DEFINITION

Classification: 356/141.1

With photodetection of reflected beam angle with respect to a unidirectional source beam:

(under subclass 140) Subject matter including a source beam directed along one axis to an object from which the beam's reflected angular direction with respect to its projected direction is measured and where the apex of the measured angle is at the detecting station.

3.01+, for angle determination during the triangulation of an object's distance.

139.01+, for techniques that may be used in star or sun angle measurements.

139.09, for techniques that may be used in wheel alignment with photodetection.

152.2+, for instances where the apex of the desired angle being measured is not at the detecting station, even though the detecting station apex angle may be involved in some way in the determination.

399+, for lateral alignment of a beam that does not follow an angular path to the detecting station. SEE OR SEARCH CLASS
