Publication number: 20180075332Abstract: A method for producing a portable data carrier by means of a continuous production method, in particular a roll-to-roll method, includes the step of processing at least one foil in the form of roll goods. The unrolled foil is coated with an adhesive at least partially on at least one side. Subsequently, the foil is scored along at least one fold edge on at least one side of the foil. The foil is then folded along the scored fold edge in exact register and bonded. For this purpose the foil is folded in the direction of the side that is coated with adhesive, wherein the side coated with adhesive is arranged on the opposite side of the foil which has at least one scored fold edge, along which the folding is effected. Finally, data carriers are punched out in exact register from the at least one folded and bonded foil.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2017Publication date: March 15, 2018Inventors: Stefan BANNERT, Peter KAUFMANN, Lucas PERLITZ, Thomas TARANTINO, Robert GRIESMEIER, Tatjana MOSTHOF, Cordula REGENSBURGER, Martin BOHN

Patent number: 9900505Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a panoramic video from unstructured camera arrays. The systems and methods are configured to statically align corresponding image-frames of respective input video streams, warp the aligned image-frames according to a warping-order, and relax the warped image-frames thereby generating a temporally coherent panoramic video. Methods according to embodiments this invention utilize a new parallax-warping-error metric that is devised to capture structural differences created by parallax artifacts. The parallax-warping-error metric is effective in finding an optimal warping-order and in driving the warping process, resulting in a panoramic video with minimal parallax artifacts.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2014Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: DISNEY ENTERPRISES, INC.Inventors: Federico Perazzi, Alexander Sorkine Hornung, Henning Zimmer, Oliver Wang, Peter Kaufmann, Scott Watson

Patent number: 9127842Abstract: A burner incorporating a pilot cone and a mounting insert is provided. The pilot cone is constructed as a pilot cone assembly which is decoupled from the mounting insert. Further, an operating method for increasing the service life of a burner which incorporates a pilot cone assembly and a mounting insert is provided. The pilot cone assembly has a cone side and incorporates at least one further side where the further side is arranged to be essentially parallel to one of the sides of the mounting insert and spaced apart from it, so that between the further side and the side of the mounting insert there is a defined gap. In an operation of the burner, the gap is significantly reduced by the thermal expansion in at least at one point of contact between the further side and the side of the mounting insert. Finally, an assembly method is provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2009Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Andreas Böttcher, Thomas Grieb, Matthias Hase, Peter Kaufmann, Werner Krebs, Tobias Krieger, Patrick Lapp, Mark F.

Publication number: 20150204760Abstract: A method for monitoring the operation of a gas turbine is provided, in which component vibrations are detected during the operation of the gas turbine by an acceleration sensor arranged on the component, a plurality of signal sections being determined by a plurality of frequency bands fb from the signal forwarded and processed by the acceleration sensor. To avoid an unnecessary shutdown of the gas turbine to perform an inspection which subsequently proves unnecessary, thereby increasing the availability of the gas turbine, a total vibration period is determined by adding together the vibration periods of signal sections during which the amplitudes of the signal sections concerned are greater than a frequency band-specific threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2013Publication date: July 23, 2015Applicant: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Andreas Bottcher, Peter Kaufmann, Tobias Krieger, Jaap van Kampen

Patent number: 9082222Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for physical face cloning to generate a synthetic skin. Rather than attempt to reproduce the mechanical properties of biological tissue, an output-oriented approach is utilized that models the synthetic skin as an elastic material with isotropic and homogeneous properties (e.g., silicone rubber). The method includes capturing a plurality of expressive poses from a human subject and generating a computational model based on one or more material parameters of a material. In one embodiment, the computational model is a compressible neo-Hookean material model configured to simulate deformation behavior of the synthetic skin. The method further includes optimizing a shape geometry of the synthetic skin based on the computational model and the captured expressive poses. An optimization process is provided that varies the thickness of the synthetic skin based on a minimization of an elastic energy with respect to rest state positions of the synthetic skin.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2011Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignees: DISNEY ENTERPRISES, INC., ETH ZURICH (EIDGENOESSISCHE TECHNISCHE HOCHSCHULE ZURICH)Inventors: Bernd Bickel, Peter Kaufmann, Bernhard Thomaszewski, Derek Edward Bradley, Philip John Jackson, Stephen R.
