  • Digital image capture device and method
    Publication number: 20090073307
    Abstract: A device for illuminating and capturing an image of an object can include a first light source mounted to structure; a second light source mounted to the structure; and an image sensor disposed adjacent to the first and second light sources and mounted to the structure. The image sensor may capture at least two different partial images of a target area, the partial images being captured under different acquisition conditions. A controller section may also include that has at least a memory that stores the at least two partial images to form a larger image.

  • Eccentric conical fastening system
    Patent number: 7455471
    Abstract: Fastening systems for parts that endure high vibration shear loads have traditionally been difficult or expensive to produce. This application describes a fastening system with multiple conical surfaces and eccentric offsets. The novel conical fastener system allows parts to be assembled with reduced tolerance controls at interface features while improving alignment precision. The eccentric conical fastening system is particularly well suited for assemblies with high shear loads in high vibration/shock environments, and/or for systems that have extremely precise pointing requirements.
