Abstract: A parts matching system includes a camera: a depth sensor: a dichroic mirror that passes light of an image scene of a device under test to the camera and reflects laser light emitted from the depth sensor to the device under test and reflects the laser light reflected from the device under test to the depth sensor; and a computer that processes (i) data received from the depth sensor to determine a distance of the device under test to the camera and (ii) image data of the device under test received from the camera.

Abstract: A system to remove defects from a glass article incudes a laser that outputs a fan-shaped infrared beam; and a mechanism to move the glass article relative to the laser while the laser irradiates the glass article and melts a portion of the glass article irradiated by the laser.

Abstract: The invention is a method for determining the thermal conductivity of an unknown material using a differential scanning calorimeter. Experiments conducted in a non-adiabatic environment govern the mathematics of the present method. Multiple samples of the unknown material are formed with different lengths and identical cross-sectional areas. Samples of a reference material, having a known thermal conductivity and a density approaching that of the unknown sample, are formed with the same lengths and cross-sectional area as the unknown samples. Each sample is subjected to the same heat rise in a differential scanning calorimeter to determine values of Q heat flow at selected incremental temperatures. A heat equation for the reference sample and the unknown sample is formed and solved for each like length and temperature value of a reference and sample material to determine the thermal conductivity of the unknown sample.
