  • Publication number: 20240085755
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, apparatuses, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media related to a display construct coupled to a structure (e.g., a vision window). The structure can be a supportive structure such as a fixture. The display construct is configured to facilitate media display and is at least partially transparent. The vision window may be a tintable window, e.g., a window in which its tint is electrically controllable (e.g., an electrochromic window). Various interactive capabilities with the display construct are disclosed (e.g., via a touch screen).

  • Patent number: 11054015
    Abstract: A gearbox for a planetary gear having a hollow-cylindrical housing body having a first internal gear, and a bearing flange engaging at least in sections coaxially in the housing body, so that an overlap area is formed, wherein the housing body and the bearing flange are firmly bonded to each other in the overlap area by laser irradiation welding. The bearing flange has a second internal gear in the overlap area. The gearbox relates to a planetary gear and a motor/transmission combination having such a gearbox and a production method thereof.

  • Patent number: 10539219
    Abstract: A housing for a motor-transmission unit with at least two housing sections which have in each case at least one accommodation segment for receiving a motor and an internally-toothed, internal ring gear segment for receiving a gear of a planetary gear unit, wherein the housing sections can be or are connected with each other and wherein, in the assembled state, the accommodation segments of the housing sections together form at least one accommodation compartment for holding the motor, and the internal ring gear segments of the housing sections together form an internal ring gear for mating with a gear on the planetary gear unit.

  • Patent number: 9702036
    Abstract: A PVD layer system for the coating of workpieces encompasses at least one mixed-crystal layer of a multi-oxide having the following composition: (Me11-xMe2x)2O3, where Me1 and Me2 each represent at least one of the elements Al, Cr, Fe, Li, Mg, Mn, Nb, Ti, Sb or V. The elements of Me1 and Me2 differ from one another. The crystal lattice of the mixed-crystal layer in the PVD layer system has a corundum structure which in an x-ray diffractometrically analyzed spectrum of the mixed-crystal layer is characterized by at least three of the lines associated with the corundum structure. Also disclosed is a vacuum coating method for producing a mixed-crystal layer of a multi-oxide, as well as correspondingly coated tools and components.
