Abstract: An apparatus for optically inspecting an at least partially reflecting surface of an object includes first and second transverse carriers (12, 14) defining respective substantially circular segment-shaped cutouts (32). The transverse carriers (12, 14) are disposed at a longitudinal distance (D) from one another and the longitudinal distance (D) defines a longitudinal direction (17). A plurality of longitudinal members are configured to hold the first and second transverse carriers at the longitudinal distance (D). The longitudinal members are arranged at a defined radial distance to the circular segment-shaped cutouts. A translucent diffusing screen is held in the circular segment-shaped cutouts by the transverse carriers to form a tunnel-shaped inspection space. A multiplicity of light sources are arranged outside of the tunnel-shaped inspection space behind the diffusing screen. The light sources are configured to be controlled individually or in small groups to generate variable light-dark patterns on the diffusing screen. A workpiece receptacle is configured for accommodating the object in the tunnel-shaped inspection space. At least one camera is directed into the tunnel-shaped inspection space. An evaluation and control unit is configured to control the light sources and the camera to generate various light-dark patterns on the diffusing screen and to record and evaluate a plurality of images of the object in dependence on the light-dark patterns.

Abstract: A gas detector (10) that is arranged to sense the concentration levels of target gases oxygen, methane, carbon monox-ide, and hydrogen sulphide, within a gas sample from an environment surrounding the detector. The gas detector (10) comprises laser sources (12a-12d) that are arranged to transmit radiation through the gas sample at four target wavelengths that correspond approximately to the optimum absorption wavelengths of each of the target gases and an optical detector (16) that is arranged to sense the intensity of the radiation transmitted through the gas sample at each of the target wavelengths.

Abstract: A precision machine vision inspection system and method for increased inspection throughput. The vision inspection system includes a movable stage for scanning and measuring selected workpiece features. In prior systems, conventional interspersing of image processing and inspection operations with image acquisition operations required stopping and starting the stage motion during image acquisition, necessitating associated delays or wait-states in various operations. Such delays are avoided in this invention by acquiring images continuously, with a timing that is independent of image inspection operations, so that delays and wait-states are avoided. In addition, continuous stage motion is combined with a strobe lighting feature during the image acquisition operations to acquire blur-free images at a high rate. Improved image acquisition and image analysis routines including these features are created and stored by the system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically selecting test types for an analytical meter system based on the insertion into the meter of a test element. The test element can be an analytical element, formed by a test strip with a fluid such as blood applied thereto; a control element, formed by a test strip with control fluid applied thereto; or a standard element, or a standard strip exhibiting known optical properties. By inserting the test element into the analytical meter system, optical properties are measured and the existence of relationships between the measurements are ascertained. Based on the existence or nonexistence of certain relationships, the proper test can be automatically selected by the meter without the need for user interaction. Advantageously, the results of the test can be classified and stored according to test type.
