Patent number: 8458908Abstract: The invention relates to a hair removal apparatus (100) having a base body (10) and a slide (20), which is mounted thereon to be movable (displaceably). At least one wet shaver unit (40) comprising a razor blade, such as a blade cartridge for wet shaving, is mounted on the slide. Due to the mobility of the slide (20), this wet shaver unit (40) is protected from damage in the event of impact of the hair removal apparatus, e.g., in a fall to the floor. Certain target positions of the slide (20) can be secured with a slip clutch, such that they become unlocked on exceeding a minimum force that is acting and thereby release a movement of the slide.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2008Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Braun GmbHInventors: Uwe Fischer, Xavier Perez-Lopez, Robert Schmidt, Andreas Larscheid

Patent number: 7998289Abstract: To produce a metallic shaped part (1), in particular a vehicle body part, from a semifinished product (2) made of an unhardened hot-workable steel sheet, first of all the semifinished product (2) is formed by a cold-forming method, in particular a drawing method, into a part blank (10) (process step II). The part blank (10) is then trimmed at the margins to a marginal contour (12?) approximately corresponding to the part (1) to be produced (process step III). Finally, the trimmed part blank (17) is heated and press-hardened in a hot-forming tool (23) (process step IV). The part (1) produced in the process already has the desired marginal contour (24) after the hot forming, so that the final trimming of the part margin is dispensed with. In this way, the cycle times during the production of hardened parts of steel sheet can be considerably reduced.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2003Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Martin Brodt, Uwe Fischer, Ralf Mehrholz

Patent number: 7954044Abstract: A method and apparatus for creating links between a representation, (e.g. text data,) and a realization, (e.g. corresponding audio data,) is provided. According to the invention the realization is structured by combining a time-stamped version of the representation generated from the realization with structural information from the representation. Thereby so called hyper links between representation and realization are created. These hyper links are used for performing search operations in realization data equivalent to those which are possible in representation data, enabling an improved access to the realization (e.g. via audio databases).Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2008Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Uwe Fischer, Stefan Hoffmann, Werner Kriechbaum, Gerhard Stenzel

Publication number: 20100299927Abstract: The invention relates to a hair removal device such as for example an electric shaver or a wet shaver, comprising a main device element (10, 20) which accounts for the major portion of the overall weight, and a separate element (30, 40) which can be coupled therewith and which comprises for example a wet-shave blade cartridge (40). The separate element (30, 40) is connected to the main device element (10, 20) via a coupling (23, 33). Said coupling (23, 33) is designed to open under the effect of forces that exceed a minimum force. When the hair removal device (100) is dropped, the separate element (30, 40) is not damaged despite the comparatively greater weight of the hair removal device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2008Publication date: December 2, 2010Inventors: Uwe Fischer, Xavier Perez-Lopez, Markus Schuessler, Andreas Larscheid
