Publication number: 20220004033Abstract: Laminated liquid crystal films may be processed using a laser beam to form tear lines. Tear lines create a weak line in a liquid crystal film along which a portion of a PET layer may be torn from the whole PET layer. Tear lines are made by the precise volumetric removal of PET material from a portion of a PET layer by burning away the PET material using the laser beam. The form, extent and depth of penetration of a laser beam into a PET layer may be precisely controlled by adjusting the power and/or scan speed of the laser beam relative to the laminated liquid crystal film on which the PET layer is positioned. In this manner, a desired volume of PET material may be removed from the PET layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2020Publication date: January 6, 2022Applicant: Instinct Performance LLCInventor: David Fishbaine

Patent number: 6750899Abstract: A novel inspection system for inspecting an article of manufacture, such as a printed circuit board, is disclosed, where the system includes a strobed illuminator adapted to project light through a reticle so as to project a pattern of light onto an area of the printed circuit board. A board transport responsively positions the board to at least two distinct positions, where each position corresponding to a different phase of the projected light. Also included is a detector adapted to acquire at least two images of the area, each image corresponding to one of the at least two different phases. An encoder monitors the movement of the board and outputs a position output, and a processor connected to the encoder, the board transport, the illuminator and the detector controlledly energizes the illuminator to expose the area as a function of the position output, the processor co-siting the at least two images and constructing a height map image with the co-sited images.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2000Date of Patent: June 15, 2004Assignee: CyberOptics CorporationInventors: David Fishbaine, Timothy A.

Patent number: 6678062Abstract: An automated system includes improved height sensing. In one aspect, a on-head camera performs the dual functions of fiducial imaging and height sensing using an auxiliary off-axis light source and triangulation. In another aspect, an on-head height sensor is positioned to measure height at a location that is not beneath any nozzles. The sensor provides height information at a plurality of locations over the board, and a height map of the board is created. In yet another aspect of the invention, the above features are combined to provide an on-head camera that images fiducials and measures height at a plurality of locations such that a height map is created.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2001Date of Patent: January 13, 2004Assignee: CyberOptics CorporationInventors: Paul R.

Patent number: 6577405Abstract: An optical system for computing a height of a target on a surface includes a light projector for projecting light. The light passes through a patterned reticle and a projector lens so as to illuminate the target with an image of the pattern. The light is projected telecentrically between the reticle and the projector lens, and a camera is positioned along a receive optical path. The camera receives an image of the target through a receive lens. The target and the pattern move at least three times with respect to each other, and the camera acquires an image of the object at each of at least three positions.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2001Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignee: CyberOptics CorporationInventors: David M.
