Patent number: 11580630Abstract: A method of inspecting images on printed products by a computer in a printing machine. Printed products are recorded and digitized by an image sensor of an image inspection system in the course of the image inspection process, and the computer compares them to a digital reference image. If deviations are found, the defective printed products are removed. The computer analyzes the deviations found in the course of the image inspection process together with further data from other system parts and from the machine, determines specific defect classes and the causes thereof based on the defects by machine learning processes, assigns the defects found in the image inspection process to the defect classes in a corresponding way, and displays the classified detected defects with their defect classes and causes to an operator of the machine so that the operator can initiate specific measures to eliminate the defect causes.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2021Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Frank Soltwedel, Robert Mueller, Jan Krieger, Frank Schumann, Peter Eisele

Patent number: 11288793Abstract: A method for inspecting printed products of a machine for processing printing substrates includes recording and digitizing produced printed products by using at least one image sensor and analyzing the printed products by using a computer to find potential defects. Defects in the printed products are detected by the computer by comparing the recorded and digitized printed image with a digital reference image, analyzing occurring deviations, and marking defective printed products in a manner suitable for removal. The computer spatially subdivides every digitized printed image into regions with deviations, calculates the time required to analyze every one of the regions, and terminates the analysis of a digitized printed image when the time required to analyze the regions exceeds a predefined value of time per digitized printed image.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2021Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Frank Schumann, Jan Krieger, Bennet Carstensen, Peter Eisele

Publication number: 20140206939Abstract: An endoscopic and/or medical device having an endoscope and/or a medical instrument, wherein the endoscope and/or the medical instrument, respectively, has a head piece, wherein in the endoscope and/or in the medical instrument, respectively, at least one heat generating component is arranged, and wherein the head piece has a heat exchange area for discharging the heat generated by the at least one heat generating component to outside the endoscope and/or the medical instrument, respectively. The device has a cooling attachment connectable to the endoscope and/or the medical instrument, respectively, the cooling attachment being configured for absorbing heat from the heat exchange area of the head piece and for dissipating heat via a cooling fluid flowing through the cooling attachment. The invention also relates to a cooling device for an endoscope and/or a medical instrument.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2014Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: KARL STORZ GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 8317683Abstract: An endoscope having a hollow shaft for inserting an image guide, so that the distal end of the shaft is configured at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the shaft and the shaft is closed at the distal end by means of an end piece provided with a pass-through borehole for the image guide. To create an endoscope with an image transmission system of sufficient image size and image quality that can be autoclaved for cleaning purposes, it is proposed with the invention that the image guide should be positioned in the shaft in such a way that the bending radius of the image guide in the area of the bending of the shaft is greater than the bending radius of the shaft in the area of the bending.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2009Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Karl Storz GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Andreas Efinger, Hans-Peter Eisele

Publication number: 20100298643Abstract: An endoscope, in particular for intubating an airway, includes a shaft, which in its distal end area includes a lens system for receiving an endoscopic image, and an endoscope head, which includes a first head section, which is connected with the shaft, as well as a second head section which includes an eyepiece, such that the second head section is configured tiltably in relation to the first head section, and such that the endoscope includes an image conductor, which is flexible at least in sections, for transmitting to the eyepiece the image captured by the lens system. The image conductor is surrounded by a protective tube that continues from the shaft as far as the second head section and is flexibly tiltable at least in sections. As a result, protection is afforded from both mechanical damage and from penetration of steam in superheated-steam sterilization.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2010Publication date: November 25, 2010Inventor: Hans-Peter Eisele

Patent number: 6889607Abstract: A method for mounting a printing master on a printing form cylinder includes readying a new print job with a printing-image length by releasing an unwinding spool, activating an unwinding spool drive for moving the printing master a length in circumferential direction of the cylinder on the circumferential surface by drawing the printing master to a rewinding spool and braking the unwinding spool for building tension. A preceding job image start is located on the surface facing the rewinding spool. A control device activates the unwinding spool drive and, before activation, data is produced in the control device regarding the length to be spooled forward, and the spools are fixed, after advancing the printing master a length, for insuring tension. A value is determined for the printing master length to be spooled forward, being at most the printing image length of the preceding print job plus a printing image spacing.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2003Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Peter Eisele, Gerhard Schlindwein, Andreas Schorpp
