Patent number: 11293799Abstract: A sensing device includes an aperture structure having an aperture and imaging optics configured to direct polychromatic light toward the aperture. The imaging optics separates the light according to spectral range longitudinally along a first axis The aperture substantially transmits a spectral range of the light and substantially blocks other spectral ranges of the light. An optical detector is arranged to receive the spectral range of the light that is transmitted through the aperture. The optical detector generate an electrical output that corresponds to a centroid of the spectral range of the light.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Palo Alto Research Center IncorporatedInventors: Peter Kiesel, Philipp Schmaelzle, Konrad Bellmann, Markus Beck

Publication number: 20210146897Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating a braking assembly of a motor vehicle, in which a first hydraulic braking system is operated as a function of a target deceleration. A second electromechanical braking system can be activated for decelerating the motor vehicle. It is proposed that a braking force of the second braking system is dependent on an actual deceleration.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2018Publication date: May 20, 2021Inventors: Edith Mannherz, Philipp Schmaelzle
