Title: Innovations of Jeffery A Hooker
Introduction
Jeffery A Hooker is an accomplished inventor based in Melbourne Beach, FL (US). He is known for his innovative contributions to the field of surface characterization technology. His work has led to advancements that enhance the speed and efficiency of measuring three-dimensional contours of objects.
Latest Patents
Jeffery A Hooker holds a patent for an "Apparatus and method for high-speed characterization of surfaces." This invention allows for the rapid determination of a three-dimensional contour of an object. The apparatus directs a laser beam onto a point on an object, and the scattered light is received by a position-sensitive detector (PSD). The location at which scattered light is received can be related to the displacement of the point on the object, using basic trigonometry. The laser beam is deflected non-mechanically by passing it through a crystal whose index of refraction is varied in a controlled manner. By properly controlling the index of refraction, the beam can scan across a desired area of the object without using any moving parts. This capability enables the device to obtain complete information about the contour of the object. The device operates without making any conventional images, making it significantly faster than comparable devices of the prior art. Additionally, the laser and beam deflector can be housed in a small optical head, allowing the device to reach normally inaccessible areas. The device can compare the test object with a reference object or can compare two objects for differences.
