Abstract: An apparatus for producing 3D point-cloud model of physical objects includes a rotatable platform (11), multiple patterns asymmetrically arranged on the rotatable platform (11), a background curtain (13), and an image capturing unit (12) arranged facing toward the background curtain (13). A producing method includes: placing an object (2) to be scanned on the rotatable platform (11); setting a capturing amount during one-time rotation operation; controlling the rotatable platform (11) to perform the rotation operation, and controlling the image capturing unit (12) to capture corresponding images during the rotation operation according to the capturing amount, wherein each image includes the entire object (2) and multiple of the patterns, and records corresponding global coordinates; and, performing matching on multiple features of each of the images, and constructing a 3D point-cloud model of the object (2) according to a matching result of the features and the global coordinates of each of the images.

Abstract: A crane mounting system to be used for mounting a crane onto a truck frame utilizes at least two shear plates with an L-shape profile. One part of each shear plate is interposed between a respective frame rail of the truck chassis and a respective end of a transverse mounting bar, while the orthogonal part of each shear plate is welded, at least partially, to the outer side of the respective frame rail. Interior holes on the transverse bars are threaded to accept inner tie down bolts while outer holes are drilled through to accept tie down studs. The shear plate acts as a wear plate/surface as the crane base sits on the transverse bars that in turn nests on the bent plate rather than directly on the chassis frame rail.

Abstract: This invention relates to a resin composition capable of being thermally cured while minimizing or eliminating voids in the resulting composite, the composition having both a long pot life at low temperatures and a fast curing rate at higher temperatures containing a mixture of (a) a phenol-formaldehyde resole resin, and (b) an etherified hardener, the etherified hardener being prepared from an alkoxylated polyol or a mono epoxy functional diluent.

Abstract: An aqueous binder composition containing a substantially infinitely water-dilutable or dispersible mixture of an epoxide and an epoxide crosslinking agent and the related method of its use for making glass fiber products, such as fiberglass insulation.

Abstract: Described herein is a composition which contains bis(2,3-epoxycyclopentyl) ether, a specific group of hardeners and a specific group of thermoplastics. When cured, these compositions have improved tensile properties as compared to similar compositions which do not contain thermoplastics.

Abstract: Locations of a desired number of signal points for a double side band-quadrature carrier modulation system occupy the inner intersections of a multiplicity of concentric rings with a triangular grid. The signal point locations of the desired number on the outer partially occupied ring are provided with additional signal points at positions selected to provide that the centroid of the set of locations is at the center of the rings.
