    摘要: Dental x-ray film is properly aligned with the x-ray beam utilizing a plurality of infrared emitters and detectors that are positioned circumferentially about the path of the x-ray beam. A reflecting surface whose plane is parallel with the plane of the x-ray film holder and integral therewith can be positioned parallel to the plurality of emitters and sensors by repositioning until the sensors receive a predetermined reflective response. Each sensor activates an indicator light seen on a display and when all the lights in a bank of lights are activated alignment is achieved. The output of the sensors can also be summed and when the sum output reaches a predetermined value an oscillator is triggered thus creating an audible tone indicating proper alignment.

    摘要: A sheathed syringe assembly including a syringe having a cylindrical body provided with a needle at one end thereof and a plunger slideably disposed within said cylindrical body for aspirating or dispensing substances into or from the cylindrical body. A sheath assembly comprised of inner and outer tubular members is attached to the cylindrical body. The inner tubular member is telescopically received in the outer member for reciprocal movement therein between a retracted position exposing said needle and an extended position covering said needle to prevent accidental needle stick. The sheath assembly is provided with a ratchet means for manually advancing said inner tubular member into the extended position with the same hand holding said syringe assembly.

    摘要: A first laser beam is reflected from the front and rear surfaces of a partially silvered glass slab generating a diverging set of interference fringes which are collimated by a positive lens. A second set of fringes is generated by a second laser beam and second partially silvered glass slab and is positioned to project through the first slab and is collimated by the same positive lens. The second pattern is aligned coaxially and mutually perpendicular to the first pattern creating a rectangular parallopiped grid pattern projected upon an observed object.

    摘要: Three-dimensional (3-D) topographic data defining a remote surface in terms of the 3-D positions of M.times.N sample points on that surface may be obtained by (1) illuminating the scene with an array of M.times.N (simultaneous) laser beams, (2) sequencing the array of laser beams through a series of mathematical patterns (space coding) by means of a programmable electro-optic shutter, (3) recording by an imaging device the illumination reflected from the surface during the projection of each mathematical pattern, (4) analyzing the images to obtain the three-dimensional locations of each of the M.times.N illuminated points on the surface which are visible to the camera or imaging device, and (5) determining which of the laser beams in the array are not visible to the imaging device. (N and M are any positive integers consistent with the device proposed; typically M=N=128, so that M.times.N=16384 points.) Mechanization for rapid three-dimensional mapping of the surface involves an array of laser beams illuminating the surface, a programmable electro-optic shutter to switch on and off subsets of laser beams in the array and thereby to input the space code projected on the surface, a (usually narrow bandpass) video camera to capture the reflected images of the space coded surface from a given perspective (and if necessary from various other aspect angles), and a device to synchronize the electro-optic shutter with the video camera. Space coding of the light beams is used to correlate each spot seen on the surface with the corresponding beam in the laser beam array. A space code for an array of beams arranged in M rows and N columns reduces the number of images, I, necessary for correlating all light spots seen on the surface to I=l+log.sub.2 N where N is also the number of columns of the electro-optic shutter whch can be individually switched. The device achieves 3-dimensional topographic mapping much faster than laser rangefinder and optical devices because it can locate M.times.N surface points with only l+log.sub.2 n images (or patterns); it has much greater signal to noise capability than conventional light devices (it can work in daylight for a great variety of surface textures and uses non-moving, vibration-free components during data collection), and it is unambiguous in its mathematical results for all illuminated and visible surface points within its operating range.The invention differs from stereophotogrammetry by using one "active" device (the laser beam array) and one passive camera rather than two passive cameras as in conventional stereophotogrammetry. A system of several "active" devices (laser beam arrays) and several passive cameras is also comprehended if the object to be interrogated is very rough, convoluted, or has many sides.
