  • Patent number: 11294687
    Abstract: A data bus includes process elements and a linear main pipeline. Each process element is coupled to a linear pipeline having M stages arranged in series, each of the M stages including a buffer element configured to buffer a data bit sequence and to forward the buffered data bit sequence from a first of the buffer elements to a last of the buffer elements. The linear main pipeline includes N pipeline stage elements arranged in series. Each pipeline stage element is connected to the last buffer element of a respective linear pipeline and configured to read-out one or more of the buffered data bit sequences and to forward the read-out data bit sequences from one of N pipeline stag elements to a next of the N pipeline stage elements.

  • Patent number: 11287247
    Abstract: An apparatus for three-dimensional measurement of an object includes a positioning unit that is configured to receive information showing intersections of a projected line with a plurality of lines of predetermined or known position and to determine a position of the projected line based on the received image information. Further, the respective method and the respective computer program are described.

  • Patent number: 10580123
    Abstract: A device includes illuminator configured to emit first and second illumination signal having first and second illumination intensities, respectively, in the direction of a surface region of an object to be measured, the second illumination intensity being smaller than the first illumination intensity. The device includes sensor configured to provide a first and second measurement signals based on first and second reflections of the first and second illumination signals on the surface region, respectively. The device includes evaluator configured to combine the first and second measurement signals with each other so as to obtain a combination result from which a position of the first illumination signal on the surface region may be derived, wherein an influence of a reflectance of the surface region within the combination result is reduced as compared to the influence on the first and second measurement signals.
