Patent number: 12235462Abstract: An optical arrangement converts a laser beam into a line-type beam having a line-type beam cross-section that extends along a line direction with a non-vanishing intensity. The arrangement has: reshaping optics having: an input aperture through which the laser beam is radiated in; and an elongate output aperture, the reshaping optics being configured such that the laser beam radiated in is converted into a beam packet with beam segments that emerge through the output aperture; homogenization optics, which contribute to the conversion of the beam packet into the line-type output beam, and by which different beam segments are mixed and superposed along the line direction; and redirection optics configured to redirect the laser beam such that an incidence position/direction of laser beam on the input aperture is changed in dependence on time.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2022Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: TRUMPF LASER-UND SYSTEMTECHNIK GMBHInventors: Thomas Zeller, Christoph Tillkorn, Julian Hellstern, Andreas Heimes, Christian Lingel, Christoph Irion, Michael Jenne

Patent number: 11816757Abstract: The disclosure describes artificial reality systems and techniques for saving and exporting artificial reality data. For example, an artificial reality system includes an application engine configured to generate artificial reality content based on a pose of a user participating in an artificial reality environment and a head-mounted display (HMD) configured to output the artificial reality content to the user. The HMD includes a buffer configured to hold data representative of the artificial reality environment during a time window on a rolling basis and a capture engine configured to, in response to user input, capture the data representative of the artificial reality environment held in the buffer at a point in time at which the user input was received.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: META PLATFORMS TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Melissa Erin Summers, Lindsay Young, Arthur Bodolec, Adam Hupp, Bryan Alger, Peter Aubrey Bartholomew Griess, Nataraja Kumar Koduri, Carl Taylor, Bryan Justice, Andrea Zeller, Ayfer Gokalp

Publication number: 20230072623Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an artificial reality capture and sharing system. The artificial reality capture and sharing system can provide an output view showing a world-view from an artificial reality device or a view of the user's point-of-view. The world-view can show the complete surrounding area that is being captured by the artificial reality capture and sharing system, whether or not the user of the artificial reality device is viewing that portion of the surroundings. The point-of-view version can show the portion of the surrounding area that is in the artificial reality device's display area. The artificial reality capture and sharing system can also apply filters to people depicted in its captured sensor data. This can include applying filters to identified users in on-device or shared output views or to live views of people in the surrounding area of the artificial reality device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2021Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventors: Andrea ZELLER, Oscar MURILLO, Matthew James SCHOENHOLZ

Patent number: 11416067Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes a suspend mode feature for artificial reality systems and, more specifically, system configurations and techniques for generating a suspend mode environment during execution of an artificial reality application, and presenting and controlling user interface (UI) elements within the suspend mode environment. The suspend mode feature enables a user interacting with one or more other users (or one or more avatars corresponding to the one or more other users) within an artificial reality (AR) environment to suspend the AR environment from the user's perspective. While in the suspend mode environment, the user is able to view and select the other users from the AR environment. For example, the user may select another user to friend, message, mute, block, or report that user from the suspend mode environment.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2021Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: FACEBOOK TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Arthur Bodolec, Jing Shu, Lindsay Young, Melissa Erin Summers, Andrea Zeller, Seohyun Lee, Ayfer Gokalp

Publication number: 20190248325Abstract: A system for securing of vehicles includes at least one server; at least one vehicle having a vehicle processing device and a vehicle communication device designed to communicate with the server via at least one mobile radio network, wherein the vehicle processing device is designed to transmit data to the server; and at least one mobile terminal device, in particular a smartphone. The server has at least one allocation table which assigns at least one terminal device to the at least one vehicle. The server is designed to: (a) determine, by using the transmitted data, whether the vehicle is being moved without authorization; (b) determine, in the event of unauthorized movement of the vehicle, the associated terminal device using the allocation table; and/or (c) send a warning message to the associated terminal device in the event of unauthorized movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2017Publication date: August 15, 2019Inventors: Alexander SCHMIDT, Andreas ZELLER, Thomas LEIBER

Patent number: 10337910Abstract: A laboratory stand comprises a holding rod for receiving instruments or measuring devices for treating or examining media or substances or mixtures which may be contained or filled into a vessel arranged next to the holding rod in the usage position, into which vessel appropriate instruments or measuring instruments can engage from above. In order to be able to perform the metering of the substances in the vessel prior to, or during, the processing in a simple manner and/or in order to be able to quickly and reliably identify weight changes, support projections are moveably mounted and provided with, or connected or provided with an operative connection to, a weighing apparatus such that the displacement of the set-up feet, which is increased in the case of increasing weight or reduced in the case of decreasing weight, can be determined as weight change.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2014Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: IKA—WERKE GMBH & CO.

Publication number: 20180046798Abstract: A technique to confine a computer program to computing resources accessed during automatic testing. Sandbox mining first explores software behavior by means of automatic test generation, and extracts the set of resources accessed during these tests. This set is then used as a sandbox, blocking access to resources not used during testing. The mined sandbox thus protects against behavior changes such as the activation of latent malware, infections, targeted attacks, or malicious updates. The use of test generation makes sandbox mining a fully automatic process that can be run by vendors and end users alike.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2016Publication date: February 15, 2018Inventors: Andreas Zeller, Konrad Jamrozik

Publication number: 20120210813Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement comprising a gear and a coupling element, which is connected to the gear in a form-fitted manner in order to transmit a rotational motion. The gear and the coupling element each have a geometry (e.g., GZ, GK) on end faces facing each other, which form a form-fitted connection in connection with the geometry of the other element. The gear and the coupling element are designed as components produced by sintering, into which the respective end-face geometries (GZ, GK) are impressed. Using these end-face geometries, the gear and the coupling element are positioned relative to each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2012Publication date: August 23, 2012Inventors: Andreas ZELLER, Wolfgang Schiemenz, Rolf Schwarze
