  • Patent number: 10524331
    Abstract: According to at least one embodiment, a computer-implemented method to illuminate a room is described. At least one person entering the room may be identified. The room may be illuminated based at least in part on the identifying. An occupancy count for the room may be maintained based at least in part on the illuminating, wherein the occupancy count comprises a number of one or more people present in the room. The room may be darkened based at least in part on the occupancy count for the room reaching a pre-determined count.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6907809
    Abstract: A saw blade positioning device has two drive mechanisms and two guidance devices, which are preferably oriented at right angles in respect to each other. If a first guidance device is oriented in the radial direction of the circular saw blade by the linear guides, and the other guidance device in the circumferential direction, a desired advancement curve of the engagement member, independently of the saw blade diameter, is achieved respectively by means of the same control, or respectively the same control pulses, and of the drive mechanisms, in every radial position of the first guidance device. A mechanically robust basic structure results in addition, which makes a precise positioning possible.

  • Patent number: 6681655
    Abstract: A grinding machine, preferably for sharpening circular saw-blades, has a machine frame that supports a device for supporting the saw blade, for fixedly clamping the blade, and for advancing the saw-blade tooth-by-tooth. The grinding attachment has two independent operating spindles or, which are preferably oriented perpendicular to one another, and support separate drives. The grinding attachment is mounted to pivot and be adjusted in three spatial directions. In a selected pivoting position, one of these spatial directions (Z direction) is oriented radially with respect to the saw blade. In this position, the axis of rotation of one spindle is oriented in the circumferential direction, and the axis of rotation of the other spindle is oriented in the radial direction. A grinding attachment of this type permits the hollow-grinding of tooth faces with grinding pencils that have a small diameter. A separate, high-speed motor serves to drive the grinding pencil.

  • Patent number: 6105446
    Abstract: For the measuring of saw blades there is created a measuring device which has a receptacle for the turnable bearing of a saw blade as well as a measuring spindle which, with respect to the saw blade, is held adjustable and is born swingably about an axis parallel to the saw blade axis. On the measuring spindle there are arranged two measuring edges which together enclose an angle and are emplaceable on the cutting surface and on the release surface of a tooth. The measuring spindle has a low inertia moment and a friction-free bearing. This arrangement of components permits a simple and dependable execution of the measurement, even by inexperienced personnel, and the measurements of saw blades with different tooth sizes or states of wearing-down.
