Patent number: 7420148Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining a pixel gray scale value image, particularly for a multi-dimensional image system. According to said method a first modulation signal (M1) which is emitted at the emitting end and is reflected on an object that is to be recorded is correlated with a second modulation signal (M2) and is recorded at the receiving end based on at least two correlation signals (Ua, Ub or Ia, Ib) that are proportional to the respective received first modulation signal (M1). One of said modulation signals (M1, M2) is phase shifted in several phase steps (?k) at the emitting or receiving end and a differential signal (D) is determined for each phase step (?k) based on the correlation signals (Ua, Ub or Ia, Ib,) and a pixel gray scale value (PGray) is determined based on said difference signal (D) independently of interfering signals.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2005Date of Patent: September 2, 2008Assignee: Conti Temic microelectronic GmbHInventors: Christian Lang, Bernd Schneider, Holger Jordan, Armin Dobusch

Publication number: 20060228050Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calibrating 3D image sensors. Work tolerances, temperature variations and aging processes result in that the various pixels in a receiving array deviate from one another to different degrees. The aim of the invention is therefore to calibrate the entire receiving array with respect to every pixel. During operation of the 3D image sensor there is usually no reference scene available with which every pixel could be calibrated based on known phase relations. According to the invention, the entire receiving array is illuminated at defined intervals exclusively with one modulated light source. Alternatively, the emitted light source can be used via a deflection device. Two different distances can be simulated by carrying out two calibrating measurements with different phase relations between emitted and received signal, thereby making it possible to detect distance-related errors for every pixel individually.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2003Publication date: October 12, 2006Applicant: Conti Temic Microelectronic GmbMInventors: Zhanping Xu, Christian Lang, Bernd Schneider

Patent number: 6912110Abstract: A cable network and a method for protecting the cable network against a serial arc are disclosed. In particular, a 42 V vehicle network for a motor vehicle is contemplated. The cable network includes a supply line connecting a voltage source and a load. The supply line includes two cable runs that are connected in parallel. Each of the cable runs contains a fuse therein. In the event of a cable defect in one (first) of the cable runs, all of the current flows via the other (second) cable run. This prevents an arc from being formed at the cable interruption in the first cable run. The fuses are preferably in the form of electronic components, which positively disconnect one another as soon as one component is activated due to a fault.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2002Date of Patent: June 28, 2005Assignee: Leoni Bordnetz-SystemeInventors: Bernd Schneider, Joachim Neubert

Patent number: 6655041Abstract: The invention relates to a roller belt drier. The drying of panel-shaped products often requires the drier to have considerable construction lengths in order to achieve a high capacity. Long roller belt dryers, which are usually equipped with chain drives and a motor for each chain, present the problem that very strong chains are required to transmit the necessary driving forces. When the drier reaches a certain length, it is no longer possible to provide chains that are able to accommodate these forces. According to known solutions, a chain is divided and the drives are located in the centre of the drier. This causes problem s in terms of sealing the drier, as well as extra expense for the driving and tension station. The aim of the invention is to create a drier which has a driving and tension system that is structurally simple and economical even for considerable construction lengths. A chain is equipped with two drives (15, 23), the second drive (23) being integrated in a tension device (24).Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2002Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Babcock-BSH GmbHInventors: Manfred Schmidt, Gerhard Lehn, Bernd Schneider
