  • Patent number: 10279442
    Abstract: A robot includes a movable robot arm, at least one actuator for moving the robot arm, and a tool attached to the robot arm for adjusting the track of a wheel by turning of a track rod of a motor vehicle. The tool includes a tool head and a tool handle connecting the tool head to the robot arm. The tool head has a slot-shaped opening in a distal end, which is remote from the robot arm, for introducing a track rod with a thickness that is less than or equal to 20%, and preferably less than and equal to 15% of the tool head from the distal end to the connection to the tool handle.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110025187
    Abstract: The invention relates to a low-pressure gas-discharge lamp which, with its light in the red spectral region, influences the biological circadian rhythm by controlling melatonin secretion. The tubular glass discharge vessel, which can also be in the shape of a double helix, is filled with a noble gas or noble-gas mixture and mercury. Electrodes for the supply of energy are arranged at both ends of the discharge vessel. The discharge vessel is multicoated on the inside by phosphor layers applied one after the other. The first phosphor layer located on the glass surface consists of phosphor which is excited both by ultraviolet mercury radiation between 180 nm and 400 nm and also by the blue radiation between 400 nm and 490 nm emitted by the mercury discharge, and by the visible radiation emitted by the second or further phosphor layers between 400 nm and 550 nm, where visible light having emission maxima in the region between 500 nm and 650 nm is generated.

  • Patent number: 7415896
    Abstract: The invention relates to a force and angle sensor for measuring the angle of rotation of a shaft (3) and a force exerted on a torsion rod (303), which interconnects two shaft parts (32, 33) of the shaft (3). In a housing (2), through which the shaft (3) runs, are arranged a main circuit board (4) arranged non-rotatably in relation to the housing (2) and which has a central opening (12), through which the shaft (3) runs, a first circuit board (5) for measuring the angle of rotation arranged non-rotatably on a first shaft part (32) on one side of the main circuit board (4), said first circuit board having a central opening (51) through which the first shaft part (32) runs, and a second circuit board (6) for measuring the force connected non-rotatably to the other shaft part (33) on the other side of the main circuit board (4), said second circuit board having a central opening (51) through which the other shaft part (33) runs.
