SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING PARTICLE GENERATION IN GLASS-TO-GLASS CONTACT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18521591 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING PARTICLE GENERATION IN GLASS-TO-GLASS CONTACT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a particle detection system for glass articles, utilizing a light source to create a light sheet directed below the glass articles, with a camera capturing images of particles falling through the light sheet in a time-resolved manner.
- Light source emits light beam formed into a light sheet
- Camera captures images of particles falling through light sheet
- Optics shape light beam into light sheet
- System can include a laser light source
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in industries where the detection of particles in glass articles is crucial, such as in glass manufacturing, quality control, and research laboratories.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently detecting and capturing images of particles falling through glass articles in a non-intrusive and time-resolved manner.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved quality control in glass manufacturing processes, enhanced research capabilities in studying particle behavior in glass articles, and increased efficiency in identifying and analyzing particles.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be commercially applied in glass manufacturing plants, research laboratories, and quality control facilities to enhance particle detection and analysis processes.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be systems using cameras and light sources for particle detection in various materials, but specific applications for glass articles may not have been addressed in the same manner.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle different sizes of particles falling through the light sheet?
The patent application does not specify how the system distinguishes or captures images of particles of varying sizes. It would be important to understand the system's capabilities in this regard for practical implementation.
What is the resolution of the camera used in capturing images of particles?
The patent application does not mention the resolution of the camera employed in capturing images of particles. Knowing the camera's resolution would provide insights into the level of detail and accuracy in particle detection and analysis.
Original Abstract Submitted
A particle detection system and method for glass articles is provided. The system includes a light source that emits a light beam, the light beam being formed into a light sheet and being directed to an area below the glass articles; and a camera to capture an image of an inspection area within the light sheet. The inspection area may be located below the glass articles. The system can include optics to shape the light beam into the light sheet. The light source can be a laser light source. Particles falling through the light sheet in the inspection area are illuminated and an image of them is captured by the camera in a time-resolved manner.
