  • Patent number: 11173366
    Abstract: A capacitive sensing climbing hold includes at least one polymer matrix and an anchor point provided in the polymer matrix, the anchor point being configured for attaching the climbing hold to a climbing wall and for transmitting a capacitive contact to a capacitive sensing unit. The polymer matrix includes a carbon powder so that the carbon powder represents between 5% and 35% of the weight of the polymer matrix, preferably between 10% and 35% of the weight of the polymer matrix, the carbon powder being substantially evenly distributed in the polymer matrix.

  • Patent number: 10768412
    Abstract: A device for an optical sensor for a motor vehicle and a corresponding driver-assistance system are disclosed. The optical sensor includes an optic. The device includes a housing that is mounted so as to be able to rotate around an axis of rotation and that has a compartment that is configured to accommodate the optical sensor, and an optical element that is securely fastened to the housing. The optical element has at least one planar surface that is configured to be placed in the field of view of the optical sensor. The device also includes and an actuator that is coupled to the housing in order to drive the housing and the optical element to rotate.
