  • Patent number: 11703878
    Abstract: A mobile object configured for movement in an area equipped with VLC illumination sources comprises a light sensor arranged to detect illumination from at least one of the illumination sources within the view of the light sensor; a computer arranged to determine from the detected illumination (i) a position of the mobile object relative to the at least one illumination source and (ii) the identifier of the at least one illumination source; and a transceiver. The transceiver can receive from another mobile object a message comprising the position of the other mobile object relative to a source of illumination, and the identifier of that source of illumination. From this, the computer determines from its position and the message a distance from the other mobile object. A mobile object which transmits such a message is also envisaged.

  • Publication number: 20220412724
    Abstract: Provided is a measurement device (10) for detecting local thickenings in a film web (20), more particularly an extrusion and/or coextrusion film, having a first roll (14) for rolling on the film web (20) that can be moved along, a second roll (18) that can be supported indirectly above the film web (20) on the first roll (14) for rolling on the film web (20) that can be moved along, wherein the second roll (18) is resiliently guided in the thickness direction of the film web (20) that can be moved along, more particularly in the vertical direction, and at least one distance sensor (24) that is stationary with respect to the first roll (14) and/or to the film web (20) that can be moved along, for detecting a distance of the second roll (18). The second roll (18), which can be displaced from a local thickening of the film web (20) in the thickness direction of the film web (20), makes it possible to quickly and easily detect local thickenings in a film web (20).

  • Patent number: 9878478
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a roller device for treating sheet-form material, in particular for smoothing films (F*) or sheets, comprising a first roller unit 1 and a second roller unit 2, wherein each roller unit (1, 2) comprises: at least one drive motor with a motor moment of inertia JM, a roller (10, 20) with a roller moment of inertia JW, and at least one gear for the kinematic coupling of the roller (10, 20) to the at least one drive motor with a transmission ratio iMW between the at least one drive motor and the roller (10, 20), wherein the roller (20) of the second roller unit (2) is rotatable in the opposite direction to the roller (10) of the first roller unit (1), and wherein there is formed between the roller (10) of the first roller unit (1) and the roller (20) of the second roller unit (2) a first roller gap (40) through which the sheet-form material (F) is guided.
