  • Patent number: 8502967
    Abstract: An apparatus for optical inspection comprises a platform extending in a first direction, a transmitting unit for transporting at least one carrier in the first direction from an input port to an output port thereof, each of the at least one carrier to support one of at least one object to be inspected, a first detector disposed above the platform and extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction for inspecting the at least one object on the at least one carrier, the first detector including a first scanner extending in the second direction between the input port and the output port, and a first roller set between the first scanner and the input port to apply force onto a surface of each of the at least one object.

  • Patent number: 8432540
    Abstract: A support mechanism includes a first work frame to provide a first scanning area for a first scanner, a first frame to support a first panel, the first frame pivotably coupled to a first end of the first work frame so that the first frame is rotatable about the first end of the first work frame between a folded position that the first frame is folded toward the first scanning area and an unfolded position that the first frame is away from the first scanning area, and a second frame to support a second panel, the second frame pivotably coupled to a second end of the first work frame so that the second frame is rotatable about the second end of the first work frame between a folded position that the second frame is folded toward the first scanning area and an unfolded position that the second frame is away from the first scanning area, wherein the first scanning area allows the first scanner to scan across one of the first and second frames when the one of the first and second frames is at the folded position w

  • Patent number: 8428334
    Abstract: A system for inspecting a product that includes a scanner to scan across the product and generate an image of the product, the image including a matrix of pixels each having a grayscale value, and an analyzing device electrically coupled with the scanner to receive and analyze the image of the product, the analyzing device including a microprocessor to calculate a reference grayscale value associated with each of the pixels in the image, wherein the reference grayscale value includes an average of the grayscale values of pixels located adjacent to the each pixel, a memory to store the reference grayscale value associated with each of the pixels and at least one threshold associated with the reference grayscale value, and a comparing module to compare the grayscale value of each of the pixels in the image with the at least one threshold associated with the each pixel.

  • Patent number: 4150106
    Abstract: This toothpaste contains reagents for controlling the tooth brushing time by the change in color occurring after a predetermined brushing time. It contains essentially a citrate/citric acid buffer having a molarity of 0.07 to 0.35 M and a pH of 4 to 5.5 in the proportion of 10 to 50%, and chlorophenol red in the proportion of 0.02 to 0.1%.
