LASER SCANNER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18151027 titled 'LASER SCANNER
The patent application describes a laser scanner with a laser transmitter, laser receiver, and an oscillating mirror coated with a thin metal film.
- The laser transmitter emits a laser towards an object, while the laser receiver captures the reflected laser.
- The oscillating mirror, coated with a thin metal film, reflects the received laser towards the receiver and allows penetration of external electromagnetic waves.
- The mirror surface coated with the thin metal film enables efficient reflection of the laser and dissipation of incident electromagnetic waves.
Potential Applications: - Industrial automation for precise object detection and measurement. - 3D scanning for manufacturing and quality control processes. - Robotics for navigation and obstacle avoidance.
Problems Solved: - Improved accuracy in laser scanning applications. - Enhanced signal reception and reflection efficiency. - Minimized interference from external electromagnetic waves.
Benefits: - Increased scanning precision and reliability. - Enhanced performance in challenging environments. - Versatile applications in various industries.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Laser Scanning Technology for Industrial Automation This technology can be utilized in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and research facilities for automated scanning and measurement tasks, improving efficiency and accuracy in production processes.
Prior Art: No prior art information available at this time.
Frequently Updated Research: There is ongoing research in the field of laser scanning technology, focusing on improving scanning speed, resolution, and integration with other systems.
Questions about Laser Scanner Technology: 1. How does the thin metal film coating on the mirror surface enhance the performance of the laser scanner? 2. What are the potential limitations of this laser scanning technology in real-world applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a laser scanner. The laser scanner includes a laser transmitter configured to output a laser radiated towards an object, a laser receiver configured to receive a laser reflected from the object, and an oscillating mirror of which a mirror surface is coated with a thin metal film to reflect the received laser reflected from the object and be penetrated by an electromagnetic wave incident from an outside the laser scanner. The received laser reflected from the object is reflected by the mirror surface of the oscillating mirror coated with the thin metal film and received by a laser receiver, and the electromagnetic wave incident from the outside the laser scanner penetrates the mirror surface of the oscillating mirror and then dissipates.
