  • Patent number: 9810920
    Abstract: A positioning device for a picture stabilizer for the controlled movement of a carrier with respect to a base includes a first coupling element, a second coupling element, a first transmission unit, and a second transmission unit. The first coupling element, by way of a first suspension, is assembled in a movable manner with respect to the base and is movable by a first linear drive. The second coupling element, by way of a second suspension, is assembled in a movable manner with respect to the base and is movable by a second linear drive. The first transmission unit transmits movement of the first coupling element onto the carrier and the second transmission unit transmits movement of the second coupling element onto the carrier. The first coupling element and the second coupling element in each case have a movability with essentially exactly one translatory degree of freedom.

  • Patent number: 7591448
    Abstract: A hydraulic control valve system comprising a hydraulic valve block with a plurality of control valve segments arranged in a juxtaposed manner, each control valve segment comprising a first line, for example a pump line, a second line, for example a return line, and a displaceable valve rod adapted to open and close the first line, respectively close and open the second line to varying degrees depending on a position of the valve rod. The valve system further has a plurality of actuators arranged in a juxtaposed manner, one actuator for each valve segment, each actuator comprising an electrical motor connected to a respective said valve rod through a coupling mechanism.
