Color Sensor Insensitive To Distance Variations

View page
US Patent:
8542348, Sep 24, 2013
Filed:
Nov 3, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/938499
Inventors:
Martin Hardegger - Sargans, CH
Reto Berner - Aarau, CH
Richard Galera - Nashua NH, US
Suresh Nair - Amherst NH, US
Carl Meinherz - Malans, CH
Craig Martin Brockman - Windham NH, US
Elik I. Fooks - Lexington MA, US
Manfred Norbert Stein - Graubuenden, CH
Robert M. Black - Bolton MA, US
Assignee:
Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc. - Mayfield Heights OH
International Classification:
G01C 3/08
US Classification:
356 501, 356 301, 356 401, 356 51
Abstract:
A system for calibrating a color sensing pixel based upon the distance between the color sensing pixel and an object. The distance is determined by measuring the phase shift of electromagnetic radiation as reflected from the surface of the object compared with the wave profile of the electromagnetic radiation incident on the object surface. The color sensing pixel is associated with a Time-of-Flight (ToF) pixel which is employed to determine the distance of the color sensing pixel. The electromagnetic radiation can be from any part of the electromagnetic spectrum, in particular the infrared and visible light portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The color sensing pixel and the ToF pixel can reside on the same semiconductor or on disparate semiconductors.

International Classification:
G05B 23/02
US Classification:
340 31
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for defining a safety zone in an industrial automation environment. The method includes monitoring an object that approaches an operating zone where equipment is controlled within the operating zone. This includes determining the speed or direction that the object approaches the operating zone. The method includes dynamically adjusting a safety region in view of the determined speed or direction of the object and enabling or disabling the equipment within the operating zone based in part on the object entering the safety region.

International Classification:
H04N 7/18
US Classification:
348 91, 348E07085
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for utilizing time of flight sensors in an industrial automation environment. The method includes employing a multi pixel camera associated with a time of flight sensor to detect an object located within a defined or bounded target area, comparing pixels with adjacent pixels associated with an image of the object captured by the multi pixel camera, identifying the object as being a colored, texture, or highly reflective object, and controlling industrial machinery based on the identification of the object entering the target area.

Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc. - Mayfield Heights OH
International Classification:
G05B 9/02
G05B 15/02
US Classification:
700 79, 700 83
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for controlling industrial equipment in the performance of various industrial activities based on the detected body movement of a user in an industrial automation environment. The method includes employing a time-of-flight sensor to detect movement of a body part of the user, ascertaining whether or not the movement of the body part conforms to a recognized movement of the body part, interpreting the recognized movement of the body part as a performable action, and thereafter actuating industrial machinery to perform the performable action.

US Patent:
62783688, Aug 21, 2001
Filed:
Sep 30, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/409331
Inventors:
Ira B. Goldberg - Thousand Oaks CA
Ted M. McKinney - Riverside CA
Charles S. Hollingsworth - Thousand Oaks CA
Jonathan R. Engdahl - Chardon OH
Elik I. Fooks - Lexington MA
Assignee:
Rockwell Technologies, LLC - Thousand Oaks CA
International Classification:
G08B 1314
US Classification:
3405724
Abstract:
Multiple bits of information may be conveyed by passive target material incorporating filaments of magnetizable material having different magnetization functions and, in particular, different coercivities. Detection of the presence or absence of the individual filaments may be done remotely by measuring induced flux B as a function of an externally imposed magnetic field waveform and subjecting the measured induced flux signal to differentiation or Fourier transform techniques.
