  • Binary piezoelectric drive for lens focusing system
    Patent number: 4342935
    Abstract: A deflection arrangement is described which comprises several piezocrystal elements which are separately driven by a positive or a negative voltage. In this configuration, there is no elastic hysteresis. The arrangement is particularly suitable for automatic focusing systems.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 10, 1980
    Date of Patent: August 3, 1982
    Assignee: Discovision Associates
    Inventors: Michael Kallmeyer, Hans Rosch, Claus Scheuing, Bernhard Solf
  • Interferometer for determining the shape of an object
    Patent number: 4222669
    Abstract: This invention relates to an interferometric process, and particularly to a process for examining the planarity of surfaces.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 1977
    Date of Patent: September 16, 1980
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Albert Frosch, Gerhard Holzinger, Walter Jaerisch, Claus Scheuing
  • Arrangement for absorbing vibrations
    Patent number: 4101008
    Abstract: This invention is directed to an arrangement for compensating and absorbing vibratory oscillations of a driven spring-mass system by means of an auxiliary spring mass system. The drive for a main spring-mass system is designed such that it is guided along the same axis as the main system and oscillates out of phase with the main system.
