An alignment device for use in mobile radiography. In contrast to prior practice in which a film cassette is placed on one side of the patient, an x-ray source on the other, and it is left to the skill of the technician to approximate the necessary alignment, the present invention assures consistent alignment much more precise than is typically achieved. The precise alignment allows regular use of...

In a process for monitoring a device for automatically detecting and evaluating surface cracks by means of magnetic powder or the dye penetration process comprising an image pick-up camera and a digital image processing and control unit, a typical defect pattern is projected by means of a projector onto the surface of the article to be examined in the pick-up region of the image pick-up camera and...

A method for regulating the flow of liquid metal to an atomization zone is provided. The regulation is effected by imparting a high density flux to a stream of liquid metal as it descends toward the atomization zone. The high density flux is applied by a flux concentrator. The flux concentrator is a small sleeve-like element attached by parallel conductors to a larger sleeve-like element which act...

Laser power is delivered at normal intensities or powers to the end of a laser guide such as an articulated arm from a laser console where the beam enters an attached attenuating unit. Inside the attenuator, the beam encounters a dual wavelength beam splitter that transmits an attenuated beam at, for example, 20 times reduction of power. The attenuated beam may be delivered to an area of medical t...

In a guidance system for guiding an automated vehicle around an area such as a warehouse, a scanning laser beam from a source mounted on the vehicle impinges upon reflectors located around the area. Each reflector incorporates an optical code which identifies that reflector. Laser light reflected back to the vehicle from the reflectors is used to control the movement and heading of the vehicle. Th...
