Abstract: A station for inspecting the painting of motor vehicle bodywork parts, the station including an optical measuring apparatus and means for attenuating vibration of the moving parts.

Abstract: A system for actively aligning an optoelectronic device including a frame, a mounting and alignment assembly, and a camera. The mounting and alignment assembly can be movably connected to the frame and is configured to mount separate portions of an optoelectronic device such that the portions can be moved in relation to each other. An optical signal from a laser in the first portion is transmitted through an optical element in the second portion and captured by the camera to determine the positioning of the first and second portions of the optoelectronic device. The portions can then be aligned accordingly.

Abstract: A non-contact surface measurement system, method and apparatus provides data to computers so that the topography of the surface of an object can be digitally recreated. 3-D images that define tool paths can be created from the data. Thus, cavities may be formed in selected materials by a tool. The appropriately selected materials safely encapsulate the object, which may be an artifact, art object, or other fragile or valuable item for moving or storage.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring oil oxidation is capable of being mounted to mechanical devices for detecting power of fluorescent light reflected from oil in real time as an indication of the oil oxidation. A plurality of first optical fibers are connected to a light-emitting member for introducing the light into oil at different incidence points. A plurality of light-reflecting mirrors are immersed in the oil and disposed opposite to the incidence points. The light-reflecting mirrors are located at different distances from the incidence points. A plurality of second optical fibers are connected to the incidence points, respectively. A plurality of light-receiving members are connected to the second optical fibers for receiving the light and outputting the signals corresponding to the received light.
