Abstract: Methods and scan systems for analyzing an object. The methods include obtaining a local operation dataset that includes a plurality of operation data points obtained from an object and a corresponding location, within the operation coordinate system, for each operation data point of the plurality of operation data points. The methods also include mapping the plurality of operation data points from the operation coordinate system to a global coordinate system for the object. The mapping includes mapping to generate a global operation dataset that includes the plurality of operation data points and a corresponding global location, within the global coordinate system, for each operation data point. The scan systems include a robot that performs a plurality of operations on an object within an operation coordinate system and a computing device that maps the plurality of operation data points from the operation coordinate system to a global coordinate system.

Abstract: A rod-shaped measuring electrode (6, 7) for a magnetic-inductive flow meter includes an end face (15) provided at one end of the rod for contact with a measuring medium and includes a plurality of layers (17) made alternately of a ceramic coating (18) and a metal coating (19) extending in the longitudinal direction of the rod over the length thereof.

Abstract: The present specification discloses an X-ray security inspection machine that has a machine housing defining an X-ray tunnel for receiving an article to be inspected, a conveyor belt for conveying the article, two rollers for receiving and moving the conveyor belt, and a conveyor belt tracking device positioned along the path between the two rollers. The conveyor belt tracking device has a mounting bracket for mounting the conveyor belt tracking device to the inspection machine and a guide frame with an upper portion and a lower portion, where the upper portion and lower portion are spaced apart from each other and the conveyor belt passes through the space between the upper portion and lower portion.

Abstract: The present invention describes a dispenser of protective covers for the sole of a shoe. The sole covers are disposed on a sheet that is placed within the dispenser. The dispenser comprises a series of roller supports that are adapted to position the sheet of solve covers onto an exposed platform. A user steps the exposed platform in order to apply the cover to the user's footwear and remove the sole cover from the sheet. The top of the sole cover includes an adhesive that enables the cover to adhere to the sole of the user's shoe, thereby enabling a user to walk around the house while reducing the likelihood that the user would spread dirt therein.

Abstract: A horn antenna for a radar device including a dielectric filling body arranged in a hollow horn section of a metal body and a dielectric cover attached to the filling body and sealingly closing the open end of the metal body. The filling body includes a first conical portion that is fittingly received in the hollow horn section, and a second conical portion that is situated away from the open end and dimensioned to leave a gap between itself and the wall of the hollow horn section. The dielectric filling body has a third portion between the first and second portions, where the third portion and the opposite portion of the wall of the hollow horn section are provided with circumferential grooves arranged in pairs opposite each other to provide a wear and maintenance-free attachment of the dielectric filling body in the horn antenna.

Abstract: X-ray security inspection machine (10) comprising an X-ray tunnel (40); a conveyor means (50) for conveying an article through the tunnel; an X-ray source for irradiating the article; and an X-ray detection means for detecting X-rays transmitted through the article. In one aspect, the detection means comprises a photodetector array module (20) actuatable between a first stowed configuration and a second deployed configuration. In a second aspect, the detection means comprises a first unit having a first photodetector array (22); and a second unit, having a second photodetector array (24), offset with respect to the first unit. The units are moveable relative to one another between a first arrangement where the arrays overlap to a first degree and a second arrangement where they overlap to a second, lower degree; preferably zero. Also, a conveyor belt-tracking device (100) comprising a guide frame (104) to receive the conveyor belt (116) and substantially to restrict its motion to a predetermined direction.

Abstract: A horn antenna suitable for use with a level measurement device and having a composite emitter structure. The emitter structure or assembly comprises an emitter and a plug. The emitter provides the process interface and is formed from a material having properties which include microwave transparency, chemical resistance and/or mechanical strength. The plug is isolated or partitioned from the process interface. The plug is formed from a material different from the emitter and exhibits the properties of microwave transparency and/or mechanical strength. According to another aspect, the level measurement device includes a coupling mechanism which allows the removal of the horn antenna independently of the emitter.
