  • Patent number: 9348093
    Abstract: A display element for an electronic module configured as an optical waveguide arrangement is provided. The display element includes a first optical waveguide part with a first light-receiving surface and a first light-emitting surface. The display element further includes a second optical waveguide part with a second light-receiving surface and a second light-emitting surface. The first optical waveguide part and the second optical waveguide part are arranged opposite one another. A first guide is arranged on an inner side of the first optical waveguide part and a second guide is arranged on an inner side of the second optical waveguide part. The respective inner sides are arranged in relation to one another such that the designation label is configured to be fastened by the first and second guide.

  • Publication number: 20130248650
    Abstract: A helicopter with a fuselage and a skid-type landing gear mounted to said fuselage. Said landing gear comprises pivotable cross beams and skids, said skids being each disposed in an essentially longitudinal direction laterally on a respective side of the helicopter's landing gear. At least one discrete damper is provided for at least one pivotable cross beam, said discrete damper being connected with one end to the pivotable cross beam and with another end to the fuselage. The pivotable cross beam are of the cantilever type. Fixed bearings and floating bearings are provided at the fuselage. Torsion bar springs are mounted to said fixed bearings and said floating bearings, said respective inner end of at least one pivotable cantilever cross beam being attached to said torsion bar spring at the floating bearing in such a manner that moments are transferred from the respective inner end of each pivotable cantilever cross beam via said torsion bar spring to the fuselage at said fixed bearing.
