  • Patent number: 11795611
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multilayered composite film made of plastic and in the form of a surface coating for an article, wherein the composite film is at least partly transparent, i.e. is transparent in partial regions, has at least one outer transparent top layer which is optionally provided with a transparent coating, and has, on the rear side of the top layer, one or more further transparent plastic layers and also a transparent carrier layer, wherein arranged inside the layer composite is an opaque layer which is in the form of a sheet-like masking or diaphragm provided with openings and is transparent only in the openings of the masking or diaphragm, wherein the opaque layer adjoins the rear side of the top layer in the direction of the carrier layer, wherein the base material of the opaque layer is the same as that of the top layer.

  • Patent number: 10877133
    Abstract: An optoelectronic sensor is provided for measuring the distance from an object in a monitored zone that has a light transmitter for transmitting individual light signals into the monitored zone; a light receiver having at least one avalanche photodiode operated in Geiger mode for receiving the individual light pulses reflected or remitted by the object; an individual time of flight measurement unit for determining an individual time of flight of an individual light pulse as a duration between a transmitted point in time of the respective individual light pulse and its received point in time at the avalanche photodiode; and an evaluation unit that is configured to determine a common measured value for the distance from a plurality of individual times of flight and to estimate how many individual times of flight are to be expected in a time interval on the basis of background events.

  • Patent number: 10401482
    Abstract: An optoelectronic sensor for measuring a distance comprises a light transmitter (20) for transmitting a sequence of individual light pulses (22) and a light receiver (26) for receiving the individual light pulses (24). An individual time of flight measuring unit (28) determines a sequence of individual times of flight of the individual light pulses (22, 24) as the duration between a transmission point in time and its reception point in time. An evaluation unit (30, 32) accumulates individual times of flight and determines a common measurement value for the distance from the accumulated individual times of flight. The evaluation unit (30) comprises a filter (36) for accumulating an individual time of flight only if it coincides, within a time window, with a preceding individual time of flight.

  • Patent number: 5233982
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for defining at least one variable parameter of an electrical pulse supplied from an RLC discharge circuit as an output to biological tissue, independently of the amplitude of the pulse, are disclosed wherein a measurement of the chronological spacing between two values of the pulse at different times is undertaken, and the chronological spacing is evaluated, with the result of the evaluation being used to define a parameter of the RLC discharge circuit.

  • Patent number: 5168870
    Abstract: A defibrillator has a storage capacitor and a coil which are adapted for connection to biological tissue to form an RLC circuit through which a signal is discharged to the biological tissue. A measuring stage is coupled to the RLC circuit via a transformer for measuring selected characteristics of the signal. The coil is formed by a primary winding of the transformer, the primary winding thus providing the inductance for the RLC circuit. By incorporating the function of the coil into the transformer, the space necessary for a separate component is avoided and the overall structure can be made smaller.

  • Patent number: 4102755
    Abstract: Semibright (matte-gloss) coatings of nickel or nickel-cobalt are deposited on a metal substrate from a WATT'S-type, sulfamate or fluoroborate electroplating bath at a pH of 2.5 to 5.8, a temperature of 15.degree. to 70.degree. C and a current density of 0.5 to 20 A/dm.sup.2 in the presence of a substance which deposits with the metal and ensures a semibright or matte-gloss finish. The substances form in situ within the bath from a cationic or amphoteric first component and a second component consisting of an organic anion interactive with the first component to produce a flocculate.
