Patent number: 7142999Abstract: A method for correcting errors in a coordinate measuring machine having a measuring head which is adapted to move in at least two different spatial directions. Measuring scales and measuring lines are assigned to each spatial direction. The measuring lines of different spatial directions intersect, and correction values are determined along the measuring lines at predetermined values of the scales in order to correct for elastic and/or geometric errors of the scales and/or of the guiding mechanism for moving the measuring head. According to one aspect of the invention, the correction values determined along a measuring line of a first spatial direction are modified such that the modified correction value of this measuring line assumes a predetermined value at the point of intersection with a first measuring line of a second spatial direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2004Date of Patent: November 28, 2006Assignee: Carl Zeiss Industrielle Messtechnik GmbHInventors: Günter Grupp, Andreas Fuchs, Walter Jenisch, Ralf Bernhardt, Harald Schmid, Ulrich Staaden

Patent number: 6448935Abstract: An antenna includes a support and an electroconductive first antenna element, e.g., an electroconductive coating, located on the support and spaced from at least one electroconductive second antenna element. The first antenna element is connected to a ground through an electronic filter device, such as an inductor, configured to pass selected frequencies, e.g., AM frequencies, to the ground to eliminate the selected frequencies from the signal provided by the first antenna element. The first antenna element is preferably located between the second antenna element and a source of electronic noise to shield the second antenna element from at least a portion of the electronic noise. The second antenna element receives and provides at least one of the selected frequencies passed to the ground from the first antenna element.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2001Date of Patent: September 10, 2002Assignee: PPG Industries Ohio, Inc.Inventors: Andreas Fuchs, Ralf Duersch, Charles S.
