  • Patent number: 10330915
    Abstract: Borehole inspection device for inspecting a borehole in a workpiece has a measuring head which includes an endoscope and is insertable into the borehole to be inspected and movable relative to the borehole in different axial positions. Borehole inspection device has an imaging optics with a panoramic view for imaging the inner surface of the borehole, and the imaging optics is in image transmission connection with a digital image recorder. Device has a memory for storing the images recorded in different axial positions of the measuring head, and an evaluation apparatus for evaluating the images stored in the memory. In order to obtain surface depth information about the inner surface of the borehole, the evaluation apparatus is configured for evaluating images recorded at different viewing angles of the imaging optics with regard to the particular surface location, using a 3D reconstruction method.

  • Patent number: 9983149
    Abstract: A testing device for testing an inner surface of a rotationally symmetrical cavity in a workpiece has a measuring head which defines an axial direction, and on which an optical system is situated. The optical system is in image transmission connection with an image recorder and a downstream evaluation apparatus. The testing device also has an illumination arrangement for illuminating an imaging area of the inner surface which is detected by the optical system. The illumination arrangement is designed and configured for illuminating the inner surface which is detected by the optical system. The illumination arrangement can illuminate the inner surface to be tested from different illumination directions in order to generate shadow images of the topography of the inner surface. The evaluation apparatus is designed and configured for determining the topography based on the shadow images recorded by the image recorder.

  • Patent number: 9934324
    Abstract: A system, computer-implemented method, and computer-readable storage medium for generating a block-based index, are provided. A block index is generated where the block index comprises a plurality of blocks and a block corresponds to a section of a graph column that stores a value. A block range vector is also generated for the index where the block range vector includes range information for the block that corresponds to the section of the graph and where the block-based index facilitates traversal of the graph column that searches for the value by constraining the traversal to the section of the graph.

  • Patent number: 9691210
    Abstract: A coin processing device (10) and a method for classifying coins are provided. The coin processing device (10) includes at least one computerized controller (9) having a storage unit (36), and at least one coin channel (34) for guiding a coin (35). The at least one coin channel (34) includes at least one sensor (37) suitable for measuring a passage time of the coin (35). An accelerating device (43) is connected to the computerized controller (9) and is designed to accelerate the coin (35) in a reproducible manner. A target speed value for a specified coin (35) is stored in the storage unit (36). An actual speed value is calculated based on the transport time detected by the sensor (37). A coin class of the coin (35) is ascertained by the computerized controller (9) from the comparison of the target speed value and the actual speed value.

  • Patent number: 9567056
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are disclosed for controlling the flow of a fluid over the window of an optical instrument housing in a freestream flow field. For example, the flow upstream of the housing may be split to create a flow region over the window that is conducive to successful operation of the instrument. The flow region may be maintained for various rotations of the housing about yaw, pitch, and roll axes. The disclosed features in some embodiments induce flow regions with reduced spatial and temporal density gradients of the flow over the window.
