  • Patent number: 11975402
    Abstract: A beam machining head (10; 100; 200) for beam cutting of a workpiece is provided, having an interface (12) for an energy beam source (14; 14, 201) for generating a focused machining energy beam (15; 206) selected from a particle beam source, a fuel fluid beam source, a plasma beam source and/or a source for electromagnetic radiation; an exit opening (16) for the machining energy beam bounded by an opening edge (18); an optical detector unit (19) for recording at least one image of an electromagnetic radiation (17) emitted from the workpiece (11) through the exit opening into the beam machining head (10; 100; 200) and induced in the workpiece by the machining energy beam; and a monitoring unit (30) connected in a data-transmitting manner to the optical detector unit for monitoring a positional relationship between a centre of the emitted electromagnetic radiation and the exit opening, wherein the monitoring unit (30) has: a first determination module for determining at least one position (180; 182) of the exit

  • Patent number: 11255505
    Abstract: A vehicle headlight includes a low beam light module and a appearance light module, which are embodied, arranged and designed such that, in a low beam mode, less than 30% of the light intensity emitted by the vehicle headlight with respect to a vertical orientation above the light-shadow line and with respect to the horizontal orientation in the direction of travel, is generated by the low beam light module.
