摘要： A device for detecting an object conveyed through a measuring region comprises a transmission apparatus configured to emit measuring radiation onto the outer contour of the object. The measuring radiation comprises a frequency in a range of one of gigahertz and terahertz. A protective mesh is positioned between the measuring region and at least one of the transmission apparatus and the receiving apparatus. The protective mesh is transparent for the measuring radiation and permeable to a gas.

摘要： Provided is a disclosure for a cutting device configured to control a linear speed of a cutting wheel as the cutting wheel gets smaller with use. In one example, the cutting device includes a cutting wheel; an actuator to rotate the cutting wheel; a power source configured to provide power to the actuator for rotating the cutting wheel at an adjustable rotational velocity; and control circuitry configured to adjust the rotational velocity of the cutting wheel to maintain a substantially constant surface speed.

摘要： A bubble measurement system includes a bubble detector including a vessel having a flow path configured to receive a flow of fluid includes air bubbles from a bubble generator. The bubble measurement system includes an imaging system having an imaging device for imaging the fluid and air bubbles in the flow path of the vessel of the bubble detector. The imaging system has an imaging controller coupled to the imaging device and receiving images from the imaging device. The imaging controller processes the images to measure bubble size of each air bubble passing through the bubble detector.

摘要： A calibrated three-dimensional optical measuring apparatus for the three-dimensional measurement of geometric parameters of a rope has a frame defining and arranged around a rope receiving cavity. A plurality of image acquisition devices is configured to acquire a plurality of digital images of at least one region of an outer surface of the rope. The image acquisition devices are fixed to the frame and arranged around the rope when the calibrated three-dimensional optical measuring apparatus receives the rope in the rope receiving cavity. An attachment device is configured to constrain the calibrated three-dimensional optical measuring apparatus to the rope in a relatively translatable manner with respect to the rope. An electronic digital image processing device is configured to process a multiplicity of digital images and obtain a three-dimensional photogrammetric reconstruction of points of the digital images of the rope acquired by the image acquisition devices.

摘要： A system and method for non-contact measurement of remaining spooled material. The system comprises at least one optical signal source configured to illuminate spooled material with an optical beam having an optical beam width that illuminates the material remaining in the spool. The optical beam width and spacing are such that spooled material is illuminated by each optical signal source. The system includes drive circuitry configured to drive the at least one optical signal source using pulses. The system further includes at least one optical signal receiver configured to receive light reflected from each of said light pulses. The system still further includes a processor configured to: establish a number and drive strength of the pulses; and cause measurements to be performed of the remaining spooled material.

摘要： A measurement process, intended for measuring at least one wheel of a train, including an acquisition step, during which a plurality of profiles of at least a part of the wheel are acquired by plurality of optical sensors, as the train moves in front of the optical sensors, a mapping step, during which, for each optical sensor, the profiles acquired by the optical sensor are joined by a control module, to obtain a map of the part of the wheel further transformed into a cloud of points, a rejoining step, during which the clouds of points obtained from the optical sensors are joined to form a three-dimensional image of the wheel, and an analysis step, during which a plurality of reference points and reference distances are measured on the three-dimensional image.

摘要： Jitter is removed from point cloud data by processing different groups of data points in the point cloud data in succession to minimize the entropy of the point cloud data. Each group in the point cloud data is generated at either different points in time or from detecting different pulses of reflected laser light from a target. The data points in a selected group are repetitively shifted en masse in the coordinate system of the point cloud data and the entropy of the point cloud data is re-calculated until subsequent shifts of the data points in the selected group does not further reduce the entropy. The remaining groups are subsequently processed in a similar fashion until the entropy of the point cloud data reaches a minimum.

摘要： An example automated locomotive spotting system includes a locomotive having a tractive effort mechanism for moving the locomotive along a track, and a locomotive controller configured to control the tractive effort mechanism to move the locomotive along the track. The locomotive controller includes an odometer configured to monitor a distance traversed by the locomotive along the track. The locomotive controller is configured to receive a requested spotting distance value, and initiate movement of the locomotive along the track via the tractive effort mechanism. The locomotive controller is also configured to monitor, by the odometer, the distance traversed by the locomotive along the track, and inhibit movement of the locomotive in response to the monitored odometer distance indicating the locomotive has traversed the requested spotting distance.
