Patent number: 10178372Abstract: An optical assembly for three-dimensional image capture includes first and second optical channels that are fixed with respect to one another. Each channel is configured to direct light onto at least a portion of an image sensor. The first and second optical channels each include an aperture for receiving the light, an objective lens for focusing the light into an intermediate image on an intermediate image plane, and an eyepiece lens for collimating the intermediate image.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2013Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: THE CHARLES STARK DRAPER LABORATORY, INC.Inventors: Juha-Pekka J. Laine, Scott A. Rasmussen, Francis J. Rogomentich, Robert A. Larsen

Publication number: 20090094695Abstract: Illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method, data processing system and computer program product for generating an association between a configuration item and an account. In one illustrative embodiment, the computer implemented method comprises selecting the configuration item requiring account association to create a selected configuration item, and selecting a set of rules for the selected configuration item to form a set of selected rules, wherein the selected set of rules is used to associate configuration items to accounts. Further the method determines whether a match is present between the set of selected rules and the selected configuration item, and responsive to determining that a match is present, obtains account mapping information for an account identified by the match, and associates the selected configuration item with the account using the account mapping information.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2007Publication date: April 9, 2009Inventors: Ravi Prakash Bansal, Saravanan Kannappan, David George King, Robert A. Larsen, Venkatesan Ramamorthy, John Lee White

Patent number: 4911313Abstract: A linkage lifting apparatus is disclosed in which a linkage means is mounted on a lifting beam and includes link pivotal connections which may be connected and disconnected from load hooks comprising part of an object to be lifted. The linkage lifting apparatus includes a latching means which holds two link pairs in a position in which the link pivotal connections may engage the load hooks. The latching means is releasable from the link pairs in response to downward movement of the lifting beam against the link pairs. The pivotal connections move into a lifting position in engagement with the hooks in response to force provided by the weight of links comprising part of the two link pairs. The two link pairs and the pivotal connections movable out of the lifting position and the link pairs are again latched by the latching mechanism to hold them free of the load hooks also in response to downward movement of the lifting beam against the link pairs.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1988Date of Patent: March 27, 1990Assignee: Harnischfeger CorporationInventor: Robert A. Larsen
