Patent number: 6233350Abstract: An apparatus for viewing and inspecting the surface area of an object, including a probe having a viewing window defining a field of view, and an image-forming lens within the probe. The probe also includes an image detector on an opposite side of the image-forming lens relative to the viewing window for receiving a viewed image of the surface area through the lens, and transmitting electrical signals indicative thereof. At least one of a focal length of the lens, a primary object distance between the lens and a primary target plane wherein image resolution is optimal, and a primary image distance between the lens and the detector, is selected to: (i) form the primary target plane at approximately the viewing window of the probe; (ii) focus approximately the entire field of view onto the image detector; and (iii) define a depth of the field of view at least approximately equal to a height of the field of view.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 1999Date of Patent: May 15, 2001Assignee: Materials Technologies CorporationInventors: Yogesh Mehrotra, John Nazarian Pike

Patent number: 6122045Abstract: An apparatus (10) and method is provided for generating a 360.degree. view of a surface area of a three-dimensional object, such as a wire or cable, and for inspecting the surface area for flaws or imperfections. A receiving lens (12) defines an optical axis (14) extending through the object, and an origin (0) located on the optical axis within the object and spaced a predetermined distance (S) from the receiving lens (12), for generating a direct image of a front surface section of the object. A first mirror (16) is spaced a first predetermined distance (L1) from the origin (0) on another side of the object relative to the receiving lens (12) for generating a first mirror image of a first rear surface section of the object.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1999Date of Patent: September 19, 2000Assignee: Materials Technologies CorporationInventors: John Nazarian Pike, Yogesh Mehrotra, Herbert Kaplan
