  • Patent number: 11135661
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for introducing a balancing mark into the compressor wheel of a turbocharger. According to the method, a milling tool is firstly moved in a first direction in order to introduce a recess into the compressor wheel, and the milling tool located in the recess then runs out in a second direction in order to convert the recess into a pear segment-shaped balancing mark. The invention furthermore relates to a turbocharger which comprises a compressor wheel that has one or more pear segment-shaped balancing marks.

  • Patent number: 10755815
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for operating a medical system, comprising: providing a first threshold value for the physiological parameter in the control device, the first threshold value being assigned to a first receiving device configured to notify a user of the first receiving device in response to receiving signaling data from the control device; providing a second threshold value for the physiological parameter in the control device, the second threshold value being different from the first threshold value and assigned to a second receiving device which is different from the first receiving device and configured to notify a user of the second receiving device in response to receiving the signaling data from the control device; receiving a stream of monitoring data indicating a physiological parameter continuously monitored by the sensor device in the control device; determining a present value for the physiological parameter from the stream of monitoring data; and transmitting, in response

  • Patent number: 10591803
    Abstract: Beam adaptation devices are disclosed for variable-astigmatic adjustment of electromagnetic radiation propagating along a beam axis of the beam adaptation device. The devices include a first astigmatism lens unit, which provides at least one first lens tiltable with respect to the beam axis for astigmatism adjustment, a divergence matching lens unit with a second lens for adjusting the divergence, wherein the distance between the second lens and the first lens along the beam axis is adjustable, and a second astigmatism lens unit with at least one third lens tiltable with respect to the beam axis for astigmatism adjustment. To adjust the magnitude of the electromagnetic radiation on the third lens, the distance between the second lens and the third lens along the beam axis is adjustable. The beam adaptation device can be used, for example, for astigmatic pre-compensation in frequency conversion.
