  • Patent number: 9952020
    Abstract: In a method for visually adaptively camouflaging objects, the background and/or the surroundings in front of which and/or in which the object is situated are/is detected by means of a camera or a sensor array. The background and/or the surroundings thus detected are/is reproduced as an image (3) in a device for camouflaging the object.

  • Patent number: 9163907
    Abstract: In a system for the adaptive camouflage of objects, particularly of vehicles, at least one panel-like layer (5) is provided, which is at least partially air-permeable. The air suctioned in from the surroundings can be controlled, before or while it is fed into the layer, to a temperature that is determined at least almost from the background of the object.

  • Patent number: 8528794
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispenser for dispensing an adhesive or sealant from a vessel, in particular from a pressurized vessel, via a valve. For this purpose, the dispenser is equipped with a lever with a grip region for actuating the valve. The dispenser also has an attachment, on which the lever is fitted in a pivotable manner, and an actuator with a supporting region for the lever. The actuator is configured such that it can be rotated relative to the attachment, and the supporting region is therefore variable, in order to change the effective lever path for the actuation of the valve, for activating or deactivating the dispenser or for varying the volume flow as product is dispensed.

  • Patent number: 7832018
    Abstract: A camouflage suit for reducing the discoverability of persons in the visible and infrared spectrum, as for example the thermal infrared spectrum, exhibits a breath-active fabric exhibiting an open fabric structure based on a textile backing. The backing here exhibits a low-emitting surface. This can be achieved by at least partly sheathing or coating the textile backing with an electrically conductive material.
