  • Gripping tools for a laser cutting machine for sorting parts
    Patent number: 12204831
    Abstract: A design unit and a computer-implemented method for calculating a design data set for designing a part-specific gripping tool for gripping parts that have to be transported from or to a processing machine is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing part parameters for at least one part which is to be gripped with the part-specific gripping tool and executing a design algorithm which designs the part-specific gripping tool from the part parameters provided and thereby outputs a gripping tool data set as a result.

  • Method for obtaining underground imagery using a ground-penetrating radar
    Patent number: 6771206
    Abstract: A method for using ground-penetrating radar to obtain subsurface imaging. The radar comprises resources for transmitting, receiving and processing signals. In one method embodiment, signals are transmitted from a fixed point relative to the subsurface and with the aid of at least two electrical antennae. Signals reflected or backscattered by reflectors or diffusers of the said subsurface are received by way of the electrical antennae and by way of three magnetic antennae. Finally, the reflected or backscattered signals are processed using an algorithm to obtain the imaging of the said subsurface.
