  • Technologies for identifying defects
    Patent number: 10768120
    Abstract: A method comprises: directing a laser beam onto a side of a tube, wherein the side includes a defect; moving the tube with respect to the laser beam such that the laser beam beams onto the defect; sensing a reflection of the laser beam from the side based on the defect; computationally identifying a change between the laser beam and the reflection; computationally acting based on the change. The side can be internal or external. In other implementations, the laser beam is moved with respect to the tube such that the laser beam beams onto the defect.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 14, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 8, 2020
    Assignee: Sunspring America, Inc.
    Inventors: Scott Steven Sheppard, James Richard Lambdin
