and a flash memory card for recording the incidence signal. The illumination indicator displays a result from the incidence signal by activation. The enclosure contains the circuit board and mounts the photodiode. The battery supplies direct current voltage to the circuit board via the power relay.

The patent describes a measurement package designed to assess the effects of laser illumination on a target, incorporating a photodiode, circuit board, and illumination indicator. This instrument records and displays response data, such as dwell time and continuity, using a microprocessor and flash memory within a protective enclosure.

Claim 1

1 . An instrument measurement package for assessing response effect from laser illumination onto a target, said package comprising: a photodiode for measuring the laser illumination as an incidence signal; a circuit board that accommodates a power relay, a microprocessor, a clock and a flash memory card for recording said incidence signal; an illumination indicator for displaying response from said incidence signal by activation, wherein said response denotes one of dwell time measurement and broken continuity from the laser illumination; an enclosure for containing said circuit board and mounting said photodiode; and a battery for supplying direct current voltage to said circuit board via said power relay. a photodiode for measuring the laser illumination as an incidence signal; a circuit board that accommodates a power relay, a microprocessor, a clock and a flash memory card for recording said incidence signal; an illumination indicator for displaying response from said incidence signal by activation, wherein said response denotes one of dwell time measurement and broken continuity from the laser illumination; an enclosure for containing said circuit board and mounting said photodiode; and a battery for supplying direct current voltage to said circuit board via said power relay.
