Abstract:
A plant sensor includes a light source section having first and second light emitters configured to irradiate first and second measuring light toward an object to be measured, respectively, and a light receiver configured to receive reflected light from the object to be measured, and output light-receiving signals. A controller is configured to control emission of the first and second light emitters at a different timing, an integrator is configured to integrate the light-receiving signals, and output an integration signal, and a calculator is configured to calculate, according to the integration signal, a reflection rate as a ratio of light intensity of the reflected light of the first measuring light from the object to be measured to light intensity of the first measuring light, a reflection rate as a ratio of light intensity of the reflected light of the second measuring light from the object to be measured to light intensity of the second measuring light, and to obtain information regarding a growing condition of the object to be measured.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for monitoring the filling of a capsule with a medicament, to a corresponding filling method, to the associated apparatuses, and to a computer program for controlling the method and the apparatus. In the monitoring method, after at least part of the capsule has been filled with a predefined filling mass of a predefined closed contour of the medicament, at least the filling mass in the part of the capsule after the filling operation is recorded using digital imaging in a first step, the contour of the filling mass in the part of the capsule is determined from the digital imaging recording in a second step, and the contour is analysed in a third step in order to assess the filling operation in comparison with the predefined contour. The invention provides for external influences on the image properties to be compensated for by controlling the optical system.
Abstract:
An inspection apparatus can include a handset and an elongated inspection tube extending from the handset. For reduction of heat energy radiating from one or more components of the apparatus, the apparatus can include a particularly designed heat sink assembly.
Abstract:
Eine Vorrichtung zum optischen Inspizieren einer zumindest teilweise glänzenden Oberfläche an einem Gegenstand besitzt einen ersten und zumindest einen zweiten Querträger (12, 14), die jeweils einen weitgehend kreissegmentförmigen Ausschnitt (32) bilden. Die Querträger (12, 14) sind in einem Längsabstand (D) zueinander angeordnet, der eine Längsrichtung (17) definiert. Die beiden Querträger (12, 14) werden mit einer Anzahl von Längsträgern (16) in dem Längsabstand (D) gehalten. Die Längsträger (16) sind in einem definierten Radialabstand (38) zu den kreissegmentförmigen Ausschnitten (32) angeordnet. Die Querträger (12, 14) halten eine lichtdurchlässige Mattscheibe (34), die einen tunnelförmigen Inspektionsraum (36) bildet. Außerhalb des tunnelförmigen Inspektionsraums (36) sind hinter der Mattscheibe eine Vielzahl von Lichtquellen (48) angeordnet, die einzeln oder in kleinen Gruppen ansteuerbar sind, um variable HeIl-Dunkel-Muster (90) auf der Mattscheibe (34) zu erzeugen. Zumindest eine Kamera (74, 78) ist in den tunnelförmigen Inspektionsraum (36) gerichtet.
