OPTICAL POST MOUNT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE
20170254977 · 2017-09-07 · ·

An optical mount system that may be adjusted by a variety of devices and methods. In some cases, a post collar assembly may be configured to engage a collar coupling surface of a post holder body such that the post collar engages the collar coupling surface in indexed and predetermined angular positions. In some cases, a base of a post holder body may be configured to accept a secondary base element in the form of a mounting adapter which may be releasably secured the base to provide additional stiffness for the mounting of the base to a reference surface.

OPTICAL RAIL SYSTEM AND METHOD USING QUICK-DISCONNECT OPTICAL COMPONENT MOUNTS
20170191611 · 2017-07-06 ·

An optical rail system that includes an electronic component mount configured to be mounted on rails between two previously-mounted electronic component mounts without the need of removing one of the two previous-mounted mounts. The electronic component mount includes grooves configured to securely register with respective portions of the rails. The mount further comprises locking devices for securely locking the portions of the rails to the housing within the grooves. The mount additionally includes a dock for securely hosting one or more optical components. Also disclosed is a rail mount for facilitating the mounting the optical rail system to an optical table or other structure. The rail mount includes grooves for securely registering with respective portions of the rails, locking devices for more securely locking the rails within the grooves, and an attachment structure for attaching the rail mount to a post, the post being configured for mounting to an optical table or other structure.

Container handling device for handling containers, such as bottles or similar containers designed to hold a beverage or a similar product
09689809 · 2017-06-27 · ·

A container inspection device is used to inspect containers, such as bottles or similar containers in a container filling plant. The container inspection device comprises a guide arrangement that guides characteristic information of one or more regions of a container along a first guide path to a first sensor, and along a separate, second guide path to a second sensor. The guide arrangement comprises at least two essentially identical guide structures, through which the guide paths travel. A guide element is included that is designed to guide the characteristic information to both the first guide path and the second guide path.

METHODS FOR COMPENSATING MEASUREMENTS OF DEVICES UNDER TEST (DUTS) CAPTURED THROUGH PRESCRIPTION LENSES, AND ASSOCIATED IMAGING SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS

Methods for compensating measurements of devices under test (DUTs) captured through prescription lenses (and associated imaging systems, devices, and methods) are described herein. In one embodiment, a method for characterizing focus quality of a DUT through a prescription lens includes adjusting an optical power of a measurement device to compensate for optical power provided by the prescription lens. The method further comprises imaging, using the measurement device, a test pattern through the prescription lens, wherein the test pattern is displayed by the DUT; measuring contrast of an edge in the test pattern at a point of interest within the imaging of the test pattern; and determining focus quality of the DUT based at least in part on the contrast measurement.

Frame and exterior shrouding for laser processing system

A frame for a laser processing module can be characterized as including a platform having an upper surface and a lower surface, an optics bridge spaced apart from, and extending over, the upper surface of the platform and a bridge support interposed between, and coupled to, the platform and the optics bridge. At least one selected from the group consisting of the platform and the optics bridge includes a sandwich panel. The sandwich panel can include a first plate, a second plate and a core interposed between the first plate and the second plate. The first plate and the second plate can be indirectly attached to one another by the core and the core can define at least one channel extending between the first plate and the second plate. The sandwich panel can also include a first port formed at an exterior of the sandwich panel and in fluid communication with the at least one channel, and a second port formed at the exterior of the sandwich panel and in fluid communication with the at least one channel.
