Publication number: 20190025050Abstract: An inspection device is provided in which X-rays are radiated in a fan-like shape with respect to an extension direction of steel cords, are transmitted through a conveyor belt, and reach an X-ray line sensor. A control device makes an X-ray generator and the X-ray line sensor move in a fixed relative position at a certain speed within a certain movement range in a direction parallel with a plane and orthogonal to an extension direction of the steel cords. The control device generates two-dimensional image information on the basis of an X-ray transmission signal obtained each time the X-ray generator and the X-ray line sensor move a unit amount equal to a pixel pitch of the X-ray line sensor. The control device detects measurement information relating to the conveyor belt and the steel cords on the basis of the obtained two-dimensional image information.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2017Publication date: January 24, 2019Inventors: Mitsutaka Masuda, Koji Urabe, Tsutomu Inoue

Publication number: 20190025052Abstract: A system for detecting a position of an object includes a position sensor and a demodulator. The position sensor receives a first excitation signal, senses a displacement of the object with respect to a reference point based on the first excitation signal, and generates first and second sense signals based on the first excitation signal. The demodulator receives the first sense signal and the second sense signal from the position sensor, performs a first cross-correlation calculation between the first sense signal and a second excitation signal and a second cross-correlation calculation between the second sense signal and the second excitation signal, determines displacement of the object with respect to the reference point based on results of the first and second cross-correlation calculations, and determine a position of the object based on the displacement.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2017Publication date: January 24, 2019Applicant: BAE Systems Controls Inc.Inventors: Patrick Nee, David R. Herdzik

Publication number: 20190025053Abstract: Laser radar systems include a pentaprism configured to scan a measurement beam with respect to a target surface. A focusing optical assembly includes a corner cube that is used to adjust measurement beam focus. Target distance is estimated based on heterodyne frequencies between a return beam and a local oscillator beam. The local oscillator beam is configured to propagate to and from the focusing optical assembly before mixing with the return beam. In some examples, heterodyne frequencies are calibrated with respect to target distance using a Fabry-Perot interferometer having mirrors fixed to a lithium aluminosilicate glass-ceramic tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2018Publication date: January 24, 2019Applicant: Nikon Metrology NVInventors: Anthony R. Slotwinski, Mina A. Rezk

Publication number: 20190025055Abstract: A sporting field measurement system is disclosed wherein a user is prompted to select, on a mobile device, a field for marking from various sporting field types including, but not limited to football, baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse, track, tennis, basketball, cricket, polo, rugby, Australian football, volleyball, and badminton. The Global National Satellite System (GNSS) or at least the global positioning system (GPS) is used to locate a user's device. An application displays, on a display, of the mobile device, the dimensions of the specified sporting field as an overlay on a map, generated by the positioning system and it will communicate with the GNSS or GPS of the device to allow the user to track his or her movement along a specified path of a proposed field. This will allow the user to place the appropriate markers and/or paint the field. Deviations from the path may be indicated on the display of the mobile device or by an audio indication generated by the mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2018Publication date: January 24, 2019Inventors: Lee Edward Haynes, Byron Lee Robinson
