Patent number: 8122933Abstract: A sectional door having a door frame, a door panel comprising sections coupled to another in articulated manner, a weight equalization device coupled to the door panel, and an electrical door drive for opening and closing movements of said door panel. The uppermost section in the closed position of the door panel, is guided on running rails as the header section, wherein said rails extend essentially horizontally up to the door frame, and have a vertical end segment on the frame side. The other sections that follow below the header section are guided in guide rails that have a vertical segment along the door frame, a horizontal segment parallel to the running rail that holds the header section, and an arc that joins the two segments. With this device, the door drive is attached to one of the sections connected below the header section, and has at least one power take-off shaft having an impeller at the end. The driven impeller engages in the guide rail and moves the door panel.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2005Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Novoferm GmbHInventors: Franz-Wilhelm Rieder, Marco Göckus, Stefan Höfling

Patent number: 7694565Abstract: This invention relates to the field of signal transit time sensors, in particular sensors based on ultrasonic transit times. Existing electronic control circuits for such transit time sensors for measurements on medical liquids, in particular blood, are extremely complex or their time resolution is limited. However, the present invention makes use of a simple measurement technique which cannot be used directly at first for the time resolution to be achieved. In this method, an ordinary sampling method is used to detect the received signal (12). An oscillator-like received signal (12) generated by an emitted step-like signal is first sampled during a half-period (14, 15) and is checked with the help of a selection criterion.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2004Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbHInventors: Franz-Wilhelm Koerdt, Peter Scheunert, Dejan Nikolic, Klaus Metzner, Alexander Kuhn
