  • Patent number: 11543494
    Abstract: A method for scanning solid angles is provided using at least two electromagnetic beams, at least one electromagnetic beam being generated that is subsequently deflected along a horizontal angle and/or along a vertical angle with the aid of a rotatable mirror; the solid angles being scanned using the at least one electromagnetic beam; and at least one reflected electromagnetic beam being received, after being reflected off an object, by a receiving optics that is pivotable along the horizontal angle synchronously with the mirror. Furthermore, a LIDAR device for carrying out the method is provided.

  • Patent number: 11520016
    Abstract: A LiDAR system which includes an optical system that encompasses a first lens, which is preferably statically positioned, and a second lens, which is preferably rotatably supported in relation to the first lens. The first lens and the second lens are situated along a shared optical path, and at least either the first lens or the second lens is configured to be set into rotation in order to bring about a beam deflection from the optical path in at least one spatial direction.

  • Patent number: 10899085
    Abstract: A method for producing a multi-component part (200) of a vehicle includes inserting an air-guiding device (10) having at least one contact portion (40) into a cavity (310) of a tool (300). The method then includes heating a composite part (100) having at least one mating contact portion (140) to a melting point of at least one material of the composite part (100), and heating the contact portion (40) of the air-guiding device (10) to a melting point of at least one material of the contact portion (40). The method further includes inserting the heated composite part (100) into the cavity (310) of the tool (300) and pressing the heated composite part (100) into a geometry of the part while simultaneously forming an integrally bonded connection between the mating contact portion (140) of the composite part (100) and the contact portion (40) of the air-guiding device (10).
