  • Patent number: 12099645
    Abstract: A detection system has an interface including a substrate supporting a conductive coating. Electrodes are provided to the substrate. A multiplexer provides current to the electrodes. A demultiplexer receives voltages from electrodes and provides corresponding signals to a controller. The controller receives these signals and determines therefrom an operation performed in connection with the interface by applying an algorithmic approach. Static interaction is recognizable, and machine learning can be used for gesture recognition and/or identification of other interaction types. The technology can be used in a broad array of applications, e.g., where it is desirable to sense interactions with a defined region such as, for example, in the case of touches, gestures, hovers, and/or the like.

  • Patent number: 11940383
    Abstract: A method and/or system is provided for detecting and/or identifying inclusions (e.g., nickel sulfide based inclusions/defects) in glass such as soda-lime-silica based float glass. In certain example instances, during and/or after the glass-making process, following the stage in the float process where the glass sheet is formed and floated on a molten material (e.g., tin bath) and cooled or allowed to cool such as via an annealing lehr, energy such as infrared (IR) energy is directed at the resulting glass and reflectance at various wavelengths is analyzed to detect inclusions.

  • Publication number: 20150070487
    Abstract: A method and a device are described that implement electroluminescence inspection, photoluminescence inspection or both of an object capable of luminescence. During the inspection, the object is excited by the application of a voltage, by the irradiation of light or both so as to transmit electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic radiation is registered by an optical recording device and is outputted as an image. The image undergoes an evaluation, and possible faults of the object are determined in the image evaluation. Provision is made for the registration of the electromagnetic radiation by the recording device to be undertaken in at least two images in different spectral ranges.
