  • Patent number: 10929574
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for an integrated standardized metrology system (ISMetS) are disclosed. A disclosed metrology system comprises at least one processor to receive an XML metrology file that comprises at least one metrology action for a metrology instrument to measure at least one object, to translate the XML metrology file into a human machine interface (HMI) metrology file, to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) based on the HMI metrology file, to generate a HMI metrology command file according to a command from a user via the GUI, to translate the HMI metrology command file into a metrology instrument software command file, and to translate the metrology instrument software command file into a metrology instrument command file. The system further comprises the metrology instrument to measure at least one object, according to the metrology instrument command file, to obtain measurements for at least one object.

  • Patent number: 9167972
    Abstract: A non-contact biometric sensing device is described. The device includes a processing device, a user interface communicatively coupled to the processing device, a display communicatively coupled to the processing device, a laser doppler vibrometer sensor communicatively coupled to the processing device, and an infrared camera communicatively coupled to the processing device. The processing device is programmed to utilize mechanical motion data received from the laser doppler vibrometer sensor and thermal distributions data from the infrared camera to calculate biometric data, when signals originating from the laser doppler vibrometer sensor and the infrared camera are reflected back towards the device from a target.

  • Patent number: 5589928
    Abstract: The invention performs coordinate measurement employing multiple-frequency intensity-modulated laser radar. A laser diode source is intensity modulated by variation of its excitation current. Its output beam is directed to a target using scanning mirrors or other opto-mechanical means, and the light returned from the target is detected. The modulation frequency is alternated between two or more values, creating a dataset of several relative phase measurements that uniquely determine the distance to the target without ambiguity.
