Systems and methods for transprojection of geometry data acquired by a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). The CMM acquires geometry data corresponding to 3D coordinate measurements collected by a measuring probe that are transformed into scaled 2D data that is transprojected upon various digital object image views captured by a camera. The transprojection process can utilize stored image and coordinate information or perform live transprojection viewing capabilities in both still image and video modes.

The present invention provides the Fabry-Perot (F-P) sensor compromising housing, measuring probe, longitudinal sling block, and displacement converting device. The optic fiber passes through upside sealing ring and extends into upside through hole with the optic fiber end surface disposed at the bottom; the upside of longitudinal sliding block is disposed with reflecting surface, thus a Fabry-Perot cavity is formed between part of the fiber end surface at the bottom of the fiber and the reflecting surface on the upside of longitudinal sliding block. The displacement converting device will convert the lateral slides of the measuring probe into the slides of the longitudinal sliding block, which thus changes the distance from the reflecting surface to the fiber end surface and changes the Fabry-Perot cavity length. Further, the sliding distance of the measuring probe can be calculated after the variation of the Fabry-Perot cavity length measured in according with the Fabry-Perot principle.

Disclosed are a testing apparatus and a testing method. When the testing apparatus is used to test a sample (11) to be tested, a first detection apparatus (21) and a second detection apparatus (22) can be switched by means of an objective lens switching apparatus (20), so as to acquire height information and structure information of the sample (11) to be tested. In the process, the sample (11) to be tested does not need to be transferred between testing apparatuses, thus, not only is pollution potentially created in the process of transferring the sample (11) to be tested avoided, and the probability of the sample (11) to be tested being polluted in the testing process reduced, but also a region to be tested of the sample (11) to be tested does not need to be determined repeatedly, improving the testing speed for the sample (11) to be tested.

Embodiments of systems for classifying interference signals are disclosed. In an example, a system for classifying interference signals includes an interferometer including a light source and a detector, and at least one processor. The interferometer is configured to provide a plurality of interference signals each corresponding to a respective one of a plurality of positions on a surface of a semiconductor chip. A spectrum of the light source is greater than a spectrum of white light. The at least one processor is configured to classify the interference signals into a plurality of categories using a model. Each of the categories corresponds to a region having a same material on the surface of the semiconductor chip.

Described herein is non-grain composition, comprising at least a thermally inhibited or HMT waxy tapioca starch having a post-retort viscosity of less than 1500 centipoise. Such composition can be used for retort food applications, shelf-stable, thermally processed food applications, canned food applications: and/or aseptic packing and ultra-heat treated process food applications.

A detection device adapted to detect lens surface and a stitching interferometer including the same are disclosed. The detection device includes: a cylindrical detection frame comprising support bosses arranged on an inner wall of the detection frame in a circumferential direction of the detection frame, the lens to be detected being placed on the support bosses; and a plurality of support units mounted at a bottom of the detection frame in the circumferential direction of the detection frame, each of the support units comprising: a support mechanism configured to be movable in an axial direction of the detection frame and cooperate with the support bosses so as to support the lens to be detected together; and a balance mechanism configured to provide a balancing force for balancing with force of the support mechanism for supporting the lens to be detected, so that axial support force of each supporting unit for the lens to be detected is equal to axial support force of each support boss for the lens to be detected in both cases where the axial direction of the detection frame is parallel to a gravity direction of the lens to be detected and inclined with respect to the gravity direction of the lens to be detected.

An audio system including an optical microphone and an audio controller. The optical microphone includes a light source and a detector. In some embodiments, the light source illuminates skin of a user. Alternatively the optical microphone also includes a membrane, and the light source illuminates a portion of the membrane. Sounds from a local area cause vibrations in the skin (or vibrations in the membrane). The detector may be in an interferometric configuration or a non-interferometric configuration with the light source. The audio controller monitors the vibrations of the skin (or membrane) using signal output from the detector, and measures the sounds using the monitored vibrations.

An optical system can include a mirror that reflects incoming light to a sensor for detection. The position and/or orientation of the mirror can be controlled to reflect incoming light from different locations and/or directions. Position and/or orientation of the mirror may be tracked and/or detected by an optical position sensor. The position sensor can transmit a beam to a reflector on the mirror, and the reflected beam can be received by the position sensor. Characteristics of the reflected beam can be measured to determine the position and/or orientation of the mirror. For example, the beam can be used for interferometric and/or intensity measurements, which can then be correlated with a position and/or orientation of the mirror.

An optical inspection apparatus includes an interferometer module, which is configured to direct a beam of coherent light toward an area under inspection and to produce a first image of interference fringes of the area. The apparatus also includes a triangulation module configured to project a pattern of structured light onto the area, and at least one image sensor configured to capture the first image of interference fringes and a second image of the pattern that is reflected from the area. Beam combiner optics are configured to direct the beam of coherent light and the projected pattern to impinge on the same location on the area. A processor is configured to process the first and second images in order to generate a 3D map of the area.
