Patent number: 11816827Abstract: A system for visual inspection, which includes a processor that receives a sensitivity level relating to an image of an item on an inspection line, the image being displayed on the user interface device, and calculates a minimal defect size visible in the image at the received sensitivity level. The calculated minimal defect size is then displayed on a user interface. This visual demonstration of minimal detectable size, which changes as the user changes sensitivity level, enables the user to easily obtain a desired minimal detectable defect size.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: INSPEKTO A.M.V.

Publication number: 20220044379Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide automatic detection of same-type objects on an inspection line and automatically capture and/or display an image of the object once it is detected. Additionally, embodiments of the invention automatically provide the outline of an object to a user, enabling the user to either confirm or easily correct the outline.

Patent number: 11096272Abstract: An embodiment includes generating a sense signal that represents a first vibration of a platform, and reducing a level of the first vibration by generating, in response to the sense signal, a second vibration in the platform. For example, a sensor generates a sense signal representing a first vibration induced (e.g., a shock-induced vibration) in the platform. And a vibration-cancel circuit reduces or eliminates a level of the first vibration in response to the sense signal. For example, the vibration-cancel circuit reduces a magnitude of a first vibration induced in a platform, or eliminates the first vibration altogether, by generating, in the platform, a second vibration having a magnitude approximately equal to the magnitude of the first vibration and having a phase approximately opposite to the phase of the first vibration. That is, the second vibration cancels the first vibration to reduce the net vibration that the platform experiences.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2020Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventor: Alexander Spivak

For example, such a vibration-cancel circuit is configured to reduce a magnitude of a vibration induced in platform, or to eliminate the vibration altogether, by generating, in the platform, a counter vibration that has a magnitude approximately equal to the magnitude of the induced vibration and that has a phase approximately opposite to the phase of the induced vibration. That is, the counter vibration cancels the induced vibration to reduce the net vibration that the platform experiences.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventor: Alexander Spivak

Patent number: 8656778Abstract: A system for determining in-plane acceleration of an object. The system includes an in-plane accelerometer with a substrate rigidly attached to an object, and a proof mass—formed from a single piece of material—movably positioned a predetermined distance above the substrate. The proof mass includes a plurality of electrode protrusions extending downward from the proof mass to form a gap of varying height between the proof mass and the substrate. The proof mass is configured to move in a direction parallel to the upper surfaces of each of the plurality of substrate electrodes when the object is accelerating, which results in a change in the area of the gap, and a change in capacitance between the substrate and the proof mass. The in-plane accelerometer can be fabricated using the same techniques used to fabricate an out-of-plane accelerometer and is suitable for high-shock applications.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2010Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Rosemount Aerospace Inc.Inventors: Shuwen Guo, Alexander Spivak, Anita Fink

Patent number: 8659307Abstract: A sensor for monitoring external loads acting on a pin assembly includes a pin having an axial interior bore defined therein and having a length defined from a first end to an opposed second end thereof. A core pin is mounted axially within the interior bore of the pin spaced radially inwardly from the interior bore for relative displacement with respect to the pin. A capacitor is provided having an inner capacitor plate mounted to the core pin, and an outer capacitor plate mounted to the pin, such that relative displacement of the core and the pin due to external loading on the pin results in relative displacement of the inner and outer capacitor plates. The capacitor is configured and adapted to be connected to an electrical circuit to produce signals indicative of external loading on the pin based on relative displacement of the inner and outer capacitor plates.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2010Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Rosemount Aerospace Inc.Inventors: Harald Eriksen, Alexander Spivak, Christopher Sanden

Patent number: 7834514Abstract: The subject invention is related to wireless proximity sensor and sensing system for detecting the position of an object. The system includes a transceiver for providing wireless communication with a passive wireless surface acoustic wave (SAW) proximity sensor. The wireless proximity sensor receives a wireless signal from the transceiver, which powers the SAW device and in turn transmits a signal back to the transceiver that includes information about the position of an object. The wireless proximity sensor uses one or more SAW devices with a sensing element made of magnetostrictive material, in conjunction with one or more magnets and one or more targets that are positioned relative to an object. The movement of the target(s) in relation to the proximity sensor operatively produces a mechanical response due to the shift in the magnetic field of the sensing element.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2007Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Rosemount Aerospace Inc.Inventors: Alexander Spivak, Chuang-Chia Lin
