  • Publication number: 20200116650
    Abstract: Various defects in an electronic assembly can be intelligently identified with a system having at least a server connected to a first capture module and a second capture module. The first capture module may be positioned proximal a first manufacturing line while the second capture module is positioned proximal a second manufacturing line. Images can be collected of first and second electronic assemblies by respective first and second capture modules prior to the images being sent to a classification module of the server where at least one defect is automatically detected in each of the first and second electronic assemblies concurrently with the classification module.

  • Patent number: 10559935
    Abstract: A brush used to contact with a commutator, includes a brush body which includes two opposite axial end faces and a protruding portion projecting from the brush body toward the commutator. The protruding portion includes a first surface, a second surface and at least two teeth. The first surface and the second surface are respectively adjacent to the two axial end faces. Angles formed between the first surface and the second surface and corresponding adjacent axial end faces are obtuse. The teeth is located between the first surface and the second surface, and extends generally along a circumferential direction of the commutator. The ratio of a total width of the at least two teeth in an axial direction of the brush to an axial height of the brush body is in the range of 0.25-0.75. An electric motor including the brush is also provided.

  • Patent number: 7840066
    Abstract: Methods for enhancing the quality of an electronic image, including automated methods for contrast enhancement and image noise reduction. In many embodiments the method provides for grouping the histogram components of a low-contrast image into the proper number of bins according to a criterion, then redistributing these bins uniformly over the grayscale, and finally ungrouping the previously grouped gray-levels. The technique is named gray-level grouping (GLG). An extension of GLG called Selective Gray-Level Grouping (SGLG), and various variations thereof are also provided. SGLG selectively groups and ungroups histogram components to achieve specific application purposes, such as eliminating background noise, enhancing a specific segment of the histogram, and so on. GLG techniques may be applied to both monochromatic grayscale images and to color images.
