  • Patent number: 10118722
    Abstract: A package sorting system is described that can be used to efficiently sort and pack Ropak containers for transporting packages from a sorting facility to a destination facility. The package sorting system can determine a particular Ropak container to place the package in as well as determine if the package was placed in the current Ropak container.

  • Patent number: 8520058
    Abstract: The concept includes projecting at the object surface, along a first optical axis, two or more two-dimensional (2D) images containing together one or more distinct wavelength bands. The wavelength bands vary in intensity along a first image axis, forming a pattern, within at least one of the projected images. Each projected image generates a reflected image along a second optical axis. The 3D surface data is obtained by comparing the object data with calibration data, which calibration data was obtained by projecting the same images at a calibration reference surface, for instance a planar surface, for a plurality of known positions along the z-axis. Provided that the z-axis is not orthogonal to the second optical axis, the z-axis coordinate at each location on the object surface can be found if the light intensity combinations of all predefined light intensity patterns are linearly independent along the corresponding z-axis.

  • Patent number: 8359682
    Abstract: A bathtub support structure and method of construction is described. The support structure comprises a support frame structure formed of vertical support posts and lateral frame members for interconnecting the vertical post at predetermined locations in the support frame structure. Each of the vertical support posts has an adjustable support foot at a top end thereof. At least two spaced-apart adjustable connectors are adjustably secured to at least some of the vertical support posts and displaceable along a substantially horizontal axis. The connectors have an outer attachment head formed of a material for removable magnetic attachment to outer decorative panel components. The panel components have magnetic connecting inserts secured to an inner surface thereof.
