Patent number: 7819017Abstract: A dynamometer element including a bolt on which a diaphragm is mounted, the diaphragm being surrounded by a sleeve, to which a force component to be measured is applied perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the bolt, the sleeve being spaced from the bolt in such a way that the diaphragm is strained as a function of the force component, a sensor system for measuring the strain being provided on the diaphragm.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2004Date of Patent: October 26, 2010Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Munz, Anton Dukart, Helmut Grutzeck, Conrad Haeussermann, Klaus Kasten, Uwe Schiller

Patent number: 7777482Abstract: A joining element is proposed which, for force measurement, senses a relative motion between a magnet system and a magnet sensor apparatus. The magnet system is disposed with respect to the magnet sensor apparatus in such a way that a component of the magnetic field perpendicular to the relative motion is linearized.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2005Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Munz, Helmut Grutzeck, Johann Wehrmann, Conrad Haeussermann, Klaus Kasten, Uwe Schiller, Konrad Dirscherl

Patent number: 7694590Abstract: A force-measuring element, having a series connection of at least two capacitors, the force-measuring element being designed in such a way that, under the action of force, a first capacitance of a first capacitor of the at least two capacitors increases and a second capacitance of a second capacitor of the at least two capacitors decreases, in which the force-measuring element is in the form of a connecting element, in which an application of force is provided on a long side of a sleeve of the force-measuring element, and the at least two capacitors are separated by a bar that essentially stands firm during the action of force, so that a first space having the first capacitor above the bar becomes smaller as a result of the application of force, and below the bar a second space becomes larger.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2006Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Andreas Stratmann, Klaus Kasten, Sven Lamers

Patent number: 7559255Abstract: A connection element and a method for positioning a magnetic field sensor suite into the zero line of a magnetic field is provided, the measuring of the force being achieved by a displacement between a magnet and the magnetic field sensor suite. The magnetic field sensor suite is supported on a holder in such a way that the magnetic field sensor suite is achieved into the zero line of the magnetic field of the magnet.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2005Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Munz, Helmut Grutzeck, Johann Wehrmann, Conrad Haeussermann, Klaus Kasten, Uwe Schiller, Konrad Dirscherl

Patent number: 7437943Abstract: A force measurement element measures an introduced force by means of a double flexural beam and a displacement sensor. The double flexural beam makes possible a double spring shape that makes possible an optimization with regard to elongation distribution.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2004Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Munz, Kurt Weiblen, Andreàs Stratmann, Anton Dukart, Helmüt Grutzeck, Johann Wehrmann, Conräd Haeussermann, Klaus Kasten

Patent number: 6440143Abstract: Hand-held appliance for preparation of an excised skin graft, that is placed upon a plane surface, by tangential excision of tissue below the epidermis to produce a trimmed skin graft of desired remaining tissue layers and thickness with a blade that is held between two holding rods, that can be placed on a plane surface and that is held in a height-adjustable axis parallel to the surface. The end regions of the rods are shaped so that the distance between the axis and the contact surface of the edge of the end regions to the surface changes at least by sections, while the minimal distance and the maximal distance define the lowest and the highest cutting plane, respectively, so that the distance of the cutting plane is defined by the operating angle between the plane of the rods and the surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2001Date of Patent: August 27, 2002Inventor: Klaus Kasten
