    • Fast image acquisition and image process control are used to advantage to measure dynamic and transient phenomena. This technique distinguishes fluid from bubbles by taking an image of a container containing fluid and modifying the gray levels of the image. Unmodified image processing can be performed without the disadvantage of large time consumption. The technique is used for detecting fluid levels and bubbles, by counting image pixels dedicated to bubbles or to fluid along vertical or horizontal lines within the image. The rate of change of liquid level and the amount of bubbles with time indicate leakage in containers while they are in a dynamic state. The inspection of transient phenomena during a dynamic state gives an indication of the final quality and quantity of a product inside a container. It also provides feedback for the determination of fill nozzle operation, with the advantage of easy calibration and adjustment for the right amount of bubbles within the container. It also provides an indication of mechanical or thermal failures and feedback to indicate any unit which deviates from preset parameters. The system is highly beneficial in the beer and soft drink industry where the taste of the product is highly influenced by the amount of bubbles within the container.

    • A system for measuring the distance of an examined surface from a reference plane includes two detectors and a radiation source for directing a beam along a path which includes a first focussing lens for focussing the beam as a spot on the surface and reflecting it. A collecting lens converts the reflected radiation to a reflected beam. A splitter directs part of the reflected beam through a second path which includes a second focussing lens for focussing part of the reflected beam onto a surface of the first detector. Its position on the first detector corresponds to the distance of the examined surface under the spot from the reference plane, according to by a first equation with two terms: a first drawback error and a first surface displacement. The other part of the reflected beam propagates through a splitter and along a third path which includes a third focussing lens for focussing the other part of the reflected beam onto a second spot on a surface of the second detector. Its position on the second detector corresponds to the distance of the examined surface from the reference plane according to a second equation with two terms: a second drawback error and a second surface displacement. The second and third focussing lenses cause the first and second equations to be independent. A processing unit utilizes the outputs of the detectors to measure the distance of the examined surface from the reference plane.

    • A method for calibrating and improving linearity of a system for scanning moving objects. A type of scanning system and a set of parameters to define the scanning system are selected. A set of initial values for some of the parameters are also selected and mathematical equations are derived which describe physical movements of the scanning and relationships between the parameters. The equations are solved to find values for the parameters with which the objects are scanned by an incident light with linearity and a predetermined accuracy. The parameters of the scanning system are then set to the values obtained by solving the equations. The system itself consists of a rotating polygon (34) and a rotating carousel (42) having predetermined axes of their rotation. The polygon (34) has a plurality of facets (46) which are symmetric with respect to the polygon's axis of rotation. The carousel supports objects, such as bottles (36, 37, . . . 41) which also may have spinning motions. The system may operate in a reading mode when objects are illuminated by an incident light beam which is reflected and is directed to a processing unit, or in a writing mode when the surfaces of the objects are treated, e.g., by a laser beam for engraving marks while the objects are moved by the carousel (42) and spin around their own axes.
