Patent number: 10907955Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) measuring system and a method of determining a distance is provided. A three-dimensional (3D) measuring system includes a master part having a first base part and a first part-under-test including a second base. A photogrammetry camera images the master part to generate two-dimensional (2D) images. A first 3D imager determines 3D coordinates in a first imager frame of reference. A second 3D imager determines 3D coordinates in a second imager frame of reference. The system determines in a system frame of reference a first pose of the first imager and a second pose of the second imager. The system is further configured to determine 3D coordinates of the first part-under-test in the system frame of reference.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Matthew Armstrong, Christopher S.

Patent number: 10444006Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) measuring system and a method of determining a distance is provided. The 3D measuring system includes a display and an imager device. The imager device having a projector, a first camera and a second camera arranged in a predetermined geometric relationship, the first and second camera each having a photosensitive array with a plurality of pixels that transmit a signal in response to a wavelength of light. The projector projects a pattern that includes at least one element. The system further having one or more processors operably coupled to the display, the projector, and the first and second camera. The processors are responsive to computer instructions for determining a distance to the at least one element and changing an indicator on the display corresponding to the distance relative to a predetermined projector-to-object distance.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Matthew Armstrong, Christopher S.

Patent number: 9518848Abstract: A sensor housing (1) includes a basic body (2) and two tube sections (4, 9) projecting from the basic body (2). At least a first one (4; 9) of the tube sections has an outside thread which is interrupted in circumferential direction by at least one recessed facet (15, 17; 19, 20). The facet (15, 17; 19, 20) extends—from a center plane of the first tube section (4; 9) being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the second tube section (9; 4)—on at least one side of this center plane essentially perpendicularly to it.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2007Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: IFM ELECTRONIC GMBHInventors: Yevgeniy Vinshtok, Michael J.

Patent number: 8100844Abstract: A hinge or joint assembly includes a first member movably connected to a second member to allow angular displacement of the first member relative to the second member in each of extension and flexion (clockwise and counterclockwise) directions, where one elastomeric spring restrains angular displacement in a flexion position, and another elastomeric spring restrains angular displacement in an extension position. In each direction, the angular movement is dampened through compression of the respective elastomeric spring. After dampening the movement in either direction, returning movement is assisted through decompression of the respective elastomeric spring. Alternatively, one or more elastomeric springs are arranged to both dampen through compression and assist through decompression angular movement in each of the flexion and extension directions. The elastomeric spring can provide a pre-determined force deflection curve in compression and an independent rate of return hysteresis in decompression.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2006Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Ultraflex Systems, Inc.Inventors: Mark DeHarde, Yevgeniy Vinshtok
