ABSTRACT:
A sensing apparatus is disclosed for detecting reflective materials in a non-invasive and non-contact manner. The sensing apparatus includes a housing, sensing means disposed within the housing. Circuitry is provided for interpreting the information collected by the sensors. A power supply is coupled to the sensors and the circuitry with cables. The sensing means consist of an infrared LED and a detective diode. The infrared LED and the detective diode are disposed in a disk which is positioned at the proximal end of the hollow tube. The distal end of the hollow tube is appropriately sealed using a sealing cap. The sensing apparatus is also capable of determining the distance from the sensing means to the reflective surface in question.
