  • Patent number: 9741316
    Abstract: A method for displaying pixels on display devices, comprising the steps of (a) Providing virtual pixel storage means, preferably one or more virtual frame buffers (6), for temporarily storing the pixel data, (b) Receiving pixel data into the virtual pixel storage means (6) from one or more pixel sources (5), (c) Processing the pixel data stored in the virtual pixel storage means, based on characteristic display parameters characterizing the display devices; and (d) Transmitting the pixel data from the virtual pixel storage means (6) to one or more virtual displays attached to the virtual pixel storage means via a network (7), based on a network transmission protocol. The invention further relates to a system for displaying pixels on display devices.

  • Publication number: 20150340009
    Abstract: A method for displaying pixels on display devices, comprising: generating one or more pixels by one or more pixel sources; Providing one or more display devices for displaying pixels; transmitting the one or more generated pixels to one or more display devices for displaying the pixels via a network based on a network transmission protocol; and displaying the pixels on the display devices, wherein a plurality of the display devices are synchronized with each other for displaying the pixels and that preferably based on the synchronized display devices a plurality of the pixel sources are synchronized with the plurality of synchronized display devices via the network for synchronous displaying the pixels on the plurality of the display devices. The present invention further relates to a system for displaying pixels on display devices.

  • Patent number: 8267189
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool includes a motor-driven percussion mechanism. The percussion mechanism includes a guide tube (21) and a reciprocating driving member (22) displaceable in the guide tube (21) for driving, via a gas spring, an impact member (23) likewise displaceable in the guide tube (21). The percussion mechanism further includes a motor-driven eccentric wheel (17) rotatable about an axis (D) which is spaced from the percussion mechanism axis (S) in a direction perpendicular to the percussion mechanism axis (S) by a distance (X). A connection rod (29) is eccentrically supported on the eccentric wheel (17) and connected to the driving member (22) for converting a rotational movement of the eccentric wheel (17) into a reciprocating movement of the driving member (22).

  • Patent number: 7950471
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool includes a percussion power tool includes a percussion piston (5) for applying blows to an anvil (8) axially displaceable in a guide tube (6) within limits defined by two, spaced from each other, stops (9a, 9b) arranged in the guide tube (6), a pneumatic percussion mechanism (2) for driving the percussion piston (5), an air spring (3) for connecting the percussion piston (5) with the percussion mechanism (2), and an impact ring (12) arranged coaxially with the anvil (8) outwardly thereof and having spaced from each other, inner radical flanks (14) located on opposite axial sides of the outer radial collar (11) provided on the anvil (8), with the impact ring (12) freely axially displaceable, within limits, relative to the outer radial collar (11) and having an outer diameter smaller than a guiding inner diameter of the guide tuber (6), and with a mass ratio of the impact ring (12) to the anvil (8) being equal at least 0.25.
