Abstract: An apparatus for removing a portion of a coating system present in a multi-glazed window including: a decoating component to focus a laser source at a focus distance; two motors to move the decoating component along the X and Y axis; one optical system to detect on which interface the coating system is localized, and to estimate a distance between the decoating component and the detected interface; a third motor to control the position of the decoating component along a Z axis; and a displacement control unit of the third motor to displace the decoating component of a displacement distance equal to the difference between the estimated distance and said the distance in order to focus the decoating component on the detected interface.

Abstract: A float current probe measuring a float current flowing in a conductor comprises a core adapted to be magnetically coupled to the conductor. Excitation and field cancellation windings are magnetically coupled to the core. A detector detects when energy in the excitation winding reaches a predetermined threshold corresponding to a saturated core condition. A timer measures first and second delays needed to saturate the core as a result of the excitation winding being energized through a switch circuit in the forward and reverse polarity successively. A computing unit determines a magnetic field induced by the conductor based on the first and second measured delays. The field cancellation winding is energized by a current source with a current level and direction as a function of the computed magnetic field, to cancel the magnetic field induced by the conductor. The current level is representative of the float current in the conductor.
