  • Patent number: 11643277
    Abstract: A linear motor system, in particular to a transport system, e.g. a multi-carrier, including: a guide track having a plurality of electromagnets arranged distributed along the guide track; at least one carrier that is guided by and movable along the guide track and that includes a drive magnet for cooperating with the electromagnets of the guide track to move the carrier; and a control device for controlling the movement of the carrier relative to the guide track by a corresponding control of the electromagnets, wherein the control device is configured to detect an inertial response of the moving mass of the carrier during a movement of the carrier and to determine mass information relating to the mass of the carrier on the basis of the inertial response.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9772081
    Abstract: A lighting device for vehicles with a semiconductor-based light source and an optical unit having an imaging device for producing a predetermined light distribution and having an optical element arranged between the semiconductor-based light source and the imaging device. The optical element has a back side facing the semiconductor-based light source and has a front side facing the imaging device. The optical element is formed as a color correction element which has a color correction-free partial surface area through which a firstly emitted partial light beam of the semiconductor-based light source passes and has a color correction-affected partial surface area through which the secondly emitted partial light beam of the semiconductor-based light source passes in a border angle area.
