  • Patent number: 12237702
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device for wireless charging of an electrical energy store of a mobile terminal for a motor vehicle, the device including charging electronics positioned within a housing. The housing includes a support region on which to place the mobile terminal, the support region including at least two elevations, each elevation has a first predetermined height extends along a length of the support region, and is arranged in parallel at a predetermined distance from one another. When the mobile terminal is placed on the at least two elevations, an air channel is formed. The housing includes at least one air inlet opening and at least one air outlet opening configured to blow air out into the air channel. Furthermore, at least one barrier that swirls the air blown out into the air channel is arranged in the air channel.

  • Patent number: 12064856
    Abstract: An eccentric drive 1 for a portable power tool 2 has a motor 5, an eccentric wheel 6, a linear guide 9, a slide 8 and a connecting rod 7, which has a head 17 suspended on the slide 8 and a second head 15 suspended on the eccentric wheel 6. A bearing bush 16 for the rotatable mounting of the connecting rod 7 is provided at least on one of the two heads 17. The head 15 is composed of an injection molding material. The bearing bush 16 is composed of a fiber composite material, which includes continuous carbon fibers 25 embedded in a thermoplastic matrix.

  • Publication number: 20230049292
    Abstract: A robotic system includes an instrument including an elongate shaft, a robotic manipulator configured to manipulate the elongate shaft of the instrument, and control circuitry communicatively coupled to the robotic manipulator and configured to determine a first estimated position of at least a portion of the elongate shaft of the instrument based at least in part on robotic command data, determine a second estimated position of the at least a portion of the elongate shaft of the instrument based at least in part on position sensor data, compare the first estimated position and the second estimated position, and generate a third estimated position based at least in part on the comparison of the first estimated position to the second estimated position.

  • Patent number: 11510736
    Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating instrument location are described. The methods and systems can obtain a first motion estimate based on robotic data and a second motion estimate based on position sensor data. The methods and systems can determine a motion estimate disparity based on a comparison of the first and second motion estimates. Based on the motion estimate disparity, the methods and systems can update a weighting factor for a location derivable from the robotic data or a weighting factor for a location derivable from the position sensor data. Based on the updated weighting factor, the methods and systems can determine a location/position estimate for the instrument. The methods and systems can provide increased accuracy for a position estimate in cases where the instrument experiences buckling or hysteresis.

  • Patent number: 10717395
    Abstract: The approach relates to an energy absorption element for a support frame of a motor vehicle and is characterized in that a cross-sectional profile is designed as a hollow profile which remains constant along a longitudinal direction of the energy absorption element having at least two closed chambers, so that the energy absorption element comprises at least two mutually separate chamber cavities and the at least two chamber cavities have an elongated shape along the longitudinal direction of the energy absorption element and each chamber cavity is open at two longitudinal ends of the energy absorption element and each chamber cavity is fluidly connected to a sound generator.
