Publication number: 20230347377Abstract: In providing a metered discharge of a medium to a metering object moving relative to the metering means, collisions can occur between the metering means and the metering object. Such a collision results in an incorrectly metered discharge of the medium, making the metering object unusable. The invention provides a metering device and a method for the metered discharge of a medium, with which the metered discharge of a medium can be monitored. This is achieved by a metering means being coupled to at least one sensor, via which a collision between the metering means and a metering object can be detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2020Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: BDTRONIC GMBHInventors: André Hellinger, Manuel Kunz, Benedikt Ledwig

Patent number: 10011229Abstract: A mirror replacement system for a vehicle includes an image capture unit, a supply unit configured to supply the image capture unit with control signals, and an image reproduction unit configured to be disposed in the vehicle interior. At least one of the supply unit and the image capture unit is configured to perform video processing of the images captured by the image capture unit. The image capture unit and the supply unit are disposed in spaces separated from each other with respect to their sealing and are each disposed separated from and outside the image reproduction unit. The image capture unit is disposed in a water-vapor-tight housing, and a heating element may be integrated into the image capture unit, the heating element being controlled by the supply unit and being coupled to at least one of temperature detecting elements and vehicle control elements.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2017Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: MEKRA LANG GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Werner Lang, Manuel Kunz, Peter Geissendoerfer, Michael Witzke, Michael Hornung, Stefan Centmayer

Patent number: 9667922Abstract: A viewing system for a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, includes an image capture unit, a computing unit, and a reproducing unit. The image capture unit includes a lens, which has an optical axis, and a digital image sensing unit, and is configured to be attached to the vehicle such that a viewing area on the side of the vehicle is sensed with at least one part of a first legally-prescribed field of view and with at least one part of a second legally-prescribed field of view. The lens is disposed with respect to the digital image sensing unit such that the optical axis extends through the part of the first legally-prescribed field of view that is reproduced on the digital image sensing unit.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2014Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: MEKRA LANG GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Werner Lang, Manuel Kunz
