20140029103 | OPTICAL BLACK SURFACE - The present invention relates to optical black material which absorbs light. The device has a plurality or matrix of cells, each cell by a specular and diffuse absorbing material generating mostly specular reflection which is captured. | 01-30-2014 |
20140204400 | OPTICAL LASER SCANNING MICROMETER - The present invention provides multiple improvements to optical-based laser scanning micrometers and providing a small handheld version laser scanning micrometer based on the these improvements. For added accuracy and reduction in unit size, a double sided coated mirror receiver reflects the beam back into the transmitter light source. For added accuracy, a Ronchi rule is repositioned one or more times to calibrate additional lookup table correction values. To compensate for barometric pressure change and temperature, two additional reference edges are added to be combined with the reference edges in the transmitter to generate to null out pressure and temperature at the passline measurement area. To minimize beam errors and for part locating, a third derivative is detected. Two or more parallel scanning beams are generated to null out cosine errors and to measure, taper and spherical parts. | 07-24-2014 |
20140260816 | OPPOSING FORCE TOOL DRIVE SYSTEM - The present invention discloses a fastener driver which operates by a push-pull mechanism instead of the standard rotational ratchet. | 09-18-2014 |

20090090012 | Multifunctional squaring jig - A universal squaring jig which may be used when welding various workpieces in perpendicular orientation. The squaring jig has two workpiece holders attached together by one or more support members. Each holder has three mating surfaces. The first and second mating surfaces together form a perpendicular interior corner. The first and third mating surfaces form a perpendicular exterior corner. Magnets are placed on both the first and third mating surfaces to hold workpieces in mating contact with the surfaces of the squaring jig during welding. | 04-09-2009 |
