Abstract: A hex wrench storage device includes a body having a first face and a second face opposite to the first face. The first face forms a plurality of receiving recesses having different width for receiving a plurality of hex wrenches having different sizes. The hex wrench storage device further includes a plurality of press devices mounted on the receiving recesses so that the hex wrenches are positioned in the receiving recesses without falling.

Abstract: A rotary spectrometer including a plurality of input ports. Each input port may be arranged to receive an optical waveguide carrying electromagnetic radiation. The spectrometer also includes a plurality of optical bandpass filters, which are housed on a first body that rotates under the control of a motor so that each optical bandpass filter may be brought into alignment with each input port. Further, the spectrometer includes a plurality of detector circuits disposed on a second body that rotates with the first body. Each detector circuit is optoelectrically coupled to one of the plurality of optical bandpass filters, thereby resulting in each detector circuit being dedicated to responding to a range of wavelengths determined by the bandpass filter to which it is optoelectrically coupled.

Abstract: A radiation modifying apparatus comprises a plurality of solid state radiation sources to generate radiation that modifies a first material such as by curing or creating alignment through polarization. The solid state radiation sources can be disposed in an array pattern. Optical concentrators, arranged in a corresponding array pattern, receive radiation from corresponding solid state radiation sources. The concentrated radiation is received by a plurality of optical waveguides, also arranged in a corresponding array pattern. Each optical waveguide includes a first end to receive the radiation and a second end to output the radiation. The radiation modifying apparatus can be utilized for continuous substrate, sheet, piece part, spot curing, and/or 3D radiation-cure processes.
