  • Method and system for detecting a diamond signature
    Patent number: 10942128
    Abstract: A method for identifying the presence of partly liberated diamonds in a material stream. The method including illuminating a material with a multi-wavelength beam including at least one monochromatic SWIR laser beam, and at least one IR scatter-/anti-scatter laser beam. A sorting process including ejecting objects including material classified as diamond from a transportation direction of the material stream.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and system for detecting a diamond signature
    Patent number: 10598602
    Abstract: A method for identifying the presence of partly liberated diamonds in a material stream. The method can include illuminating a material with a multi-wavelength beam including at least one monochromatic SWIR laser beam, and at least one IR scatter-/anti-scatter laser beam, capturing a portion of the at least one monochromatic SWIR laser beam after the monochromatic SWIR laser beam has been reflected and/or scattered by the material, producing a SWIR signal based on the captured portion of the at least one monochromatic SWIR laser beam, and capturing a first portion of the at least one IR scatter-/anti-scatter laser beam after the at least one IR scatter-/anti-scatter laser beam has been scattered and optionally reflected by the material.

  • Multi-leaf collimators and operating method
    Patent number: 8335296
    Abstract: Multi-leaf collimators have a guide frame (1) with a plurality of metal plates (3) arranged in a displaceable fashion, by which each individual metal plate can be displaced by an electric motor (M), with the electric motor (M) being a rotary electromechanical motor (M), which operates according to the form-fit principle, with electromechanical actuators.
