Publication number: 20240424822Abstract: An optically variable representation element with a reflective surface region generates a respective three-dimensional representation for at least two different observation directions. The reflective surface region contains a respective multiplicity of reflective facets in a first and a second partial region, which at least partially overlap one another. The reflective facets are oriented such that the facets in the first partial region generate a first three-dimensional representation from the first observation direction and the facets in the second partial region generate a second three-dimensional representation from the second observation direction. The facets of the reflective surface region are provided at least regionally with sub-wavelength structures which generate the different colors of the three-dimensional representations in the overlap region.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2022Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Christian FUHSE, Christian STOCKL, Moritz HOFER, Matthias BLAZEK, Michael RAHM

Patent number: 12176705Abstract: The aim of the invention is to detect an arc in an assembly for transmitting a direct voltage. This aim is achieved by a communication transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding, the secondary winding being connected to a transmitting device, which is designed to impress a communication signal onto the secondary winding of the communication transformer, and the primary winding being connected to one of the direct voltage lines in order to feed a communication signal transformed by the communication transformer to one of the direct voltage lines. In order to detect, in the assembly, the arc signal caused by an arc, the secondary winding is connected to an arc detection unit, which is designed to detect an arc signal transformed by the communication transformer.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2023Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: Fronius International GmbHInventors: Bernd Hofer, Christian Fasthuber, Franz Fischereder, Stefan Breuer, Walter Spitzer, Mario Bairhuber, Reimar Pfeil

Publication number: 20240262122Abstract: An optically variable security element has a motif region including a plurality of differently oriented first facets and a plurality of differently oriented second facets arranged in the motif region. Each of the first and second facets defines a normal vector having a first orientation component and a second orientation component. The color impression of the at least one motif is determined by the first orientation components. The representation of the at least one motif is defined by the second orientation components. The first orientation components of the first facets and the second facets are different from one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2022Publication date: August 8, 2024Inventors: Moritz HOFER, Christian STOCKL, Matthias BLAZEK, Christian FUHSE, Michael RAHM
