  • Patent number: 11964430
    Abstract: A method of additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects, and/or a method of controlling one or more irradiation parameters of the energy beam system, may include determining an irradiation setting using an irradiation control model and outputting an irradiation control command to an energy beam system based at least in part on the irradiation setting. The irradiation control model may be configured to determine the irradiation setting based at least in part on a power density factor and/or an irradiation vector factor. The irradiation control command may be configured to change one or more irradiation parameters for additively manufacturing a three-dimensional object. An additive manufacturing system may include an energy beam system and a control system that includes an irradiation controller. The irradiation controller may include a control module configured to perform such a method.

  • Patent number: 9308844
    Abstract: The invention relates to a head restraint for a vehicle seat, in particular for a motor vehicle seat, wherein the head restraint has a cushion part facing the head of a seat occupant, a main body, and a comfort adjustment device, wherein in a usage situation of the head restraint the cushion part can be adjusted relative to the main body from a first position that is farther from the head of the seat occupant to a second position that is closer to the head of the occupant by means of the comfort adjustment device, wherein the cushion part can also be adjusted from the second position in the direction of the first position by means of the comfort adjustment device, wherein this requires a front extreme position of the cushion part to be set.

  • Patent number: 8388059
    Abstract: An actuating system for a head restraint of a vehicle seat is provided. The head restraint includes a part that can be shifted from a comfort position to a safety position, such as in the event of an accident. Limbs are expandable from an initial position as a consequence of pressure loading to bring about a lengthening which can be transmitted to force transmission means. The limbs are connected to one another and/or to fastening means by joints, each having a first and a second joint pin which can be inserted axially into holes to form the joints.
