US Patent:

6592354, Jul 15, 2003
Filed:

Dec 1, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/728241
Inventors:

Edward F. Kachnic - Douglasville GA
Benjamin J. Pryhoda - Lafayette CO
Assignee:

Avalon Vision Solutions, LLC - Lithia Springs GA
International Classification:

B29C 4576
US Classification:

425169, 425139, 425137
Abstract:

A part-forming machine having an infrared vision inspection system and a method for verifying the presence, absence and quality of molded parts therein wherein an infrared vision system is utilized. At least one infrared sensor is used in conjunction with a part-forming machine, wherein the infrared sensor takes an image of the part and/or mold based on infrared radiation emitted by the part/mold. Based on the infrared image, the part-forming machine responds thereto by activating ejectors and reimaging the part/mold, or continuing with the next molding step.

US Patent:

20030065420, Apr 3, 2003
Filed:

Sep 19, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/246974
Inventors:

Edward Kachnic - Douglasville GA, US
Benjamin Pryhoda - Lafayette CO, US
International Classification:

G06F019/00
US Classification:

700/204000, 700/108000
Abstract:

The present invention replaces the multiple controller systems by incorporating the controller of sensory devices with the part-forming machine controller (typically a personal computer), thereby producing a synergistic combination. More specifically, sensory devices such as, for exemplary purposes only, cameras, infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, or other sensing devices are connected directly to one or more preexisting serial, parallel or USB ports or other bus interfaces of the machine controller. By programming the machine controller or loading software therein, the machine controller can receive the input signal(s)/data from the sensory device, analyze the data, provide an output signal to the sensory device and communicate directly and contemporaneously with the machine controller software.

US Classification:

425/137000, 425/169000
Abstract:

A wireless image processing method and device for utilization in combination with a machine vision system, preferably a part-forming machine, wherein a wireless communicator delivers images to a host computer that can analyze the data and determine functionality to the manufacturing process, wherein the host computer can incorporate wireless components, wherein wireless signals can be sent and/or received to input/output modules to control the processes, and wherein the input/output modules can affect said control wirelessly, thereby minimizing and/or eliminating physical cabling and wiring constraints to enable smaller implementations, increased analysis capabilities, and improved price/performance ratios. Alternatively, an image analyzing means may be integrated with an image capturing means, wherein a control signal can be wirelessly communicated to affect the manufacturing process.
