Abstract:
An implementation of a system, device and method for projecting a visual indicator against a surface is provided. A display projection system in a handheld sensor device (e. g. a handheld wall scanner) projects a static or computer-controlled dynamic pattern of light onto a surface being scanned to indicate a specific feature, such as existence of solid structures of wood, metal or plastic, electric or magnetic fields, or a disturbance of a field. The projected light may be controlled by a computer via an aperture to allow flexibility in what is projected, such as icons, lines, graphics, characters and colors.

Abstract:
A framing layout tool includes two squares each with two legs or blades 90. degree. apart. The squares are pivotally attached at their vertices by a pivot pin including a knurled locking nut. One of the squares includes a longitudinally aligned electronic plumb and level indicator on one of the legs. The other leg of that square includes indicia on a leg reference edge for indicating rise-over-run integers representative of the angular separation of that other leg and a leg of the other square. Indicia indicating the actual angle between such legs is also contained on an opposite reference edge of that other leg. The layout tool has particular utility for accurately marking the location of a plumb cut, seat cuts and a ridge cut in roof rafters where the blade of the second square is placed on an inclined rafter and oriented with the electronic level in a vertical plumb position. When a visual and auditory indication of exact plumb is obtained the clamping nut is locked. Using the locked device, the angle of inclination can be read and locked unit used to scribe cutting lines on a rafter to have the same inclination as the first measured rafter.

Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention include a system and method for differentiating one or more objects detected behind an opaque surface, comprising, a plurality of sensors, controlled by one or more processors, configured to collect in parallel, sensor data of the one or more objects behind an opaque surface, the one or more processors are configured to analyze the sensor data to identify estimated regions of the one or more objects behind the opaque surface, the one or more processors are further configured to differentiate the estimated regions of the one or more objects behind the opaque surface, and, the one or more processors are further configured to inform a user, via a user interface, of the one or more objects within the estimated regions behind the opaque surface.
