Patent number: 8601947Abstract: An apparatus and a method for evaluating control marks on printing materials by an optical sensor connected to a computer, which interprets overshooting of a predefined intensity threshold as it registers the printing material being a line of a printed control mark. The apparatus is distinguished by the fact that the control mark is registered by a color measuring instrument and that the intensity threshold of the optical sensor is calculated by the computer in dependence on the measured color value registered by the color measuring instrument.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2009Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Michael Kaiser, Frank Schumann

Patent number: 8520255Abstract: A method for color measurement of printing materials produced in printing machines includes a first color measurement instrument in the printing machine measuring the color of printing materials, a second color measurement instrument outside the printing machine measuring the color of printing materials produced in the printing machine and a computer communicating with the instruments, storing nominal color values and regulating color in inking units of printing units with the first instrument based on deviations from the stored nominal color values, determined on the printing materials in the printing machine. Printing materials produced by the printing machine are recorded by the second instrument. The second instrument records deviations from an original based on the color measured values determined on printing materials.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2010Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventor: Michael Kaiser

Patent number: 8182040Abstract: A forward tiltable motor vehicle seat having a seat carrier, a seat back and a hinge mounting arranged therebetween. The hinge mounting has an upper hinge arm connected to the seat back and a lower hinge arm hinged to the seat carrier about a forward tilt axis. The hinge mounting comprises a locking device on one seat side and at least one detent bight that is arranged to move together with the upper hinge arm on the other seat side. A movable detent part is provided and comprises at least one detent projection that: cooperates with the detent bight, is normally not engaged with the detent bight, and when the seat back is tilted forward about the forward tilt axis, is at least ready for engagement with the detent bight or engaged therewith.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2008Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: C. Rob. Hammerstein GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Andreas Müller, Michael Kaiser, Andras Hoffmann

Patent number: 8154761Abstract: A method for color regulation of reproduction copies of a printing press prints a substrate, which appears dark in a standardized color measurement, with at least one printing ink which is lighter than the substrate. At least one color value of the printing ink is determined from a measured variable, and the color value of the at least one printing ink is regulated with the aid of a fixed reference value of a color locus in the color space which is lighter than the printing ink.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2007Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Werner Huber, Michael Kaiser

Publication number: 20120032414Abstract: A bicycle frame, particularly a racing bicycle frame, comprises two bars. The bars are connected to a head member for connection to a saddle member. In their frame-side end region, the two bars are formed as a hollow profile. In this region, the two bars have a semicircular cross section so that a common contact face is formed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2010Publication date: February 9, 2012Inventor: Michael Kaiser

Patent number: 8063184Abstract: The present invention provides novel cleavage agents and polymerases for the cleavage and modification of nucleic acid. The cleavage agents and polymerases find use, for example, for the detection and characterization of nucleic acid sequences and variations in nucleic acid sequences. In some embodiments, the 5? nuclease activity of a variety of enzymes is used to cleave a target-dependent cleavage structure, thereby indicating the presence of specific nucleic acid sequences or specific variations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2010Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Third Wave Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Hatim Allawi, Brad T. Argue, Christian Tor Bartholomay, LuAnne Chehak, Michelle L. Curtis, Peggy S. Eis, Jeff G. Hall, Hon S. Ip, Lin Ji, Michael Kaiser, Robert W. Kwiatkowski, Jr., Andrew A.

Patent number: 7882783Abstract: A method for digital imaging of a printing form (10) through application of energy is described, in which a burn-off area (66) is detachably fixed by supporting points (68, 84), supporting points (68, 84) being left in place on the printing form (10) through non-imaging of image spots (112) and in which the burn-off from the burn-off area (66) is detached from the printing form (10) in a cleaning step. A supporting point (68, 84) at a reference point is left in place precisely if the number of image spots (110) to be imaged in a surrounding area (18) of the reference point (12) exceeds a limit value and a boundary area (20) in the surrounding area (18) around the reference point (12) contains only image spots (110) to be imaged.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2003Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Michael Kaiser, Ludo Kerz

Patent number: 7860587Abstract: A display and/or operating device for controlling machines includes a projection device for projecting an image onto a projection area, an acquisition device for scanning the same projection area, and a control computer for controlling the projection device and the acquisition device. The present invention is distinguished by the fact that, by the acquisition device and the control computer, an analysis of the same projection surface can be carried out, and that the content of the image to be projected can be controlled by the control computer as a function of the result of the analysis of the same projection area.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2005Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Winfried Berg, Volkhard Franke, Dieter Hauck, Michael Kaiser, Manfred Schneider, Bernhard Wagensommer
