Stereo-Measurement Borescope With 3-D Viewing

View page
US Patent:
7564626, Jul 21, 2009
Filed:
Dec 18, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/640716
Inventors:
Clark A. Bendall - Syracuse NY, US
Raymond Lia - Auburn NY, US
Jon R. Salvati - Skaneateles NY, US
Theodore A. Chilek - Skaneateles NY, US
Assignee:
GE Inspection Technologies LP - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
G02B 27/22
US Classification:
359462, 600101, 382128
Abstract:
Two stereo images are created by splitting a single image into two images using a field of view dividing splitter. The two images can be displayed side by side so that they can be viewed directly using stereopticon technology, heads-up display, or other 3-D display technology, or they can be separated for individual eye viewing. The two images focus on one imager such that the right image appears on the right side of the monitor and the left image appears on the left side of the monitor. The view of the images is aimed to converge at a given object distance such that the views overlap 100% at the object distance. Measurement is done with at least one onscreen cursor.

US Patent:
7630148, Dec 8, 2009
Filed:
Jun 11, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/136839
Inventors:
Dongmin Yang - Syracuse NY, US
Theodore A. Chilek - Skaneateles NY, US
Thomas Karpen - Skaneateles NY, US
Assignee:
GE Inspection Technologies, LP - Lewistown PA
International Classification:
G02B 9/08
US Classification:
359740, 359676, 359664, 359738, 600109, 600168
Abstract:
An optical system for a remote video inspection device including an elongated probe for inspection of target objects, comprising: an imager located distally within the probe, wherein the imager receives an image of the target object; a focus lens group located within the probe, the focus lens group comprising a variable aperture and at least one focus lens; a zoom lens group located within the probe, the zoom lens group comprising at least one zoom lens, wherein the movement of the zoom lens group in relation to the imager changes the magnification of the image; a tip lens located further from the imager than the focus lens group and the zoom lens group, wherein the distance between the tip lens and the imager is fixed; wherein a first movement of the focus lens group proportional to the movement of the zoom lens group provides an initial image focus, and a second movement of the focus lens group independent of the movement of the zoom lens provides a final image focus and proportional changes to the size of the variable aperture.

System For Providing Two Position Zoom-Focus

US Patent:
7961401, Jun 14, 2011
Filed:
Dec 23, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/645636
Inventors:
Joshua Lynn Scott - Jordan NY, US
Clark Alexander Bendall - Syracuse NY, US
Theodore Alexander Chilek - Skaneateles NY, US
Assignee:
GE Inspection Technologies, LP - Lewistown PA
International Classification:
G02B 15/14
US Classification:
359676
Abstract:
A system for providing a two-position zoom-focus capability in a video inspection device comprising, in one embodiment, a focus lens cell and primary aperture attached to a set of fixed rails and connected to a zoom lens cell. In one embodiment, the focus lens cell is moveable into a first position along the rails through activation of a proximally located lens movement mechanism, and moveable into a second position through relaxation of a tensioned focus spring. In one embodiment, movement of the focus lens cell between first and second focus positions causes movement of the zoom lens cell and a secondary aperture between corresponding first and second zoom and aperture positions to provide unmagnified and magnified images of a target object.

US Patent:
20130027527, Jan 31, 2013
Filed:
Jul 26, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/190672
Inventors:
Joshua Lynn Scott - Jordan NY, US
Clark Alexander Bendall - Syracuse NY, US
Theodore Alexander Chilek - Skaneateles NY, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
H04N 7/18
H05K 7/20
US Classification:
348 61, 361697, 348E07085
Abstract:
Embodiments of an inspection system deploy active cooling to dissipate heat in a portable handset. In one embodiment, the inspection system comprise a visual inspection apparatus with a handle portion and a head portion coupled to the handle portion. The head portion can have a display and a circuit board coupled to the display and a heat sink in thermal connection with the circuit board. To facilitate active cooling, the apparatus may include an air moving device in flow connection with the heat sink, where the air moving device comprises a motor and an impeller and where the motor and the circuit board are sealed from the environment.
