Latest Patents

Haubold’s listed patents address the detection of faults in flat glass, including float glass, and other transparent materials.

“Method and device for detecting faults in flat glass, especially drips, threads and lines” describes a system that uses a video camera to observe an illuminating pattern through glass or in its reflection. The pattern contains adjacent sections that differ in color or intensity. The camera produces signals based on the glass’s optical quality, and changes in those signals help identify defects such as drips, threads, and lines.

“Method and device for detecting faults in flat glass” also uses a camera and an illuminating device to evaluate transparent materials. In this approach, the illumination’s color or intensity changes in a defined manner. The camera monitors the illumination, and changes in two video signals are used to assess the material and detect faults.

Career Highlights

Haubold’s listed inventions apply optical inspection techniques to quality control in flat-glass production. By combining controlled illumination with video-signal analysis, the methods are designed to reveal imperfections that may affect the appearance or quality of glass sheets.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Edmund Paneff and Josef Droste as Haubold’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the listed patents.

Conclusion

Wolfgang Haubold’s patent work centers on camera-based inspection methods that use controlled lighting and signal analysis to detect defects in flat glass and other transparent materials.
