Publication number: 20220178722Abstract: An optical encoder comprises an emitter; a receiver; a reflector; and a code carrier, wherein the emitter emits electromagnetic radiation along an emission axis in the direction of the reflector and the reflector deflects the electromagnetic radiation along a reception axis in the direction of the receiver. The code carrier is movably supported and has a sequence of code sections to interrupt or to give way for the emitted electromagnetic radiation to impinge on the detector in dependence on the position of the code carrier, wherein the emission axis and the reception axis extend at an alignment angle with respect to one another that has a value in the range from 30 degrees to 150 degrees.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2020Publication date: June 9, 2022Applicant: VISHAY SEMICONDUCTOR GMBHInventors: Daniel BURGER, Sascha KUHN, Peter MÜHLECK, Christina SCHAFF

Patent number: 6223094Abstract: A computer based system is provided that is capable of displaying component and process structures for configurable product classes stored in a data structure. Product classes in the data structure are represented by product nodes. Components, which are abstractions of concrete items used in the product, are represented by component nodes. Component nodes are mapped to each product class with which the component is associated, and are associated with one or more component variants, which are concrete items used in the manufacture of a particular product variant. Process nodes, which are abstractions of actual steps required to produce a product variant, known as process variants, are represented by process nodes. The computer based system can display several alternative views of the data structure. For example, upon receiving a selection for a particular product class, the computer based system converts and can graphically display all component and process nodes associated with that product class.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 1998Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Assignee: SAP AktiengesellschaftInventors: Peter Muehleck, Adam Polly
