  • Publication number: 20230399815
    Abstract: In a control method for actuating a manually actuated lever provided for actuating an operation and/or work function, the manually actuated lever includes a device for hand detection, which releases an actuation of the operation and/or work function when a sensor-based evaluation of the positioning of a palm resting on a handle piece of the manually actuated lever surmises an activating intent on the part of an operator. In the event that the manually actuated lever is deflected from a neutral or rest position, an operating command corresponding to the current deflection state is generated, wherein a control command intended to execute the operation and/or work function is matched, according to a predefined transition function and via a control unit, to the operating command resulting from the deflection state, as soon as the actuation of the operation and/or work function is released by the device for hand detection.

  • Publication number: 20230088649
    Abstract: A method for aligning a workpiece in a working space of a machine tool having a numerical control system uses a probe. 3D models of the working space, probe, and workpiece are virtually displayed. The workpiece is positioned in the working space and the virtual workpiece is positioned in the virtual working space so that there is an initial coincidence between positions thereof. The probe is manually positioned relative to the workpiece, wherein a planned probing point and probing direction are selected based on a minimum distance of the virtual probe from the virtual workpiece, and are displayed. Enabling of the probing is based on quality of the planned probing point, and, when enabled, a probing operation is triggered, and coordinates of a probing point are determined. The position of the workpiece is recalculated using these coordinates, and the position of the virtual workpiece is updated.

  • Patent number: 10337918
    Abstract: An optical spectrometer with a tilted or brazed optical grating is useful to identify material composition, estimate physical characteristics, and measure physical conditions. Light from a sample or a space reflects to the grating; and stray light from the grating directed on an optical sensor (which can be a single sensor) and converted into an electrical signal, to obtain information about the sample or space. Examples of scanning include altering an angle the light strays from the optical grating by applying a strain to the optical grating, moving the optical sensor, and installing a mirror in the path of the stray light that reciprocatingly pivots over an angular range. In an example, the optical grating is formed on a light transmission medium that mounts to a piezoelectric element, that expands when energized to apply strain to the grating. In an example, the diffraction grating is a Fiber Bragg Grating.

Apparatus include evanescent wave measurement instruments, which may include a substrate configured for contact with a downhole fluid such that at least a portion of the substrate is immersed in the downhole fluid; a waveguide formed in an interior of the substrate and having a configuration geometrically configured to generate an interaction between the downhole fluid and an evanescent wave arising from electromagnetic energy propagating in a segment of the waveguide; and a detector configured to generate measurement information indicative of the downhole fluid in response to electromagnetic signals received from the waveguide responsive to the interaction. The interaction may result in absorption of at least a portion of the electromagnetic energy propagating in the waveguide. The waveguide may be written in the substrate using laser pulses.
