  • Patent number: 11162873
    Abstract: A tire comprises an inner surface defining and facing an inner hollow space, an outer surface pointing away from the inner hollow space. A method of processing the tire comprises identifying the position of a first feature on the outer surface and cleaning a surface portion of the inner surface of the tire, wherein the surface portion has a first predetermined position relative to the position of the first feature on the outer surface. A separate element is attached with its attachment surface to the surface portion, wherein a ratio of a size of the surface portion over a corresponding size of the attachment surface is smaller than 10.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9389417
    Abstract: The invention relates to a scanner device having a mirror arranged so as to be pivotable about an axis of rotation, an iron core with an air gap, a coil arranged about a portion of the iron core, and two permanent magnets. The two magnets have differently directed magnetizations and are arranged inside the air gap at different angular rotation positions with respect to the axis of rotation. An armature made of a soft-magnetic material is arranged on the mirror in such a manner that the armature is residing inside the air gap and, by means of application of electric current to the coil, the armature is moved toward one of the two magnets, depending on the direction of the current, and the mirror rotates.
