Publication number: 20220401174Abstract: An apparatus is provided for clamping portions of the human penile shaft skin or the foreskin (30) to allow for penile skin extension through the application of an external axial force. A soft hollow body (100), at its proximal end, has a mushroom-shaped outer surface (200) and a funnel-shaped inner portion (210) that extends into a structured axial cavity. Midway, the hollow body evolves into a tube (300) towards its distal end. The structured axial cavity inside the hollow body carries a tightly inserted, rigid, hollow pulling rod (400). Upon placing the funnel-shaped portion (210) of the hollow body (100) onto the glans (20), penile skin (30) is slid onto the stipe of the mushroom-shaped outer surface until the top portion of the skin tube comes to rest in a toroidal recess (240). The skin is entrapped and held in place by folding the distal tube (300) of the hollow body (100) over.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2019Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventor: Axel Werner Fritz Blau

Patent number: 7963200Abstract: The method includes continuously detecting glass faults in the glass sheet. Based on the results of the detecting of the glass faults an optimized cutting pattern for cutting crosscut pieces from a predetermined sheet section and for cutting glass panes from the crosscut pieces is determined. In order to reduce waste, the cutting lines for the glass panes are placed sufficiently close to fault-containing glass sheet regions, so that the glass sheet regions to be discarded are minimized, while producing a largest possible number of usable glass panes. The crosscut pieces are then cut out according to the optimized cutting pattern and then the glass panes are cut from the crosscut pieces. An appropriate apparatus for performing the method is described.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2008Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: Schott AGInventors: Peter Benischke, Klaus-Peter Lexow, Axel Werner

Patent number: 7096723Abstract: Methods and/or devices for detecting the flow rate of a flowing medium, in particular the flow rate of a flowing air mass, are described, in which the flowing medium is detected with two evaluation methods that operate according to different principles and the two measurement signals obtained are set in relation to each other in order to determine correction methods. Since the two measurement methods react differently to interference effects, the comparison of the two output signals permits conclusions to be drawn as to the type and the order of magnitude of the interference effects and a corrected measurement signal can be obtained, which is independent of the interference effects.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2001Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Kienzle, Hans Hecht, Manfred Strohrmann, Wolfgang-Michael Mueller, Axel-Werner Haag, Uwe Konzelmann, Anke Fleischer, legal representative, Marie-Luise Beck, legal representative, Hildegard Nelson, legal representative, Guido Kleinhans, legal representative, Dieter Tank, deceased, Josef Kleinhans, deceased

Patent number: 7012418Abstract: A measuring device, with a digital interface for the transmission of digital signals to an evaluation unit, is disclosed, whereby the interface includes a clock input, to which a system clock signal is fed, a signal input, to which a measured signal is applied, an arithmetic unit, which derives an output signal from the clock signal and measured signal, and a signal output where the output signal is output and transmitted to the evaluation unit. Measurement accuracy may be improved by transmitting a reference signal that is a signal derived from the clock signal, and using this reference signal to correct the output signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2002Date of Patent: March 14, 2006Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Rolf Reischl, Joerg Brueckner, Manfred Strohrmann, Marco Neuscheler, Hans Loistl, Axel-Werner Haag
