  • Object measuring device and associated methods
    Patent number: 7245386
    Abstract: A device for measuring one or more dimensions of an object. One or more light emitters direct light towards the object. At least one light blocking element, arranged between the light emitters and the object, blocks all but a bundle of light to form a light edge on the object. At least one sensor captures an image of the light edge, wherein the dimensions may be determined from image data of the sensor. The object and/or device may move relative to one another, along an axis, to change measurement location of the object.

  • Closure for at least one opening
    Patent number: 7059959
    Abstract: Closure for closing one or more openings (O) of an air-conditioning system, in particular ducts or air-guiding elements that form part of an air-conditioning system. The closure (1) has a plurality of closing elements (3a to 3z) that are arranged (when viewed in a common displacement direction (V)) essentially in one plane (P), so as to be displaceable in parallel with one another, either together in the same direction and/or in opposite directions with respect to one another, in the displacement direction (V).
