  • Publication number: 20240153069
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for testing quality of an object in a real environment using a camera, an optical display device, and a processing apparatus, the method including the following steps: defining a test geometry and a reference geometry in a computer-assisted data mode; defining a test pose, in which the camera should be placed by the user as target positioning for a quality test to be carried out of the object to be tested; and visualizing the test pose on the optical display device. In a second phase, at least one image of the real environment is captured by the camera, the pose of which camera is in a range that includes the test pose, and the test geometry and the reference geometry in the image are tracked. Furthermore, a pose of the tracked test geometry in relation to the reference geometry and at least one parameter are determined on the basis of how the pose of the tracked test geometry is in relation to a target pose of the test geometry defined within the data model.

  • Publication number: 20220362745
    Abstract: The invention relates to membranes for separation, removal, and/or concentration purposes. The object of the invention is the simple and reliable adsorption of the molecules and to simplify the desorption of target molecules that are adsorbed and chromatographically bonded on membranes, preferably without the addition of substances with a high ion content, such as acids, alkalis or salts. The object of the invention is also to develop a value that can be easily measured, which allows for an indication of the current and/or remaining binding capacity of the membrane during the adsorption process and/or the control thereof. The adsorption takes place on a charged membrane and desorption is achieved using physical, electromagnetic and/or the generation of electrical fields. This is carried out with a thin metal layer being applied to one or both sides of a positively or negatively charged membrane and a voltage is applied for desorption.

  • Patent number: 10549754
    Abstract: A longitudinally guiding driver assistance system in a motor vehicle includes a detection system for detecting currently applying events and relevant events lying ahead, which require an adaptation of the permissible maximum speed, and a function unit which, when detecting a relevant event, while taking into account the location of the relevant event lying ahead, determines a location-dependent point in time, whose reaching causes the function unit to initiate an output of prompt information for permitting an automatic adaptation of the currently permissible maximum speed to a new permissible maximum speed. The function unit is designed, in the case of an activation of the longitudinally guiding driver assistance system, while taking into account a detected currently applying event, to initiate a first output of prompt information for permitting an automatic first setting of the currently applying permissible maximum speed as the new permissible maximum speed.
