Patent number: 11904426Abstract: A non-contact tool measurement apparatus is used in a machine tool environment. The apparatus includes a transmitter including a first aperture and a laser for generating light that is emitted from the transmitter through the first aperture towards a tool-sensing region. A receiver includes an optical detector and is arranged to receive light from the tool-sensing region. A processor analyses the light detected by the optical detector to enable the measurement of tools in the tool-sensing region. The laser is capable of generating light having a wavelength of less than 590 nm thereby enabling the size of the first aperture to be reduced resulting in a reduction in contaminant ingress. In one embodiment, the laser generates blue light.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: RENISHAW PLCInventors: Julian Alexander Cluff, Graham Richard Ferguson, Harry Alan Leafe, William Ernest Lee

Publication number: 20230275776Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a system for calculating meeting inclusion metrics including insights and recommendations. Meeting data associated with one or more meetings attended by at least one participant remotely is converted into anonymized meeting data for inclusivity metric analysis. An inclusivity insights manager generates inclusivity metrics associated with inclusive behavior and language occurring during meetings to measure the level of inclusivity. The inclusivity metrics include attendee participation metrics measuring an amount of participation by each meeting attendee, participation in-person versus participation remotely, concurrent speech indicating attendees may be talking over one another or other interruptions occurring during meetings. Inclusivity metric data includes insights and actionable recommendations to improve inclusivity at future meetings provided at an individual level, group level or organizational level.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Ananthatejas RAGHAVAN, Cathleen KONG, Kayla Mailinh TRAN, Preeti GOEL, Shamsi Tamara IQBAL, Danielle Amanda SCOTT, Maja Vladan MILOSAVLJEVIC, Wendy GUO, Lisa Sarah THOMAS, Vivian Caroline HUA, Shruti PODDAR, Julian Alexander ZBOGAR-SMITH
