  • Patent number: 12078472
    Abstract: An interferometric displacement measurement system and method based on phase modulation of polarized light of micro probe are provided. An electro-optic phase modulator is used to perform sinusoidal phase modulation on a light beam emitted by a semiconductor laser to obtain an adjusted light beam. The adjusted light beam is divided by a polarization beam splitter to generate a reference light beam and a measurement light beam. The two light beams are respectively reflected by a built-in reflection surface of a micro probe and a target mirror, and transmitted to a polarization-maintaining fiber circulator. The reference light beam interferes with the measurement light beam at a fiber optic polarization element to generate an interference light signal. A photodetector converts the interference light signal into an interference electrical signal, and the interference electrical signal is demodulated by a signal demodulator to obtain a displacement value of the target mirror.

  • Patent number: 12053267
    Abstract: A method and a device for non-contact determination of temporal color and/or intensity variations in objects in a scene. Monoscopic overview images of the scene are detected with first and second overview cameras from two different viewing directions, and calculated to form a stereoscopic overview map. A two-dimensional detail image is detected by a detail camera from a third viewing direction and is projected on the overview map. Measurement surfaces in the scene are selected based on criteria which are predetermined depending on parameters on which conclusions are to be drawn from the color variations and/or intensity variations. Light emitted by the measurement surfaces is detected in a spatially-resolved and wavelength-resolved manner in a continuously-captured series of measurement images in a predetermined spectral range. The measurement surfaces are analyzed in the measurement images with respect to temporal variation of the intensity and/or color of the light, and the results displayed.

  • Publication number: 20240220605
    Abstract: The present application discloses a security detecting method, apparatus, and device for a container. A security agent process is started by a detection process in the namespace of the detection process, and the security agent process is switched into a namespace of a target container process to be detected. The security agent process is controlled through the detection process to establish a communication connection with the target container process, so that a communication between the detection process and the target container process is realized by the security agent process. Specifically, a security detecting instruction is transmitted through the detection process to the security agent process, and forwarded by the security agent process to the target container process. Data to be detected is generated by the target container process in response to the security detecting instruction, and transmitted by the security agent process to the detection process for security detection.
