Publication number: 20110298620Abstract: An auditory representation method is used to generate an audible signal which characterizes the instantaneous value of a rhythmical parameter such as the pulse of a human patient. A periodic signal (15) from a sensor (10) is standardized by a pulse detector (20) to generate a shaped pulse sequence (25) which is inputted to a pulse interval decoder (30). The pulse interval decode (30) generates a pulse interval length signal (35) which represents the current pulse interval length at any one time. An audio signal generator (40) then produces an audible signal having characteristics such as frequency (pitch) which characterize the current pulse interval length. A system and device for carrying out the method are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2010Publication date: December 8, 2011Inventor: Heinrich Zimmermann

Patent number: 7744473Abstract: An adapter device and a production series of adapter devices for connecting an input shaft, e.g., a motor shaft of a motor, e.g., an electric motor, to a device to be driven, e.g., to a pinion of a gear unit, including an adapter shaft for the rotatably-fixed connection to the device to be driven, an intermediate piece engaged with the adapter shaft, and a sub-component that is engaged with the intermediate piece and is detachably connectible with form-locking to an input shaft, particularly a motor shaft. The sub-component includes a bore hole for accommodating the input shaft in the sub-component, and the sub-component has at least three claws for forming the coupling. The adapter shaft, at its second end, thus at the end facing the intermediate piece, has at least three claws for forming a coupling. The intermediate piece is provided between the claws of the sub-component and the claws of the adapter shaft.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2008Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Sew-Eurodrive GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6383573Abstract: A process is provided for producing coated synthetic bodies during which, before the coating, the surface to be coated is subjected to a pretreatment in an excited gas atmosphere. The surface is then coated. The gas atmosphere is predominantly formed of a noble gas and nitrogen and/or hydrogen, and the ionic energy in the gas atmosphere and in the are of the surface to be coated is not more than 50 eV. The ionic energy is selected to be not more than 20 eV, preferable not more than 10 eV. The gas atmosphere is excited by means of a plasma discharge or by means of UV radiation.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2000Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Unaxis Balzers AktiengesellschaftInventors: Eugen Beck, Jürgen Ramm, Heinrich Zimmermann

Publication number: 20020017452Abstract: An antireflection coating having a high abrasion and scratching resistance can be applied to natural glass by sputtering, the substrates being positioned closer to the target than usual in order to obtain an increased density of the applied layers. An irregular deposition rate can be compensated by moving the substrate, thus allowing to ensure a regular thickness and therefore a high optical quality of the antireflection coating in these conditions as well. On the preferred sapphire watch glass, SiO2 and Si3N4 resp. AlN and Al2O3 can be used for the individual layers, in particular. These layers do not have a noticeable color effect, but on account of their high hardness, their abrasion and scratching resistance is comparable to that of sapphire glass.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2001Publication date: February 14, 2002Applicant: W. Bloesch AGInventors: Heinrich Zimmermann, Birgit Wittel

Patent number: 6328655Abstract: An adapter system to connect a main shaft (9) of an electric motor to a device to be driven, in particular to a pinion of a gearing, is disclosed. The system comprises an adapter shaft (10) with a pinion attachment (11) on a first end, for rotationally stable connection to the pinion. A housing (20) is provided with devices (21, 22) to serve as bearings for the adapter shaft (10) and with a first flange (23) for attaching the housing to the gearing and with a second flange (24) for attaching it to the motor, such that the motor is substantially firmly connected to the gearing by way of the housing (20). A coupling element (40) can be connected to the motor shaft (9) in a rotationally stable manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1999Date of Patent: December 11, 2001Assignee: Sew-Eurodrive GmbH & Co.Inventors: Heinrich Zimmermann, Günter Oberländer, Norbert Mensing

Patent number: 5580384Abstract: A PECVD coating apparatus includes a vacuum coating chamber for performing a PECVD process. At least one pair of spaced apart electrodes is positioned within the chamber and powered by an electric power supply generator to produce a plasma discharge generating voltage between the electrodes. Gas is fed between the electrodes in the chamber for producing a plasma discharge reaction that, in turn, forms a coating reaction product. A holding member is placed in the chamber for positioning one or more workpieces with their opposite surfaces at equally spaced positions from each of the electrodes of the pair of electrodes. The workpieces are electrically isolated from the chamber through the holding member so that a free floating electrical potential is maintained on the workpieces. As a result, the opposite surfaces of the workpieces are substantially identically coated in the chamber using the PECVD process.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 1995Date of Patent: December 3, 1996Assignee: Balzers AktiengesellschaftInventors: Francis Thiebaud, Heinrich Zimmermann

Patent number: 4577303Abstract: Test equipment is provided for determining the size or the degree of wear of a phono pickup needle. The static friction which is experienced by a motion of the stylus in the groove of a record is measured. The test equipment employs components of a record player and includes a turntable capable of being turned manually. A base part is positioned on the turntable. An axis is disposed at the base part. A carrying part is supported by the base part and is rotatable about the axis such that the carrying part moves about in a plane parallel to the base part on the turntable. A test support area is made of a material corresponding to a phonograph record. The test support area is provided with grooves and rests on the carrying part such that the grooves correspond in their position to the grooves of a record and such that the stylus engages a groove. Elastic coupling means is provided between the carrying part and the base part.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 1984Date of Patent: March 18, 1986Inventor: Heinrich Zimmermann
