  • Patent number: 8632285
    Abstract: A router table clamp system for attaching a router to a router table, wherein the system includes a first plate that is fixed with respect to the router table, a second plate that is configured to cooperate with the first plate to enable the router to be removably attached to the router table, and a clamping mechanism configured and arranged to move the second plate with respect to the first plate between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein when the clamping mechanism is in the locked position, the router is securely attached to the router table. The clamping mechanism also includes a lever assembly configured and arranged to move the second plate in a locking direction and an unlocking direction, which directions are both generally coincident with a plane defined by the second plate, wherein the locking direction is opposite of the unlocking direction.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7389152
    Abstract: A document image scanner; a camera having a field of view, for sensing differentiated information areas on each physical document as the physical document is transported; an image processing system associated with the camera, for producing a virtual image data file from the differentiated information areas sensed by the camera; sensors for determining the position of the physical document relative to the camera field of view; of electro-mechanical devices for actuating the transporter; and a data interface controller for receiving data from the sensors and controlling the electro-mechanical devices. A communications link is provided between the data interface controller and the image processing system for synchronization by the data interface controller, of the physical document as conveyed and the virtual document image captured by the image processing system.

  • Publication number: 20050274914
    Abstract: A document image scanner having a transporter for conveying physical documents in spaced serial relation along a working distance; a camera having a field of view along the working distance, for sensing differentiated information areas on each physical document as the physical document is conveyed; an image processing system operatively associated with the camera, for producing a virtual image data file from the differentiated information areas sensed by the camera on the physical document; sensors for determining the position of the conveyed physical document relative to the camera field of view; a plurality of electro-mechanical devices for actuating the transporter; and a data interface controller for receiving data from the sensors and controlling the electro-mechanical devices to transport the physical document.
