  • Patent number: 10808440
    Abstract: A safe and user-friendly door, especially for logistics containers, which preferably includes a quadrilateral frame, defining the perimeter for the door. A latch is provided movably to the frame so as to be manipulated between a locking state, in which at least a distal portion of the latch protrudes outside the perimeter, and a released state, in which the distal portion is flush with or inside the perimeter. The frame also preferably includes a diagonal guide, which is configured to guide the latch between the locking state and the released state by allowing deviation of the latch along a path diagonal to the quadrilateral shape of the frame.

  • Patent number: 7733503
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for measuring articles made of a material that is difficult to measure, such as glass. In the system, an elastic film (19) is arranged on top of an article (110). A number of measurement points have been arranged on the film that are imaged using a machine vision system. The location of the measurement points imaged are calculated with respect to one another, and based on this, the shape of the article can be measured.
