Patent number: 9170085Abstract: A device for detecting the position of an actuator has a conductor arrangement, which detects magnetic fluxes flowing therethrough and converts same into a voltage signal that is dependent on the position, at which the magnetic flux penetrates the conductor arrangement. The induced voltage signal is proportional to the position of the magnetic flux, measured along a predetermined axis starting from a predetermined starting point. A position-determining unit is connected to the conductor arrangement for determining the position of a magnetic flux generated by the actuator and passing though the conductor arrangement. A transmission unit, by way of which the determined position is transmitted to a receiver, is arranged downstream of the position-determining unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2011Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignees: AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, Seibersdorf Labor GmbHInventors: Manfred Bammer, Gernot Schmid

Patent number: 9068978Abstract: Optical measurement methods are described that are suitable for determining the relaxation behavior of nanoparticles dispersed in a solution. The particles have optically anisotropic properties and are alignable by an external stimulus, for example, an electric or magnetic field. In this manner the optical detection of certain molecules that can bind specifically to the surface of the nanoparticles and thus change the relaxation behavior of the nanoparticles as well as to provide devices for carrying out the methods is possible.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2009Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignees: Tecnet Equity NOE Technologiebeteiligungs-Invest GmbH, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbHInventors: Hubert Brückl, Jörg Schotter, Ole Bethge

Patent number: 8793084Abstract: A method records and transmits data between a transmission unit that has a first antenna and a measurement module which has a sensor for recording measured variables and converts the measured variables into electric signals. Data is bi-directionally transmitted between the measurement module and the transmission unit located within the near field of the measurement module by use of a second antenna that is arranged on the measurement module. The electromagnetic energy of the signal that is applied to the second antenna is transformed and temporarily stored by a reception unit which is arranged downstream of the second antenna. The first antenna of the transmission unit is put in an inactive state at least during the time the measured variables are sensed by the measurement module or the sensors.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2009Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbHInventors: Rudolf Heer, Hubert Brueckl, Hans Kroath, Juergen Wissenwasser

Patent number: 8780240Abstract: A method for continuously generating a (grayscale) map of a scene in electronic form, characterized by high time resolution and minimal data volume, is presented. The method involves repeated measurement of the instantaneous exposure of the image elements in an image sensor, the start of every exposure measurement being determined autonomously and asynchronously by every image element independently, and hence the redundancy which is typical of synchronous image sensors in the image data to be transmitted being largely suppressed. The stimulation for the purpose of exposure measurement is provided by the autonomous detection of a relative light intensity change in the scene detail which the image element views, by the transient detector in the respective image element. To increase the signal-to-noise ratio and the dynamic range, the exposure measurement is preferably performed on the basis of time, that is to say the exposure of an image element is represented by the period between two asynchronous events.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2007Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbHInventors: Christoph Posch, Martin Litzenberger, Daniel Matolin, Rainer Wohlgenannt

Publication number: 20140079582Abstract: We describe a lattice part made of metal and a method for producing a lattice part made of metal or a metal alloy. The lattice has a thickness of less than 1 mm at a size of the gaps of less than 50 mm2. The lattice (5) comprises a connection made of knots, and perpendicular to the lattice surface has lattice bars and lattice knots of the same thickness. A method for the production of a lattice part made of metal, particularly made of light alloy, is characterized by a primary shaping process according to DIN 8580, wherein a mold is formed in the first step, a primary material is introduced in the mold cavity in the second step, the part is removed from the mold in the third step, and the finishing of the metallic lattice part is carried out in the fourth step.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2013Publication date: March 20, 2014Applicant: AIT AUSTRIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: RUDOLF ZAUNER, FRANZ RIEMELMOSER, MANFRED BAMMER

Patent number: 8333104Abstract: A measuring device for detecting and evaluating an impact, jolt or the like is formed with an impact face, against which the impact, jolt or pulse which is to be evaluated strikes. A sensor, for example a force sensor, detects values of the force which act on the impact face as a result. A sensor, for example an acceleration sensor, detects values of the acceleration which act on the impact face as a result. An evaluation unit processes the determined force and acceleration values.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2007Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbHInventor: Andreas Oberleitner
