  • Patent number: 11676082
    Abstract: Technologies for interruptibility analysis and notification are disclosed. In at least one illustrative embodiment, a method may comprise generating a live data stream including activity data received from one or more sensors associated with a worker, repeatedly generating an interruptibility status of the worker as a function of the activity data in the live data stream over a recent time period, and transmitting a signal that causes one of a plurality of status indicators to be displayed, the displayed status indicator corresponding to the current interruptibility status of the worker.

  • Patent number: 9872617
    Abstract: A fundus camera with an OCT measurement module, in which, after the focusing objective, a mirror switches the light to be detected either to the OCT measurement module or an image detector. This design also renders it possible to carry out a method for improved focusing in order to improve the recording quality of the individual modalities. Furthermore, the multimodal measuring instrument distinguishes itself by an operating concept according to the invention. Such combination instruments are advantageous in that, as a result of the reduction from two instruments to one, less space is required than in the case of two separate instruments. Furthermore, reseating of the patient is avoided if recordings or measurements of different modalities should be made for one and the same patient, as a result of which the procedures in the medical practices and clinics can be influenced positively.

  • Patent number: 6655257
    Abstract: A diaphragm pump with a diaphragm (1) of elastic material, which includes a receiving cavity (4) in a reinforced central area (3) for a connecting rod head (5) of a connecting rod which displaces the diaphragm (1). The diaphragm (1) includes a clamping rim (2) for securing the diaphragm to the pump housing. On the upper side (8) of the diaphragm (1) which is proximal to the pump chamber, at least one circularly disposed rib (9) is provided essentially radially outward from and proximal to a central area (3) which area is bounded by the outline of the connecting rod head (5) or by the outline of a part of the diaphragm (1) near to the said connecting rod head (5). A plurality of ribs (9), spaced in a radial direction one from the other are provided and are located where the forces introduced by the connecting rod head (5) spread into the radial, neighboring ring area of the diaphragm.

  • Patent number: 6585091
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damper for incorporation into the torque transmission path between two components or subassemblies, especially for a hydrodynamic coupling device, includes at least two disk-like damper members. Each damper member has a radially outward coupling region and a radially inward coupling region, and at least one deformation region extending between the radially outward coupling region and the radially inward coupling region. Each deformation region is elastically deformable at least in some areas to permit a relative circumferential movement between the radially outward coupling region and the radially inward coupling region.

  • Patent number: 6553758
    Abstract: A freewheel unit intended especially for the stator of a hydrodynamic torque converter, allows first and second elements to rotate relative to each other around a rotational axis essentially in only one direction. A locking element carrier extends in the circumferential direction around the rotational axis and comes at least one first locking element which extends away from this carrier toward the first element in a first circumferential direction. At least one first locking element can come to rest against at least one blocking surface provided on the first element to prevent any relative rotation between the first element and the locking element carrier in one direction of relative rotation.

  • Patent number: 6527094
    Abstract: A freewheel arrangement, in particular for a guide wheel of a hydrodynamic torque converter, permits a relative rotation between two elements in essentially only one relative rotational direction with respect to one another about an axis of rotation. At least one pawl is pivotably supported on a first of the two elements and has a pawl section which can come into contact with a blocking surface of the second of the two elements. At least one pawl is formed by a plurality of pawl plate elements which can be stamped from sheet metal.

  • Patent number: 6290041
    Abstract: A hub arrangement for a hydrodynamic torque converter includes a first hub component forming a first hub area with a first connection area connectable with a converter housing of the torque converter, a second hub component forming a second hub area with a second connection area connectable with a lockup clutch of the torque converter, and a fluid channel arrangement having at least one fluid channel connecting a radial inner area of the hub arrangement with a radial outer area. The first hub component and the second hub component contact one another at least in some areas in surface regions thereof which are located opposite one another. A recess arrangement is arranged in at least one of the oppositely located surface regions of the first and second hub components for forming the fluid channel arrangement.
