Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, a system of generating a two-dimensional (2D) image of an environment includes a 2D scanner system that includes a measurement device that is mounted to a first body equipment of an operator and one or more processors that are mounted to a second body equipment of the operator. The measurement device includes a light source, an image sensor, and a controller to determine a distance value to one or more object points. The processors generate a 2D submap of the environment in response to an activation signal from the operator and based at least in part on the distance value, each submap generated from a respective point in the environment. Further, the processors generate a 2D image of the environment using multiple 2D submaps.

Abstract: In a gas mixing system for producing high-precision, continuous streams of mixed gas consisting of a plurality of individually metered gas components, with an individual gas line including a pressure reducing element and, if desired, a precision pressure regulator for each gas component, precision is further improved by providing that each gas line lead to a separate valve which is timed by electronic control means, the valves being connected at the input side via a jointly vented system of lines for pressure equalization, and communicating at the output side via a mixed gas line with a mixing chamber downstream thereof.
