| 20090113830 | Composite garage doors and processes for making such doors - Metal doors may be more cost-efficient than wood to manufacture and maintain, but may not be as aesthetically pleasing to the consumer. For example, metal garage doors may only be available in limited color lines and often do not simulate a natural wood grain in a very realistic manner. Also, metal garage doors may be limited in design, in that it may be difficult to add three dimensional shaping, such as trim or paneling, to the outer surface of a metal door. For example, some manufacturers apply extrusive plastic panels to the face of a metal garage door to add a design to the face of the door. The plastic and metal components, however, may exhibit different physical properties in response to changes in temperature and humidity and thus, the door may exhibit warping or other types of deformation upon exposure to weather. | 05-07-2009 |

In other words, the areas if the photodetectors may be configured to equalize the color signal of a reference color and thereby maximize the signal-to-noise ratio of the color signals the sensor is intended to measure. The area of the photodetector may be based on a response curve of the photodetector as a function of wavelength, a response curve of the filter as a function of wavelength, and the amount of light as a function of wavelength generated by the light source, among other factors. | 12-23-2010 |
