Abstract: A technique for automated online inspection of manufacture of a fibre reinforced polymer composite part during automated ribbon placement (e.g. ATL or AFP) uses interferometric inspection (e.g. OCT) to detect deviations from a planned lay-up for the part, to identify defects. On line, real-time inspection (i.e. on-the-fly) is demonstrated, and edge type defects and whole surface defects are identifiable. A sensor is demonstrated that does not extend a working envelope of the robotic head used for rib bon placement.

Abstract: An electronic device, a display control system, and a method for controlling operation of a display unit of an electronic device. The method includes generating a display signal by a display controller. The display signal is interpreted by the display unit to display a content of the display signal on a display panel of the display unit. The content of the display signal is compared to a known data pattern. The display unit is operated in accordance to an operating parameter corresponding to the known data pattern if the known data pattern is detected in the display signal.

Abstract: A unified process management system for creating and executing processes from a remote computer, the system comprising a central server having an associated process database, a process builder and a process player tools located on the remote computer. The process builder tool the process builder tool is configured so as to allow a user to create or edit a process by linking smart icons having associated functionalities using directional links and storing the created process in the process database of the central server. The process player tool is configured so as to allow a user to execute a process selected process from a list of available processes in the database.

Abstract: A system can search for data streams. A processor searches for a data stream device or provider on a network. It is determined if the data stream device or provider includes a stored stream index. The stream index is accessed as a reference stream index if the stream index is discovered. Data streams are searched for using the reference stream index.

Abstract: A scanning optical delay line includes an optical path element that rotates about its central axis, such that a face is intermittently incident a beam of light to be optically delayed. When the beam is not incident the face, it is reflected onto a reinsertion line which provides a second opportunity for the beam to intersect the optical path element. The optical path element may include one or more parallelogram prisms, or parallel reflective surfaces to provide a substantially linear optical path length variation during the scan, which is produced by the rotation of the optical path element. A highly linear part of the rotation can be maximally used providing a high duty cycle, high linearity scanning optical delay line that permits high quality, high data rate applications.
