    Assignee: Carl Zeiss GOM Metrology GmbH
    Inventors: Tim Winter, Eric Oertel
  • Publication number: 20250035433
    Abstract: A measuring apparatus for optically measuring objects includes a camera and a laser projection unit which has a laser light source. The laser projection unit is configured to project laser light onto an object to be measured and the camera is configured to record an image of the object with the projected laser light. The measuring apparatus is configured to supply the at least one laser light source with a driving power which varies during each exposure time of the camera, in particular, a varying injection current and/or driving voltage, in order to increase the bandwidth of the projected laser wavelengths.

  • Publication number: 20220261059
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system for observing power or energy availability for a gateway device and the power or energy consumption of each component or device within or connected to the gateway device. The gateway device of the present invention can then learn the usage patterns of the software modules and devices and then predict the power utilization based on various usage plans. The gateway device can then plan or build an energy consumption schema and implement the energy consumption schema to control power utilization by the gateway device and its related peripheral devices. The gateway device can also communicate with other gateway devices to share power plant data, utilization schemas, or to off load or on board data tasks. The gateway device can dynamically self-optimize to restrict or permit power plant usage based on forecasts derived from past behavior and predicted future behavior and demand predictions triggered by application usage.
