Lighting device for the illumination of a vehicle decoupling bay and a method for providing the same
Patent number: 6474857Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting device for vehicles that envisages a light-decoupling element in a decoupling bay of the vehicle. The light-decoupling element is fed by a light source arranged at a distance therefrom. A light guide is envisaged between the light source and the light decoupling element. An additional decoupling bay lighting device is envisaged to achieve a visually appealing appearance of the decoupling bay and to illuminate the decoupling bay of the light-decoupling element.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2000Date of Patent: November 5, 2002Assignee: Hella KG Hueck & Co.Inventors: Alfred Ott, Uwe Frederking, Wener Heinz, Karsten Eichhorn, Ewald Topp, Gerhard Jost, Michael Wuestefeld, Stefan Wiesner -
Patent number: 6371635Abstract: Disclosed is a lighting device for a vehicle, having a light-decoupling element in a decoupling bay of the vehicle. The light-decoupling element is fed by a light source arranged at a distance, where an optical fiber connects the light source and the light decoupling element. A light panel is used to achieve a visual shielding of an inner bay containing structural elements and components. The light panel facilitates a visual shielding of the rear inner bay.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2000Date of Patent: April 16, 2002Assignee: Hella KG Hueck & Co.Inventors: Alfred Ott, Uwe Frederking, Wener Heinz, Karsten Eichhorn, Ewald Topp, Gerhard Jost, Micheal Wuestefeld, Stefan Wiesner

Patent number: 6107916Abstract: A signal lamp for vehicles, specifically motor vehicles, has a housing in which at least one light source is positioned, and a light guide from which light is directed in a predetermined light exit direction, whereby the light guide is structured as a long stretched-out light-release element that extends at least in areas along an edge of a housing and/or of a reflector.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1998Date of Patent: August 22, 2000Assignee: Hella Kg Hueck & Co.Inventors: Christian Beck, Andre Blanke, Herbert Cramer, Elmar Duenschede, Karsten Eichhorn, Guenther Fischer, Klaus Henneboehle, Franz-Gerhard Jost, Christian Plattfaut, Bernhard Scholl

Patent number: 5647657Abstract: A light system for an interior space of a motor vehicle comprises a plurality of function groups, each comprising a plurality of light-creation units (LE). Each light creation unit has an electrically activated and deactivated light source (LQ) and a reflector (R) for concentrating light from the light source. At least one light conductor (LL) is associated with each light creation unit with its first end being coupled to the light creation unit for transmitting concentrated light, the light conductor including a plurality of flexible individual light conductors (EL), and there being a light emitting unit (E) at a second end of the light conductor for illuminating a surface. The light sources of a single function group are simultaneously activated and deactivated. The light-creation units are spatially distributed in the motor vehicle so as to reduce the lengths of the light conductors.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 1995Date of Patent: July 15, 1997Assignee: Hella KG Hueck & Co.Inventors: Joachim Damasky, Detlef Decker, Hubert Flottmeyer, Willi Fockers, Ulrich Helfmeier, Franz-Gerhard Jost, Juergen Kabst, Heinrich Vogt, Burkard Woerdenweber

Patent number: 5119893Abstract: A method for taring a dosing belt weigher uses a weight signal produced by a load cell and a belt revolution signal produced by a sensor for providing a taring or weight correction signal that is processed in a taring unit. The taring unit ascertains the weight or load signal individually for each belt section and for a statistically relevant number of belt revolutions. Individual mean values are formed for the individual belt sections and these individual mean values are compared with the total mean value of the ascertained gross weight signals. The resulting difference values are used as taring signals for correcting the individual belt influences which are correlated locally to each individual belt section during the following belt revolution. Thus, each belt revolution is corrected with due regard to the values gathered in a substantial number of preceding belt revolutions.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1990Date of Patent: June 9, 1992Assignee: Carl Schenck AGInventor: Gerhard Jost

Patent number: 4977526Abstract: In a method and system for controlling a differential dosing scale having a weighing device and a control for the delivery rate especially of loose bulk material achieved by comparison of rated and actual weight values, measures are taken to eliminate the effects of disturbances of the output signal of the weighing device. Improvements are achieved in that an estimated or predicted value (G) for the next measured weight value is derived from previously measured values (G.sub.i) of the output signal (G) of the weighing device. The predicted value (G) is compared with the next actual measured value (G.sub.i) to determine a difference. If this difference exceeds a prescribed tolerance range or value, the control of the delivery rate continues at the unchanged previous actual value (P) of the delivery rate. Thus, the effects of disturbances are greatly reduced or even completely eliminated. Changes in the rated value of the delivery rate can also be taken into account.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1988Date of Patent: December 11, 1990Assignee: Carl Schenck AGInventors: Gerhard Jost, Hans Werner

Patent number: 4821581Abstract: The quantity of a flow of bulk material passing over a measuring wheel is continuously measured by measuring the load r.p.m. of the wheel or of a motor driving the wheel and the power output torque of the motor. The resulting r.p.m. and torque values are used for calculating the quantity. Interfering influences are substantially eliminated by using a correction value in the calculation. The correction value is based on the inertia moment of all rotating components of the system and on variations in the load r.p.m. Load r.p.m. and power output torque measuring devices provide data to a microprocessor for the calculations for achieving a high measuring precision even when the r.p.m. varies.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 1987Date of Patent: April 18, 1989Assignee: Carl Schenck AGInventor: Gerhard Jost

Patent number: 4028711Abstract: An electrostatic printer having electrodes which each are constructed as a needle arranged on a rotatable drum mounted for translatory movements. At the recording area the needle slides directly over the paper under pressure to cause the paper to be slightly pushed away. The width of the recorded track is identified by the contact surface area of the needle.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1975Date of Patent: June 7, 1977Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventors: Gerhard Jost, Ulf Rothgordt, Klaus Witter
