Patent number: 12272037Abstract: A microscope system (100) configured to record images in at least a first and a second imaging mode (501, 502), comprising: An objective (1) collecting light (201) from a sample (11), An illumination module coupled to the objective, A first reimaging objective (5) generating an intermediate image of the sample and a second reimaging objective (6) that relays the intermediate image onto a detection module, An evaluation module (200) comprising a machine learning method (DL), trained with a first and a second set of images of the same sample, wherein the first and second set has been acquired in the first (501) and second imaging mode (502), respectively, wherein upon acquisition of an image (400) in the second imaging mode (502) the trained machine learning method (DL) outputs a restored image (401) that comprises fewer aberrations than the image (400) acquired in the second imaging mode (52, 53, 57).Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2021Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Inventors: Li-Ling Yang, Christian Conrad, Foo Wei Ten, Roland Eils

Patent number: 12225335Abstract: A power tool having multiple wireless communication states and a method of wirelessly communicating by a power tool. The power tool includes a motor, a battery pack interface that selectively receives a battery pack, a backup power source, and a wireless communication controller coupled to the backup power source and the battery pack interface. The wireless communication controller operates in a connectable state when coupled to a battery pack and transmits tool operational data to the external device and receives tool configuration data from the external device. The wireless communication controller operates in an advertisement state when the wireless communication controller is coupled to and powered by the backup power source. In the advertisement state, the wireless communication controller is configured to transmit the unique tool identifier. The external device may also display an indication of the communication state of the power tool.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2023Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventors: Burtrom Lee Stampfl, Matthew J. Mergener, Alex Huber, Paul Rossetto, Cole A. Conrad, Stephen Matson, Scott R. Fischer, Mark A. Kubale, Christian Coulis

Patent number: 10384757Abstract: A device for predetermining the driving stage of an electric motor of a boat is disclosed. A base plate is connected to a side wall of the boat and to a control lever, which is pivotable relative to the base plate about a pivot axis. The control lever is in turn coupled to a speed controller for controlling the motor. The control lever forms a substantially closed contour with a plane formed by the base plate.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2017Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: Torqeedo GmbHInventors: Moritz Mueller, Christian Conrads, Frank Despineux

Patent number: 9914377Abstract: An actuation device (100), for a vehicle seat, has at least one locking mechanism (23). The actuation device (100) has an actuation handle (152), which is mounted on a housing (110), for unlocking the at least one locking mechanism (23). A connection device (200) couples the actuation device (100) to the at least one locking mechanism (23). The actuation handle (152) can be actuated in two different directions and the at least one locking mechanism (23) can be unlocked by actuating the actuation handle (152) in one direction and by actuating the actuation handle (152) in the other direction. As a result, an operating direction of the actuation handle (152) that is oriented in the movement direction of the vehicle seat is available for each movement direction of the vehicle seat. A vehicle seat (1) is also provided having at least one locking mechanism (23) and an actuation device (100).Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2014Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: Johnson Controls Components GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Marc Wagner, Heiko Pfaff, Christian Conrad, Lars Crummenauer, Annerose Bergmann, Andreas Kraemer

Publication number: 20180051983Abstract: Measurement system for the three-dimensional optical measurement of a work-piece, comprising: (i) a camera for recording image data of the workpiece; (ii) a control unit which is configured to evaluate the image data recorded by the camera and deter-mine 3D data of the workpiece therefrom; and (iii) a projector for projecting a test pattern onto the workpiece. The control unit is configured to control the projector during a setup mode in such a way that the projector actively modifies, depending on a distance between the workpiece and the camera, the shape of the test pattern projected onto the workpiece in order, by way of the test pattern, to assist a user of the measurement system within the scope of positioning the camera relative to the workpiece.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2017Publication date: February 22, 2018Inventors: Florian BAYER, Christian CONRAD, Heiko GOLLER, Ivan KAUSZ

Patent number: 8931357Abstract: A two-part coaxial needle for a pipetting device, in particular for use in microscopy of cell probes, makes it possible both to inject a liquid into a pipetting container and to remove by suction a liquid from the pipetting container. Both the drive for lowering the coaxial needle into the pipetting container, and injection and removal by suction of the liquid take place pneumatically by way of only one pressure source. The design of the coaxial needle and of the drive systems makes possible fast and reliable pipetting with high metering accuracy and a particularly compact pipetting unit which without mutual interference can be used with a multitude of widely-used microscope types.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2009Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: EMBL European Molecular Biology LaboratoryInventors: Siegfried Winkler, Christian Conrad
