  • Patent number: 12259234
    Abstract: A surface sensing device is mounted on an articulating probe head of a coordinate measuring machine. The device includes an elongate probe holder which is rotatable about an axis. An elongate sensing module includes a surface finish or surface roughness probe with a stylus tip. This is connected to the probe holder via an adjustable knuckle joint. To determine the geometry of the surface sensing device, including the tip normal and drag vector of the stylus tip, the orientations of the probe holder and the sensing module are determined by probing points which are spaced along their lengths, using a separate probe.

  • Publication number: 20240063921
    Abstract: A method of error vector magnitude, EVM, minimization for a radio frequency, RF, measurement equipment is provided. The method comprises: measuring the EVM of a receive, RX, chain of the RF measurement equipment in accordance with a transmit, TX, feedback signal; and responsive to a trigger event, actuating one or more power-adjusting members interposed in the RX chain in accordance with the measured EVM of the RX chain. Among others, the RF measurement equipment is thereby consistently operated based on optimal power levels in the RX chain.

  • Patent number: 11735794
    Abstract: A method for connecting an energy storage module to a module support, in particular a cooling element, The energy storage module is fastened on the module support by multiple connecting screws, which are each screwed into threaded bores provided on the module support. A gap is provided between the bottom of the energy storage module and the bottom of the module support, into which a thermally-conductive compound is introduced, which is distributed to fill the gap due to a reduction of the gap width when the energy storage module is screwed down.

  • Publication number: 20230146935
    Abstract: A method for the content capture of an environment of a vehicle is disclosed. The method uses an artificial intelligence neural network, on the basis of a point cloud generated by an environment sensor of the vehicle. The method involves performing reference measurements by the environment sensor to capture reference objects depending on positions in the environment in relation to the environment sensor, generating confidence values depending on positions in the environment in relation to the environment sensor on the basis of the reference measurements by the environment sensor to capture the reference objects, training the artificial intelligence for the content capture of the environment on the basis of training point clouds for the environment sensor, capturing the environment by the environment sensor to generate the point cloud, and processing the point cloud generated by the environment sensor using the trained artificial intelligence for the content capture of the environment.
