Patent number: 11852460Abstract: A measurement apparatus for measuring a laser focus spot size, which includes a two-dimensional image detector and an imaging system which forms a magnified image of a focus spot located an object plane onto the image detector. The imaging system includes at least an objective lens. A sealed liquid container is secured over a part of the objective lens such as the optical surface of the objective lens is immersed in the liquid (e.g. water) within the container. The liquid container has a window through which the laser beam enters. An image processing method is also disclosed which processes the image obtained by the image detector to obtain the focus spot size while implementing an algorithm that corrects for the effect of ambient vibration.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2023Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: AMO Development, LLCInventors: Zheng Sun, Daniel Bray, Zenon Witowski, Timothy Slotterback, Hong Fu

Publication number: 20210015078Abstract: Leash assemblies for use in leading and controlling dogs and/or other animals, and associated systems and methods, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a leash assembly includes a connection member configured to be coupled to a harness or collar worn by an animal. A lead line is slidably coupled to the connection member and can include a first loop and a second loop configured to be grasped by a handler. A first stop member is coupled to the first loop and a second stop member is coupled to the second loop. The stop members are sized and shaped to prevent the first and second loops from sliding entirely through the connection member. This arrangement permits the handler to lead the animal by grasping the first loop, the second loop, or each of the first and second loops.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2019Publication date: January 21, 2021Inventor: Daniel Bray

Patent number: 10528916Abstract: Described are methods and systems for interview competency and question validation and analysis to improve the effectiveness of evaluation campaigns. In one method, processing logic of an interview design program, hosted by a digital evaluation platform, receives a request from a first device to create a digital interview for a position. The interview design program sends a list of competencies associated with the position and receives a selection of a set of desired competencies. The interview design program determines a list of questions that differentiate candidates within the desired competencies, ranks the list of questions by importance, and sends the list of questions and the ranking information to the first device and receives a selection of a set of desired questions. The interview design program creates the digital interview with the set of desired questions. The digital evaluation platform presents the digital interview to a candidate on a second device.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2015Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: HireVue Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Taylor, Daniel Bray, Loren Larsen, Christopher Luman
