  • Patent number: 8294958
    Abstract: A scanner system and corresponding method, the system comprising: a scanner device (1); a target 17) and a processor (21). The scanner device (1) comprises: an emitter (13) for projecting patterned light and a sensor (12) for capturing images of the object (19). The target (17) has predetermined features visible to the sensor simultaneously with the object for enabling the processor to determine the location of the sensor with respect to the object. The generates a three-dimensional model of the object on the basis of images of the object with the patterned light projected thereon. The scanner device further comprises a light source (14) for directionally illuminating the object (19), and the sensor (12) is arranged to capture images of the illuminated object. The processor generates sets of photometric data for the object when illuminated from different directions.

  • Publication number: 20050285301
    Abstract: An economical method of facilitating the molding and casting of a mans penis, which may be completed at a mobile location, including the steps of inserting the penis into a molding container which is filled with a solidifying molding material, withdrawing the penis, thereby creating a negative impression of it, placing a two to five inch phallic shaped vibrating device into the negative impression in order to partially fill the area, and filling the remaining negative impression area with a pour able polyurethane or silicone material capable of curing into a flexible form within the molding material and around the vibrating device, thereby revealing a functional, vibrating replica of the original penis. Using a phallic shaped vibrating device to displace the expensive casting material is what makes this process so economical. The vibrating device placed into the mold results in the need for far less casting material than would be necessary without inserting the vibrating device.
