  • Patent number: 9914257
    Abstract: A blow mould for producing plastic containers comprises at least two blow mould parts and a hollow space formed from the at least two blow mould parts at which plastic parisons are transformed by an application of a flowable medium to the plastic containers. The hollow space includes an interior wall that has a contour which produces a predetermined configuration of the plastic containers. A first portion of at least two blow mould parts produces a bottom of the plastic containers. A second portion of the at least two blow mould parts has an opening region for discharging a gaseous medium during an expansion process of the plastic containers. The opening region extends along a first line and a second line, wherein the first and second lines run at least in some sections of the blow mould at an angle different from 0° relative to one another.

  • Patent number: 4809213
    Abstract: A two-track convolver has input transducer assemblies at each end of integrated electrodes. Each of the input transducer assemblies is formed of two individual transducers which are connected in series. One of the transducer input assemblies connects to an input signal and the other of the input assemblies connects to a reference signal. Transducers which are diagonally arranged with respect to the two integration electrodes connect to reference potential. For a given input impedance, the system permits a greatest possible chirp duration corresponding to a large length of the individual transducers.

  • Patent number: 4397547
    Abstract: A lens module for use in an opto-electronic range finder double ray deflection for the projection of two images of an object onto two linear image sensors disposed in a single image plane has a prismatic body having a trapezoidal base with a V-shaped notch in a central area of the longer of the parallel trapezoid sides of the base. The surfaces of the notch are substantially parallel to the nearest non-parallel trapezoid side. A projection from the shorter parallel trapezoid side has a pair of light exit ports leading to the respective image sensors and a pair of light inlet ports are disposed at opposite ends of the longer parallel trapezoid side.

  • Patent number: 4370724
    Abstract: A circuit for sensor controlled distance measurement is disclosed having two linear image sensors which are positioned to receive corresponding lines of two images derived from an object. The sensor signals are subjected to correlation measurements from which the distance of the object is determined. In the case of circuits of this sort, one endeavors to attain as exact and unfalsified a distance measurement as possible. For this purpose, the sensor signals are digitalized in evaluators, then read via transfer transistors into shift registers which undertake relative position displacements of the sensor signals in a longitudinal direction of the image sensors between individual signal cycles, and are subject to a correlation measurement. The circuit distinguishes itself in that the digital evaluation proceeds completely independently of parameters of the shift register and is thus carried out very precisely. Applications include photographic and electronic cameras.

  • Patent number: 4367534
    Abstract: A circuit for sensor-controlled telemetry has two linear image sensors each having a number of opto-electronic sensor elements on which are projected sections of corresponding lines of two separately-obtained images from an object whose range is to be determined and has a single-input evaluator post connected to each sensor element through switching transistors, which evaluators are switchable between two logic states dependent upon whether a voltage generated by accumulated charge in a sensor element is above or below a reference potential. The digitalized signals from each evaluator are serially transmitted through respective associated shift registers to a logic circuit which compares the contents of stages of shift registers for each image sensor for determining coincidence of the digital signals.

  • Patent number: 4360256
    Abstract: A photographic or electronic camera optoelectronic distance measuring system has a lens with two partial aperture diaphragms which create first and second partial bundles of rays. Two linear image sensors are provided together with optical devices for projecting segments of lines corresponding to two images obtained from the object onto the image sensors. An evaluating circuit, in dependence upon varying position displacements of sensor signals obtained from the one image sensor with respect to the sensor signals obtained from the other image sensor, determines a maximum correlation between these and an associated position displacement. A device is provided for deflecting the ray path at least partially into a view finder. Two focusing lens parts are arranged in a region of an eyepiece of the view finder which locate partial aperture diaphragms of the lens by imaging in the plane of the view finder eyepiece.

  • Patent number: 4359274
    Abstract: A photographic or electronic camera is disclosed having an optoelectronic distance meter. Linear sensors are provided and by way of partial aperture diaphragms associated with a lens first and second images are created and projectd onto the image sensors. An evaluating circuit, in dependence upon varied position displacements of the sensor signals, determines a maximum correlation between the signals and an associated position displacement with a corresponding electrical value corresponding to distance. A stringing mirror deflects the path of rays either into the view finder or to an image plane for picture taking. The swinging mirror has apertures positioned to permit the first and second bundles of rays to pass therethrough. Deflection elements are attached to the swinging mirror and are positioned to direct the partial bundles of rays passing through the apertures such that the images are projected onto the image sensors.

  • Patent number: 4335317
    Abstract: A circuit for sensor-controlled telemetry has two linear image sensors each having a number of sensor elements onto which image sensors portions of corresponding lines of two separately obtained images of an object are projected and a number of evaluators post-connected to the sensor elements each being switchable between two states as a function of the amount of charge optionally generated in the sensor elements, each evaluator having two inputs respectively connected through switching transistors to the outputs of two sensor elements for comparing the charges generated thereby. The two sensor elements connected to each comparator may be adjacent to each other or disposed at a small distance from each other. Each evaluator provides a digital output to a shift register for serially transferring the data to a processing circuit which undertakes a maximum correlation of the data received from the evaluators, and transmits the data to a post-connected display or focusing device.

  • Patent number: 4334150
    Abstract: A circuit for sensor-controlled distance measurement with two linear image sensors is disclosed. These sensors are exposed to lines corresponding to two images derived from one object. The sensor signals are subjected to correlation measurements, from which the range of the object is determined. An exposure-measuring circuit determines the optimum integration time of the sensor elements. In the case of such circuits, one sets as exact a distance measurement as possible. For this purpose, comparing sensor elements of the exposure-measuring circuit, which are provided with a mean value of the exposure of many sensor locations, are designed such that they extend only over a part of the sensor lines. They are arranged in a sequence which runs along the entire sensor line. A separate controlling of the optimum integration time proceeds over individual line portions. A range of application for the invention encompasses photographic and electronic cameras.

It is positioned for exposure to an optically generated charge quantity which corresponds to a plurality of sensor elements in at least one of the image sensors. The comparison sensor element is designed as a strip-shaped photodiode arranged next to the sensor element row in at least one of the image sensors.
