  • Publication number: 20220004675
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for vehicle impact analysis including obtaining a B-Rep representing an outer surface of a vehicle, the B-Rep having faces and obtaining a radius value for a contact sphere. The method also includes determining one or more two-point-contact curves of the B-Rep for the radius value. The determining includes, for each respective two-point-contact curve, solving a respective differential equation based on the B-Rep. The method forms an improved solution for vehicle impact analysis.

  • Publication number: 20220004674
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for vehicle impact analysis including obtaining a B-Rep representing an outer surface of a vehicle, the B-Rep having faces and obtaining a radius value for a contact sphere. The method also includes determining one or more two-point-contact curves of the B-Rep for the radius value. The determining includes, for each respective pair of portions of a plurality of pairs of portions of the B-Rep, applying a respective two-point-contact-curve computing algorithm. The computing algorithm is based on the respective pair of portions. The computing algorithm is parallelized over the plurality of pairs of portions. The method forms an improved solution for vehicle impact analysis.

  • Patent number: 6450598
    Abstract: A storage and retrieval system (10) includes a housing (11) accommodating a plurality of carriers (12). These are assignable y a transport device (13) to at least one access opening (14) provided in the housing (11). Provided at the access opening (14) is a closing device (17) comprising at least two closing elements (18a, 18b) arranged opposite each other which can be shifted horizontally and signalled dedicated to thus form an access window (16) in the access opening (14) by an uncomplicated structural design.

  • Patent number: 5947734
    Abstract: A tooth implant arrangement has an implant body which can be inserted in a jaw or jawbone and a structural member which can be detachably secured to the implant body by means of a bolt-like mounting element, and on which a cap, a replacement crown or the like can be placed and secured. The structural member is mounted so as to be resiliently movable relative to the implant body in the axial and/or the sagittal directions. The mobility of a tooth implant arrangement of this type in the jaw or jawbone is comparable to that of a natural tooth.
