Patent number: 10759525Abstract: The invention relates to a drive system for a vehicle, comprising at least one asymmetrical rotor (18), which has at least one rotor blade (20) extending radially from a rotor axle, and a counterweight (22) which is opposite the rotor axle, the system further comprising a control device for the electric motor (24), which connects the electric motor (24) to a battery for the power supply thereof, and is configured and designed, during a revolution cycle, which includes 1-3 revolutions of the rigid rotor blade (20), to bring about at least one acceleration phase, in which the electric motor (24) can be accelerated to accelerate the rotor (18), and at least one braking phase, in which the electric motor (24) can be braked, the control device being designed, during at least part of the braking phase, to connect the electric motor (24) to at least one battery element (28) in generator mode.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Inventor: Dirk Brunner

Patent number: 9279974Abstract: A microscopy system method for inspecting a retina of an eye including generating an inverted intermediate image of the retina using an opthalmoscopic lens; detecting a left image of the intermediate image from a left viewing direction and detecting a right image of the intermediate image from a right viewing direction; and displaying an inverted representation of the detected left image to a right eye of a user and displaying an inverted representation of the detected right image to a left eye of the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2008Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: CARL ZEISS MEDITIC AGInventors: Christian Luecke, Alfons Abele, Dirk Brunner, Frank Rudolph, Fritz Straehle, Joachim Steffen, Michael Wirth

Patent number: 7400342Abstract: An optical observation apparatus includes: an optical system which produces an image of an object being observed and a video device (7) for recording the image and producing an image signal. The video device (7) includes a first memory (71) for temporarily storing the image signal, a second memory (73) in data communication (77) with the first memory (71), and a control device (75) in communication (76A, 76B) with both memories (71, 73) for controlling the storage procedure in the first memory and data transfer from the first to the second memory. The control device (75) controls the storage procedure and the data transfer so that overwriting of such data already stored for a given period of time in the first memory (71) is effected and that transfer of the content of the first memory (71) to the second memory (73) takes place as a reaction to a trigger signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2003Date of Patent: July 15, 2008Assignee: Carl-Zeiss-StiftungInventors: Gerhard Gaida, Dieter Quendt, Dirk Brunner, Ralf Benninger, Ludwin Monz, Michael Haisch
