Did You Know...
...that in the early 1940s GE engineer James Wright was charged with a task of utmost importance to the war effort: develop a cheap substitute for rubber that could be used to produce tires, gas masks and a whole host of military gear. Wright tackled the task diligently -- and wound up inventing Silly Putty.

| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7852493 | Optical recording of the spatial shape of bodies and body parts with sections that in part are not optically visible There is described a method and an apparatus for the optical 3D digitization of bodies and body parts which reveal non-visible regions which therefore cannot be detected by the 3D digitizer. A mechanical aid is fixed at these regions and protrudes into the measureme... | 12/14/2010 |
| 7489813 | Method and system for detecting the three-dimensional shape of an object The invention relates to a method for detecting the three-dimensional shape of an object (2) during which an object (2) provided with photogrammetrically evaluable marks (4) is placed on a surface (5) at a predetermined location. This sur... | 02/10/2009 |
| 7446884 | Method for optically detecting the spatial form of inside spaces and a device for carrying out said method A cost-effective method for detecting the three-dimensional shape of interior spaces such as footwear, prosthesis funnels, etc. is described. For this purpose the inner wall of the interior space is lined with a formfitting, elastic and photogrammetrically marked en... | 11/04/2008 |
| 7433502 | Three-dimensional, digitized capturing of the shape bodies and body parts using mechanically positioned imaging sensors There is described a photogrammetric method and an arrangement for the three-dimensional digitizing of bodies and body parts (26) which are covered with a marked, elastic cover (14), which comprises high-contrast marks which are photogrammetrically ana... | 10/07/2008 |
| 7298890 | Method and arrangement for the photographically detecting the spatial form of an object A method of detecting the 3D shape of an object by photogrammetry, in which a plurality of photogrammetric point markers and a plurality of connecting markers are provided on the surface of the object, each connecting marker connecting a subset of the plurality of p... | 11/20/2007 |
| 7298889 | Method and assembly for the photogrammetric detection of the 3-D shape of an object For an automatic detection of the 3D shape of objects by photogrammetry, the background of the photogrammetric point markers is characterized by area markers which comprise a plurality of point markers and have a characteristic optical configuration that is expresse... | 11/20/2007 |
| 7209586 | Method and arrangement for detecting the spatial form of an object The invention relates to a method of detecting the 3D shape of objects, in which the object is pressed into a plastically deformable mass provided with markers adapted to be evaluated photogrammetrically. After removal of the object from the marked mass, a plurality... | 04/24/2007 |
| 7095886 | Arrangement and method for producing photogrammetric image records In the automatic photogrammetric 3D digitization of a body or body part marked e.g. by an envelope provided with photogrammetric target markers, the camera employed for image recording has additional light pattern projectors added thereon which are fastened to the c... | 08/22/2006 |
