  • Machine vision systems incorporating polarized electromagnetic radiation emitters
    Patent number: 10067069
    Abstract: Machine vision systems are provided. More specifically, machine vision systems are provided that incorporate polarized illumination and detection. Polarized electromagnetic radiation may be used to reduce glare and enable increased flashing speed in machine vision detection systems. Ultra-high power light sources, heat tolerant polarizing media and optical-path systems may be coupled with ultra-high speed flashing systems to enable increased web-speed while maintaining necessary accuracy in web-scanning operations.

  • Spring clips for mounting optics structures on an associated circuit board, and assemblies including the spring clips
    Patent number: 9857554
    Abstract: Clips are provided to secure optic element systems to a printed circuit board. Associated mounting systems may, for example, eliminate direct adhesion of an optic element to an associated illumination source (e.g., LED). Thereby, thermal management of the system may be improved, adding flexibility in, for example, mounting height and tilt of an optic element. Thus, manufacturing cost, associated with mounting optic elements to L.E.D. arrays, may be reduced. Associated mounting systems may enable a direct electrical connection from a printed circuit to, for example, optical path control elements embedded within an optic element using, for example, various electro-optical control technologies.
