  • IDENTIFICATION OF CARPET MATERIALS WITH NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY
    Publication number: 20240035963
    Abstract: A method for identifying carpet materials includes receiving, by a controller coupled to an NIR spectrometer, a predetermined number of NIR measurements of a sample of the carpet material conducted over a bandwidth of a subset of a full NIR spectrum. The NIR spectrometer performs the NIR measurements under control of the controller. Also, sending the NTR measurements to a remote identification server including a spectra library of known carpet materials. The method also includes receiving a matching result from the remote identification server, sending the matching result to a remote appraisal server, and receiving an appraised value of the carpet material.

  • Bollard assembly
    Patent number: 7722285
    Abstract: A bollard assembly having a post and a sleeve. The post has a cylindrical post wall forming a cavity and a passage in the post wall. The passage has a first section that extends longitudinally along the post wall and a second section that intersects the first section and extends crosswise to the first section. The sleeve has a cylindrical sleeve wall forming a cavity and a latch pin that is attached to the sleeve wall and extends into the cavity. The sleeve is adapted to receive the post such that the latch pin travels through the passage in the post wall.
