  • Patent number: 10176628
    Abstract: In a method for creating a 3D representation of a recording object it is provided, with respect to recorded individual images (2, 3) from a recording object, to identify feature pixels (6, 7, 8, 9) respectively in a computer-aided manner by a feature detection, to calculate in a computer-implemented manner with respect to this feature pixels (6, 7, 8, 9), on the basis of correspondences in terms of content, respectively 3D points (11, 12) and camera poses (3, 4) of the individual images (2, 3), to fit at least one geometric primitive (14) into the calculated 3D points (11, 12) in a computer-implemented manner and to check in a plausibility check (15) whether a minimum discrepancy between the individual images (2, 3) results for the geometric primitive (14), and to output the geometric primitive (14) for which the discrepancy is minimized.

  • Patent number: 10156591
    Abstract: A current meter having a movably mounted swivel element, in which an angle is subtended between a first leg and a second leg of the swivel element. A free end of the first leg is coupled to the handle and a free end of the second leg is coupled to the first receiving element, these being movable relative to each other, so that upon activating the handle an activating force engaging with the first leg can be generated. The activating force can be converted by the swivel element into a displacement force on the second leg, directed transversely to the activating force, so that by this displacement force the first receiving element can be moved.

  • Publication number: 20170038092
    Abstract: For the automated adjustment of a heating system (2), there is produced between an exhaust-gas measuring device (1) and a control unit (26) a data connection (6) via which data, measurement values or control or setting signals for the adjustment of the heating system (2) are transmitted at least from the exhaust-gas measuring device (1) to the control unit (26). During the adjustment of the heating system (2), at least one exhaust-gas parameter is measured in automated fashion by way of at least one exhaust-gas sensor (4) of the exhaust-gas measuring device (1), and determined measurement values are automatically detected by the exhaust-gas measuring device (1). Then, a deviation of the determined measurement value from an exhaust-gas-parameter-specific and/or installation-specific setpoint value is determined, and in a manner dependent on the determined deviation, an automated adjustment of the heating system (2) is performed, said adjustment being initiated by the control unit (26) (cf. FIG. 1).
