Benefits of technology

This technology uses an LED lamp or laser diode (LD) for providing uniform brightness over large areas like windows. It also includes a special lens made up of multiple layers of glass placed between two sheets of clear plastic called polyethylene terephthate (PET). By shining this mirror onto these surfaces at certain angles, it becomes possible to see how bent things look inside them without being noisy due to their bending nature. Additionally, there're some ways to measure its shape accurately through cameras attached to mobile devices such as smart phones.

Problems solved by technology

This patents describes an issue with detecting surface flaws during manufacturing processes when producing high-quality flat surfaces like glass or plastic panels that require precise alignment between parts. Manual inspectors can be time-consuming and subjective due to their ability to distinguish small differences from large variations caused by external factors like temperature changes over time. There have been attempts at developing automated methods for accurately identifying cracks and other issues associated with curved materials. However, current automatic techniques cannot effectively identify even minute imperfections which may lead to reduced functionality and reliability of the final product.
