Title: Verfahren zur dreidimensionalen optischen Vermessung von Objektoberflächen
Inventor: ALBRECHT PETER
IPC: G06T7/55
Filed: 1999-11-03
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur dreidimensionalen optischen Vermessung von Objektoberflächen mittels einer digitalen Kamera (nachfolgend Kamera genannt), bei dem die Objektkoordinaten aus den Grauwertverläufen der von der Kamera auf deren Sensor erzeugten Bilder der Objektoberfläche bestimmt werden. Die Erfindung ist besonders geeignet für die Vermessung von statischen Objektoberflächen. DOLLAR A Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, daß die Verfolgung von Merkmalen (Kanten, Ecken) bzw. Pixelblöcken mit ausreichender Struktur von einem Bild, das in der Anfangsposition der Kamera erzeugt wurde, bis zu einem Bild, das in der Endposition der Kamera erzeugt wurde, einfacher bzw. mit höherer Sicherheit durchführbar ist, wenn diese Verfolgung schrittweise über ein oder mehrere Bilder erfolgt, die in Kamera-Positionen erzeugt wurden, die zwischen der Anfangs- und der Endposition der Kamera liegen (nachfolgend "Zwischenpositionen" genannt). DOLLAR A Der besondere Vorteil der Erfindung besteht demnach darin, daß der in der Stereofotogrammetrie übliche Kompromiß zwischen großer und kleiner Basisbreite (Abstand der Kameras zueinander) elegant gelöst wird.

Abstract: The present invention is a pretrip routine for testing a
refrigeration system (10) comprising a series of tests for testing
aspects of mechanical operation of various individual
components of the refrigeration system. In a preferred
embodiment, a control unit (100) executes the method of the
invention by first testing mechanical operation of a
refrigeration system compressor (12), then tests for leaks in high-to-low-side
valves (34-40) of a refrigeration system, before testing
for leaks in a discharge test valve (18). A control unit may also
test the opening/closing operation of various refrigeration
system valves before, intermediate or subsequent to executing
the above tests. The pretrip routine of the invention
validates operation of a refrigeration system as a whole by
testing the mechanical operation of individual system
components, and, in testing the operation of those various
system components, readily isolates the source of a particular
problem within a particular component of a refrigeration
system.

Abstract: A compression chamber (14) is formed in a housing (2) around a closing piston (5), and defined upstream by the end wall of the housing and downstream by a peripheral sealing gasket (7) carried by the piston. The closing piston has an internal passage (9) which has an inlet (9a) open into the compression chamber, and an outlet (9b) communicating with an injection outlet. The injection outlet of the connector is located downstream from the gasket which is carried by the rigid and non-deformable piston. The housing is defined in a case (1) and accessible through an injection inlet duct (3) open into the housing through the housing end wall. The housing communicates with the injection outlet. The inlet duct is designed to enable the injection head to be inserted with lateral sealing into the duct towards the housing. The piston can move in the housing and inlet duct between upstream position and downstream position. A spring (12) urges the piston towards the upstream position. The compression chamber is accessible to the liquid injected by the injection head, and communicates with the outlet of the connector. The volume of the compression chamber varies with the displacement of the closing piston so that the withdrawing of the injection head causes the volume of the compression chamber to reduce and excess liquid in the chamber is expelled towards the injection outlet.
