  • Patent number: 11821511
    Abstract: A monitoring system for a travel drive includes a rotational speed sensor of a hydrostatic motor. The rotational speed sensor is configured to determine acceleration. At least one signal from a pressure sensor mounted on at least one working line that connects a pump to the hydrostatic motor of a hydrostatic travel drive is evaluated. The pressure sensor is preferably arranged on at least one working connection of the pump. The system uses the additional pressure signal to evaluate in a reliable manner whether the hydrostatic travel drive generates an unwanted drive torque.

  • Publication number: 20230044076
    Abstract: A method fits a digital hearing aid having an input transducer, a signal processing device and an output transducer. The signal processing device is configured to form an evaluation unit, a comparator unit, and a pre-amplification unit. An acoustic test signal is generated by an external testing device while the hearing aid is worn by a hearing-aid wearer. A digital test input signal is generated by the input transducer on the basis of the acoustic test signal. A sound pressure-dependent test quantity is determined on the basis of the digital test input signal by the evaluation unit. A deviation between the sound pressure-dependent test quantity and a reference quantity stored in the signal processing device is determined by the comparator unit. A pre-amplification by the pre-amplification unit is adjusted on the basis of the determined deviation.

  • Patent number: 11513328
    Abstract: A method and microscopy system are useful for recording an image of a sample region. A laser beam is directed onto the sample region with interface(s). An objective lens facilitates images the laser beam on a focusing point which lies on the optical axis of the objective lens or an axis parallel thereto, and which lies in a focusing plane. The objective lens and the sample region are displaced with respect to one another in relative fashion along the optical axis of the objective lens to different relative displacement positions. Intensity values of the laser beam are captured for a respective relative displacement position. A respective highest intensity value for a respective displacement position, a curve of the highest intensity values, and a reference relative displacement position from at least one maximum of the curve, are determined. Image(s) of the sample region is/are captured at the reference relative displacement position.

  • Patent number: 11487919
    Abstract: A cable driving a large system such as cable driven machines, cable cars or tendons in a human or robot is typically modeled as a large number of small segments that are connected via joints. The two main difficulties with this model are satisfying the inextensibility constraint and handling the typically large mass ratio between the segments and the objects they connect. This disclosure introduces an effective approach to solving these problems. The introduced approach simulates the effect of a cable using a new type of distance constraint called ‘cable joint’ that changes both its attachment points and its rest length dynamically. The introduced approach models a cable connecting a series of objects, e.g., components of a robot, as a sequence of cable joints, reducing the complexity of the simulation from the order of the number of segments in the cable to the number of connected objects.
