  • Publication number: 20240092250
    Abstract: A method for operating a high-resolution headlamp of a vehicle, the headlamp being configured to project an image into the outer region of the vehicle. At least two regions are selected in the image to be projected which have the same brightness gradients. The brightness gradients of the at least two regions are analyzed in the projection to be carried out. If, during the analysis, a difference in the brightness gradients between individual ones of the selected regions is detected in the projection to be carried out, the headlamp is controlled in such a way that the brightness gradients of the selected regions in the projection to be carried out are matched to each other.

  • Patent number: 9212798
    Abstract: A lighting device for vehicles with a minimum of two light modules, each comprising a number of LED light sources for the generation of a first light function and a second light function. One light module is a basic light module and the other light module is a long-range light module. A first light source and a second light source are arranged in the basic light module, so that when the first LED light source is energized, a first partial light beam for the creation of a first light function is radiated. When both the second LED light source and the first LED light source are energized, a second partial light beam for the creation of a second light function is radiated. A first LED light source and a second LED light source may also be arranged in the long-range light module, so that when the first LED light source is energized, a first partial light beam for the creation of the first light function is radiated.

  • Publication number: 20140098554
    Abstract: An illumination unit for a motor vehicle includes at least one LED and a main light exit aperture, wherein the LED comprises an emission area with emittable light, which can be deflected onto the main light exit aperture by means of a reflector. A shading element with an opening is provided between the reflector and the LED, wherein the emittable light leaves through the opening and the shading element limits the emission area.

  • Patent number: 7484610
    Abstract: In an apparatus for clamping and releasing a gearwheel rim with respect to a main gearwheel that bears the gearwheel rim, a clamping apparatus includes an axially guided, displaceable clamping plate clamping the gearwheel rim between the plate and the main gearwheel. Antifatigue bolts are used for such a purpose. The bolts are expanded by an actuator for releasing the clamped gearwheel rim to an extent that cancels the clamping action.

  • Publication number: 20070245911
    Abstract: A drive for a rotary printing press has a clutch with improved reliability in the main drive gear train. The drive has a gearwheel mechanism for transmitting a rotational movement of transfer drums during delivery of a printing material. The gearwheel mechanism includes a gearwheel pair with a driving gearwheel and a driven gearwheel and the driven gearwheel, which is arranged coaxially with respect to the driving gearwheel, is coupled during delivery to a shaft journal of a transfer drum. A clutch is provided for selectively producing and interrupting the transmission of torque between the driving gearwheel and the driven gearwheel. At least one motor is provided for feeding a torque into the gearwheel mechanism. A stepup gear mechanism is arranged in the torque flow between a clutch half of the clutch and a gearwheel.

  • Publication number: 20070234913
    Abstract: A drive for a rotary printing press makes a reliable transmission of high torques possible and, with low structural expenditure, setting of the phase in the main drive gear train. In the drive for a rotary printing press, two adjacent transfer drums are mounted with shaft journals in side walls, a gearwheel of the gearwheel mechanism is disposed fixedly in terms of rotation on the shaft journals and the gearwheels are not in direct engagement with one another. The gearwheels of the adjacent transfer drums are permanently in engagement in each case with one intermediate gear. The gearwheels of the adjacent transfer drums and the intermediate gears are kept at a spacing from one another in each case with one lever. The intermediate gears are kept at a spacing in each case from one another with a coupler. The coupler can be disconnected and the engagement of the teeth of the intermediate gears can be canceled.
