  • Patent number: 10006797
    Abstract: A level radar is switchable between pulsed and FMCW radar methods. For example, the radar device may include two separate front ends which can be activated selectively via a logic control system. Upon switching to the respective other measurement principle, the evaluation software is also adapted accordingly. In this way, it is possible to use advantageous properties of both measurement methods in a targeted manner.

  • Publication number: 20170241825
    Abstract: A fill level measuring device designed for the generation and emission of a transmission signal, wherein the transmission signal includes at least one frequency ramp. In order to determine the level of a filling material in a vessel, only frequencies within a fundamental frequency interval are used. In this case, the minimal frequency of the fundamental frequency interval is greater than the minimal frequency of the frequency ramp and/or the maximal frequency of the fundamental frequency interval is smaller than the maximal frequency of the frequency ramp. The approach provides a reduction of power peaks in the frequency spectrum of the mean power of fill level measuring devices, which peaks result from times in which the fill level measuring device emits a constant frequency before the beginning of or after a frequency ramp.

  • Patent number: 9659152
    Abstract: A technique for generating a data set that geometrically defines a bone cut configuration for transverse maxillary distraction is using a computer-implemented method. An aspect of the technique comprises creating a numeric model of a maxilla based on patient-specific data of the maxilla. The numeric model is representative of mechanical properties of the maxilla. Based on the numeric model thus generated, one or more cut configurations for one or more bone cuts on at least one of a left hand side and a right hand side of the maxilla are determined. Each cut configuration has been determined to compensate for asymmetric mechanical properties of the maxilla. In a further step, a data set indicative of the one or more cut configurations thus determined is generated. The data set may be used to create a surgical template or jig, for computer-assisted surgery or a surgical navigation system.
