  • Patent number: 5059031
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for the optical inspection of at least partially transparent objects, such as bottles or flasks, arranged in line on a moving horizontal table conveyor. A light source is located on one side of the conveyor and a linear electronic camera on the other. The camera comprises a line of photodetectors extending in a first direction. A lens forms on the camera an image of a portion of the object being inspected, the image being oriented so that as the object moves, the image moves in the same direction as the first direction. The image is scanned rapidly and repeatedly in the first direction by electronically scanning the line of photodetectors. The image is scanned in a second direction, preferably perpendicular to the first direction by a pivoting mirror which varies the portion of the object that is imaged onto the photodetectors.

  • Patent number: 4962668
    Abstract: A sensor unit is disclosed for use in monitoring in situ changes in dynamic and static stress properties of any material to be monitored, such as monolithic concrete or underground rock structures. The sensor unit includes a hollow, waterproof tubular body to be inserted into a cylindrical borehole in the material to be monitored. A transducer is mounted within the body, which by means of strain gauges, provides an output signal responsive to deflection of the sidewall of the borehole. The transducer is coupled to the sidewall by means of pressure buttons. A monitor is also disclosed, which comprises the sensor unit, a data collection unit and a data analyzing unit. A method for sensing dynamic and static changes in material stresses is also disclosed.
