Patent number: 11816856Abstract: A system for determining the absolute position of a first object with respect to a second object includes a scalar element attached to the first object and a measuring device attached to the second object. The scalar element comprises a series of coded regions. The coded region represents a number designating a position along an axis of the scalar element. The measuring device includes a two-dimensional optical sensor array configured to capture an image of a portion of the scalar element. The system also includes a processor configured to receive the image and determine an absolute position of the first object with respect to the second object based on at least one coded region of the series of coded regions.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Sage Vision Inc.Inventors: Elmar Swiegot, Alan Shinn, Chiko Fan, David King, Elias Elias

Publication number: 20050106746Abstract: An analytical device that can be used to conveniently and accurately assay plural vessels. In one exemplary embodiment, a pair of LED sources provides illumination through a pair of radial waveguides to plural vessels arranged in a pair of substantially concentric and circular rows about the LED sources. A light pipe receives light transmitted through a vessel from each radial waveguide and reflects the received light downward to a single printed circuit board that contains a photodiode for each light pipe, as well as processing circuitry. The first LED source/radial waveguide optical is used to confirm the presence of a vessel, and the second is used to perform, e.g., turbidometric and/or colorimetric assays upon an analyte within the vessel. The vessel is incubated in a vessel support that includes a heat conducting base and a heat insulating cover. Heat is supplied by a DC heater.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2004Publication date: May 19, 2005Applicant: Associates of Cape Cod, Inc.Inventors: Alan Shinn, Chiko Fan, Elias Elias, Thomas Novitsky, Michael Dawson, Keith Richardson
