  • Patent number: 12017578
    Abstract: An automobile rear lighting includes a first emitter that emits a first light through a cover and a second emitter that emits a second light, different from the first light, through the cover such that an output light including the first light and the second light is emitted through the cover. The automobile rear lighting also includes a driving apparatus. The driving apparatus provides a first driving current to the first emitter and a second driving current to the second emitter. The driving apparatus adapts a magnitude of the first driving current and the second driving current based on at least one of at least one property of the cover or at least one optical component of the automobile rear lighting and a pre-defined color coordinates specification for the output light.

  • Patent number: 11123242
    Abstract: A motorized wheelchair chassis includes a frame assembly having a first frame element that supports first and second caster wheels at an end of the first frame element. The first frame element is designed to support a seat assembly, a battery support assembly secured to an underside of the frame assembly, at least one battery, first and second power drive assemblies disposed on lateral sides of the battery support assembly, and first and second drive wheels driven by the first and second power drive assemblies, respectively. The frame assembly further comprises a second frame element that is secured to the battery support assembly. The first frame element is supported onto the second frame element via a coupling structure comprising a ball-joint bearing permitting relative movement of the first frame element with respect to the second frame element in more than two degrees of freedom within a limited range of movement.

  • Patent number: 8616150
    Abstract: A device for blocking workpieces for the processing and/or coating thereof, has a support surface for positioning the workpiece to be blocked, a blocking station in which the workpiece can be blocked on a blocking piece by a temporarily deformable blocking material, and a transport device which has a retaining head for the workpiece and by which a relative movement can be created between the workpiece being retained at the retaining head, and the support surface and the blocking station. The transport device has at least four position-controlled movement axes, by which to position the workpiece in a defined manner in consideration of the orientation and geometric information relative to a blocking piece located in the blocking station, and can be retained in the defined relative position to the blocking piece during blocking while leaving a blocking material accommodation gap between the workpiece and the blocking piece.

  • Patent number: 5171098
    Abstract: A device for releasably connecting first and second rods together is characterized by a connecting flange mounted on one end surface of the first rod by a self-tapping screw. The flange includes at least one latch projecting from a surface thereof to engage a recess in the first rod in a form-locking manner. With the flange mounted on the end of the first rod, the first rod is connected with a side of the second rod so that the rods have perpendicular longitudinal axes. The second rod contains a groove along its side in which a pair of nuts are retained. Fastening screws pass through grooves in the first rod, through openings in the flange and into tap holes in the nuts to threadably connect the first rod with the second.
