Patent number: 12214815Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a position of a rail vehicle, moving on a track, by means of an optical measuring system comprising a stereo camera system and an evaluation device, wherein by means of the stereo camera system an image pair is recorded from a reference point in a lateral environment of the track and wherein by means of photogrammetry the position of the rail vehicle is determined in relation to the reference point. The position of the rail vehicle is additionally detected by means of a radio-based measuring system for real-time locating by means of anchor modules attached to the rail vehicle and by means of transponders attached to several reference points, wherein position data of the two measuring systems are compared by means of a central system unit. In this way, two independent measuring systems are used to generate position data.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: PRODES GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Schuster, Gottfried Schuster, Florian Auer, Bernhard Antony

Patent number: 11350700Abstract: A shoe, in particular an athletic shoe, comprising a heel portion that includes an adaptive heel element arranged in the heel portion of the shoe, wherein the adaptive heel element comprises a stretch material. A heel counter is arranged in the heel portion, wherein the heel counter comprises a lateral portion and a medial portion for supporting the heel of a wearer's foot and a posterior gap therebetween wherein the posterior gap forms an essentially vertical split portion, wherein the split portion is adapted such that the adaptive heel element can move and deform within the split portion, and wherein the adaptive heel element within the split portion is adapted to contour to the anatomical shape of the heel of the wearer.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2018Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: adidas AGInventors: Paul Leonard Michael Smith, Stuart David Reinhardt, Angus Wardlaw, Jan Hill, James Tarrier, Falk Bruns, Andreas Thieret, Oliver Wendel, Maximilian Grüttner, Bernhard Schuster

Patent number: 7125707Abstract: A compound body can be constructed, using secondary cell wall polymers of prokaryotic microorganisms as bonding agent to anchor a monomolecular lattice to a support, with or without functional groups attached to the lattice. The lattice may be comprised of lipid or crystalline cell surface layer proteins. The support is illustrated by a micro-filtration membrane, a cell surface ultra-filtration membrane (SUM), and a micelle, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2001Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Nano-S Biotechnologie GmbHInventors: Uwe B. Sleytr, Margit Sara, Christoph Mader, Bernhard Schuster, Frank M. Unger

Patent number: 5890916Abstract: A connector assembly is operable to connect a conductor with a generally U-shaped ground rail having a pair of upwardly extending legs that terminate in outwardly directed flange portions, including a conductive plate having a body panel that extends transversely above the rail. At a first end, the body panel included a downwardly extending hook portion the extends in locking relation beneath the flange portion of the associated first rail; at its other end, a first plate support panel is connected with the bottom of the body pane for bending movement about a first generally horizontal fold lined to a support position generally normal to the body panel and in engagement with the upper surface of the flange portion of the other rail.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 1997Date of Patent: April 6, 1999Assignee: Weidmuller Interface GmbH & Co.Inventors: Jorg Diekmann, Rainer Schulze, Walter Hanning, Manfred Wilmes, Bernhard Schuster

Patent number: 5741142Abstract: A field bus connection module for coupling a local bus conductor to an associated field bus system includes a housing formed from functionally different, alignable terminal blocks, and spacing elements. The terminal blocks comprise a feed block and a grounded conductor block. Removably connected with the housing is at least one functional printed circuit board. Removal of the functional printed circuit board necessarily interrupts a separable connection between the local bus conductor and the field bus, although the field bus continues to be connected to the functional printed circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1995Date of Patent: April 21, 1998Assignee: Weidmuller Interface GmbH & Co.Inventors: Dietmar Dux, Walter Hanning, Uwe Fiene, Michael Schnatwinkel, Rudolf Steinmeier, Manfred Wilmes, Christian Hamann, Eckhard Beins, Christoph Zebermann, Hans-Georg Glathe, Martin Herms, Matthiass Liesenjohann, Stefan Steinkamper, Bernhard Schuster, Gerhard Eggert

Patent number: 5629831Abstract: A modular control system for connecting the electrical components of an automated system, such as switches, sensors, reactors and field units, with a master field bus system via an assembly of terminal blocks mounted on a grounded support rail, characterized in that the assembly includes a power supply terminal block, a ground terminal block, and at least one control signal terminal block for supplying control signals to control circuits carried by printed circuit boards contained within a removable electronics module. The various terminal block assemblies mounted on a given support rail are connected via internal bus bar means that is connected by a module with the master field bus.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1995Date of Patent: May 13, 1997Assignee: Weidmueller Interface GmbH & CoInventors: Gerhard Eggert, Walter Hanning, Uwe Fiene, Michael Schnatwinkel, Rudolf Steinmeier, Manfred Wilmes, Eckhard Beins, Matthiass Liesenjohann, Bernhard Schuster, Andreas Wedler
