Patents by Inventor Gunther Bohn

Gunther Bohn has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8661903
    Abstract: A machine has at least two wheels (at least one of them driven) arranged on a base body and connected with a revolving belt. A transmitter and a receiver are arranged on the base body. The transmitter transmits contactless to the belt a transmitted signal having an oscillation frequency, with the receiver from the belt a reflected signal in response to the transmitted signal. An evaluation device connected to the receiver checks if the reflected signal received by the receiver satisfies an acquisition condition indicating that a speed of the belt is in a predetermined speed range. The evaluation device determines, if the acquisition condition is satisfied, a frequency spectrum which is based of the oscillation frequency and the reflected signal in the predetermined speed range and indicative of a mechanical oscillation characteristic of the belt, and generates a control signal based on the evaluated frequency spectrum.

  • Patent number: 6967723
    Abstract: An interferometric measuring device includes a reference arm having a reference surface and a measuring arm having lighting optics for deflecting measuring light onto a measuring surface of an object to be measured, and having an image recorder connected to an analyzing device. A rapid, simple measurement with a rugged design of the measuring device may be achieved by configuring the lighting optics as a light guide body insertable into a cavity in the object to be measured, having a peripheral, radially symmetrical effective reflex surface directed radially or obliquely outward, and also including at least one deflector surface deflecting the measuring light onto same.
