  • Methods and systems for stimulated emission depletion microscopy
    Patent number: 11965831
    Abstract: Sub-diffraction limited fluorescent images using a fiber-based stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscope are reported. Both excitation and depletion beams are transported through polarization-maintaining fiber and a lateral resolution of 100 nm has been achieved.

  • Device for longitudinally guiding a motor vehicle having a navigation system
    Patent number: 8326512
    Abstract: A device for longitudinally guiding a motor vehicle includes a sensor system for locating preceding vehicles, a regulator that regulates the speed of the vehicle to a setpoint speed, either in a free driving mode or in a following driving mode, the setpoint speed depending on the distance from a preceding vehicle, as well as an interface to a navigation system that provides information concerning the route traveled, and a limiting device for limiting the setpoint speed based on the information provided. The limiting device is designed to deactivate automatically when changing from free driving mode to following driving mode and activate automatically when changing from following driving mode to free driving mode.

  • Method for recognizing a turn maneuver and driver assistance system for motor vehicles
    Patent number: 8131444
    Abstract: A method for a driver assistance system of a motor vehicle includes the following steps: on the basis of a digital map of a navigation system, verifying whether there is a turn option, and, if there is a turn option, analyzing the dynamic data, measured by a locating system, of a preceding vehicle and calculating a turn probability for the preceding vehicle on the basis of these data.
