| 20090158315 | METHOD FOR EMBEDDING FRAMES OF HIGH QUALITY IMAGE DATA IN A STREAMING VIDEO - A method for embedding frames of image data in a streaming video is disclosed, comprising the steps of receiving a plurality of frames of image data of a target object over a period of time; compressing the plurality of frames of image data; embedding the plurality of compressed frames of image data in a streaming video; initiating a control signal during the period of time to embed a particular frame of image data; selecting a frame of image data from the plurality of frames of image data received near the time the control signal is initiated; embedding a user data marker in the streaming video; and embedding the selected frame of image data in the streaming video as user data, wherein the embedded selected frame of image data has a higher quality than the embedded plurality of compressed frames of image data. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20110149413 | SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING TWO POSITION ZOOM-FOCUS - A system for providing a two-position zoom-focus capability in a video inspection device comprising, in one embodiment, a focus lens cell and primary aperture attached to a set of fixed rails and connected to a zoom lens cell. In one embodiment, the focus lens cell is moveable into a first position along the rails through activation of a proximally located lens movement mechanism, and moveable into a second position through relaxation of a tensioned focus spring. In one embodiment, movement of the focus lens cell between first and second focus positions causes movement of the zoom lens cell and a secondary aperture between corresponding first and second zoom and aperture positions to provide unmagnified and magnified images of a target object. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110205552 | FRINGE PROJECTION SYSTEM FOR A PROBE WITH INTENSITY MODULATING ELEMENT SUITABLE FOR PHASE-SHIFT ANALYSIS - An intensity modulating element for a probe having a plurality of light emitters for phase-shift analysis and measurement is disclosed. The intensity modulating element comprises a plurality of columns of a plurality of grating elements formed by two opposing patterns. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110210961 | METHOD OF DETERMINING THE PROFILE OF A SURFACE OF AN OBJECT - A method of determining the profile of a surface of an object is disclosed that does not require that the video inspection device be at a certain angle relative to the surface when an image of the surface is obtained (e.g., allows non-perpendicular captures of the image | 09-01-2011 |
