  • Method for structuring an object with the aid of a particle beam apparatus
    Patent number: 9905395
    Abstract: Methods for structuring objects with a particle beam apparatus are disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 2015
    Date of Patent: February 27, 2018
    Assignee: Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH
    Inventor: Simon Stegmaier
  • Method for operating a safety control device
    Patent number: 9405278
    Abstract: A safety control device for safely controlling a hazardous installation has a first and a second calculation unit and an output unit for driving at least one actuator. The control device acquires an input signal and determines a floating point value depending on the input signal. The first and second calculation units each determine an input interval as a function of the floating point value. The first and second calculation units each further determine a result interval as a function of the input interval by applying a first calculation algorithm to the input interval. The first calculation algorithm is based on interval arithmetic. The result intervals from the first and second calculation units are compared and an output value is determined as a function of the result intervals. An output signal is determined as a function of the output value. The output signal drives the at least one actuator.
