  • Patent number: 8968059
    Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus for processing meat, in particular fish, comprising a processing tool, an actuating unit associated with the processing tool for moving the processing tool out of a starting position into a processing position and vice versa, and a control device which is operatively connected to the processing tool or actuating unit for control of the processing tool, which is distinguished in that the actuating unit comprises a cylinder unit having two pressure cylinders which are arranged one behind the other and connected to each other, wherein the processing tool is arranged on one of the two pressure cylinders of the cylinder unit and the two pressure cylinders can be controlled independently of each other. Furthermore, the invention concerns a corresponding method.

  • Patent number: 8753179
    Abstract: An apparatus for the automated mechanical processing of pieces of meat conveyed in a row comprises a transporting device, a cutting device having a cutting head and a control device. The cutting device comprises a holding and guiding device on which the cutting head is movably arranged to execute separating cuts at an angle to the straight conveying direction along the straight movement path at a fixed guiding tilt angle (?). A transport belt forming a component of the transporting device and transporting the meat pieces in a lying manner passes continuously by the holding and guiding device. The cutting element which, for cutting, is formed by a rotationally driven circular blade limited at its height position over the transport belt. The control device correlates a velocity component (VT) of the movement velocity of the cutting head, which velocity component of the movement is in conveying direction with the conveying velocity of the meat pieces in the conveying direction when executing the separating cuts.

  • Publication number: 20130085637
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for assisting a driver of a motor vehicle (1) when parking in a parking space (19), in particular in a garage (18), using a driver assistance device (2) of the motor vehicle (1), wherein: in a learning mode of the driver assistance device (2), reference data related to the surrounding area (22) of the parking space (19) are recorded and stored using a sensor device (7) of the driver assistance device (2), while the motor vehicle (1) is parked in the parking space (19) while controlled by the driver, a reference target position (27), which is reached by the motor vehicle (1) in the learning mode, is recorded by the driver assistance device (2) and data with information about this reference target position (27) are stored, in a subsequent operating mode of the driver assistance device (2) different from the learning mode, sensor data are detected by the sensor device (7) and compared with the reference data, wherein depending on this comparison the surrounding area (22) of t

  • Publication number: 20120072067
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for executing an at least semi-autonomous parking process of a vehicle (13) by means of a parking assistance system (15), in which ambient conditions of the vehicle (13) are sensed as it travels past a potential parking space (3), and a parking path is determined as a function of the ambient conditions and of the parking space (3), wherein the ambient conditions comprise at least one obstacle (18, 18?, 18?) which is external to the parking space and does not directly bound the parking space (3) and is detected as near to the vehicle and is taken into account in the determination of the parking path (3), wherein the parking process is executed in a plurality of manoeuvres (26, 27, 29; 34, 38, 39), and at least one manoeuvre (26, 27, 29; 34, 38, 39) which is executed with an autonomous steering intervention is determined in terms of its profile as a function of the obstacle (18, 18?, 18?). The invention also relates to a parking assistance system (15) for a vehicle (13).

  • Publication number: 20120065877
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for displaying objects in the surroundings of a vehicle having a sensor arrangement (10), in order to sense objects in the surroundings of the vehicle and to determine the position thereof relative to the vehicle (1), wherein the sensor arrangement (10) covers, with its detection range (10), only a partial area of the surroundings of the vehicle. In order to improve the assistance provided to the driver during parking processes and the processes of removing a vehicle from a parking space, the processing device is designed to determine the area (E) of the surroundings of the vehicle for which no object information is yet available, since said area (E) has not yet been passed over by the detection range (D) of the sensor arrangement (10), and the display device (20) is designed to display the extent of this area (E).
