Latest Patents
One of Triner's latest patents is the "High-density solid-state lighting array for machine vision applications." This innovative lighting unit utilizes a high-density array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) designed for automated visual inspection. The unique packing density of the diode array is determined by the physical size of the LED chips and the capabilities of die and wire bond operations. Each diode is mounted on an electrically insulated, thermally conductive base unit, which is connected to a heat dissipator. This design ensures a thermally conductive path from the LED chips to the heat dissipator, allowing the solid-state lighting array to produce extremely high illumination fields in both pulsed and continuous current modes.
Another significant patent is the "Non-contact perforation/pinhole detection system for opaque vessels." This system operates non-invasively to detect side wall perforations in containers at high line speeds. During inspection, the exterior of each container is illuminated while it is in the inspection area. Light from the interior of the container is focused through a lens to a video camera. Any perfor
