  • In-motion dimensioning system and method for cuboidal objects
    Patent number: 6049386
    Abstract: An in-motion measuring system for determining the length and width of linearly-moving cuboidal objects through the use of object speed, the times during which six light beams oriented across the path of the object are obstructed by the object, and the angles of the light beams with respect to the direction of object movement. The height of an object may also be determined through use of a vertically-extending light curtain with horizontally-oriented light beams, or via an ultrasonic sensor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 1998
    Date of Patent: April 11, 2000
    Assignee: Quantronix, Inc.
    Inventors: Bradley J. Stringer, Lee W. Badger
  • In motion dimensioning system for cuboidal objects
    Patent number: 5831737
    Abstract: An in-motion measuring system for determining the length and width of linearly-moving cuboidal objects through the use of object speed, the times during which four light beams oriented across the path of the object are obstructed by the object, and the angles of the light beams with respect to the direction of object movement. The height of an object may also be determined through use of a vertically-extending light curtain with horizontally-oriented light beams, or via an ultrasonic sensor.

  • In-motion dimensioning system for cuboidal objects
    Patent number: 5636028
    Abstract: An in-motion measuring system for determining the length and width of linearly-moving cuboidal objects though the use of object speed, the times during which four light beams oriented across the path of the object are obstructed by the object, and the angles of the light beams with respect to the direction of object movement. The height of an object may also be determined through use of a vertically-extending light curtain with horizontally-oriented light beams, or via an ultrasonic sensor.
