Abstract
A turbidity sensor featuring a signal processor or processing module configured to: receive signaling containing information about light reflected off suspended matter in a liquid and sensed by a linear sensor array having rows and columns of optical elements; and determine corresponding signaling containing information about a concentration of turbidity of the liquid, based upon the signaling received
Claims24
Apparatus comprising:
- a signal processor or processing module configured to:
- receive signaling containing information about light reflected off suspended matter in a liquid and sensed by a linear sensor array having rows and columns of optical elements;
- and
- determine corresponding signaling containing information about a concentration of a parameter of the liquid, based upon the signaling received

A method comprising:
- receiving, with a signal processor or processing module, signaling containing information about light reflected off suspended matter in a liquid and sensed by a linear sensor array having rows and columns of optical elements;
- and
- determining, with the signal processor or processing module, corresponding signaling containing information about a concentration of a parameter of the liquid, based upon the signaling received
A turbidity sensor comprising:
- a quasi-collimated light source having a length and being configured to provide quasi-collimated light to a liquid sample;
- a linear sensor array having rows and columns of optical elements and configured to sense light reflected off suspended matter in the liquid sample along the length of the collimated light source and provide signaling containing information about the light reflected off the suspended matter;
- and
- a signal processor or processing module configured to:
- receive the signaling;
- and
- determine corresponding signaling containing information about a concentration of turbidity of the liquid, based upon the signaling received
