  • Publication number: 20240127561
    Abstract: A method for representing virtual information in a view of a real environment comprises providing a virtual object having a global position and orientation with respect to a geographic global coordinate system, with first pose data on the global position and orientation of the virtual object, in a database of a server, taking an image of a real environment by a mobile device and providing second pose data as to at which position and with which orientation with respect to the geographic global coordinate system the image was taken. The method further includes displaying the image on a display of the mobile device, accessing the virtual object in the database and positioning the virtual object in the image on the basis of the first and second pose data, manipulating the virtual object or adding a further virtual object, and providing the manipulated virtual object with modified first pose data or the further virtual object with third pose data in the database.

  • Publication number: 20150334997
    Abstract: An aquarium or aquatic system such as a fish tank for the safe and clean containment of a plurality of aquatic specimens such as fish, segregated from one another by a series of divider panels aligned within that tank. The divider panels are spaced from the walls and floor of that tank so as to permit a “bottom current” flow of water under those divider panels to sweep away the debris accumulating in each of those chambers, and then into a collection unit such as a series of filters, filtration system or water processors which thus treats and cleans the water and preferably reintroduces that water back into the upstream end of that water flow.

  • Patent number: 7446344
    Abstract: A radiation-emitting semiconductor chip, having a multilayer structure (100) containing a radiation-emitting active layer (10), and having a window layer (20), which is transmissive to a radiation emitted by the active layer (10) and is arranged downstream of the multilayer structure (100) in the direction of a main radiating direction of the semiconductor component. The window layer (20) has at least one peripheral side area (21), which, in the course from a first main area (22) facing the multilayer structure (100) in the direction toward a second main area (23) remote from the multilayer structure (100), firstly has a first side area region (24) which is beveled, curved or stepped in such a way that the window layer widens with respect to the size of the first main area (22). A peripheral side area (11) of the multilayer structure (100) and at least a part of the beveled, curved or stepped first side area region (24) are coated with a continuous electrically insulating layer (30).

  • Patent number: 5348665
    Abstract: The degradation of harmful substances in water by compounds, such as hydrogen peroxide, which form hydroxyl radicals under UV irradiation in continuous reactors is improved when the irradiation is carried out in a reactor with a specific reactor volume of at least 10 liters per kW of the UV radiator or radiators, and if the amount of water to be treated is 0.25 to 25 times the amount of the intrinsic volume of the reactor flows through the reactor per hour. It is particularly preferred that the water volume per hour to be treated is 0.25 to 10 times the intrinsic reactor volume.
