Application No. 09/111,978
10. A monitor 34 is also provided to display images (Col. 4, line 9).
11. The system 10 may include input/output circuits 30 to allow the
system 10 to communicate with one or more external peripheral devices such as a drive
31 or robots, programmable controllers, etc. having one or more stages (Col. 3, lines
44-47).
12. With reference to Fig. 1, U.S. Patent 5,464,733 states (emphasis
added):
The drive 31 provides relatively uniform and continuous movement between the
object 14 and the head 12. The I/O circuits 30 may support a three-axis stepper
board (i.e. supports multiple axis control) or other motion boards. (Col. 3, lines
48-52)
13. With reference to Fig. 2, U.S. Patent 5,464,733 states (emphasis
added):
[A] camera of the optical head 12 preferably includes a solid-state image sensor
such as a tri-linear array camera 24. For example, the camera 24 may be the
Kodak CCD chip model KLI-2103 which has 3 rows of detector or sensing
elements 25 each having 2098 CCD sensing elements per row. Each row is
physically separated by a distance equivalent to 8 pixel elements. The camera 24
was originally designed for color scanning with a red, green, and blue color mask
over each element, respectively. For the present invention, the masks are not used
but rather are removed. (Col. 3, lines 53-63)
14. Referring again to Fig. 2, U.S. Patent 5,464,733 states (emphasis
added):
[G]enerally, multiple images with different phases are obtained by moving the
surface 18 of the object 14 while keeping a pattern 36 projected by a light strip
projector 38 and the camera 24 stationary with respect to each other within the
optical head 12. The optical head 12 (i.e. when the system 10 is a scanning moiré
system) has no mechanical or optical mechanism that changes the position of the
projected pattern 36. To obtain multiple phase images, there is relative movement
between the optical head 12 and the measured surface 18. (Col. 4, lines 10-19)
