Abstract: A camera system includes a sensor having a plurality of pixels sensitive to electromagnetic radiation; and an evaluator. The sensor is arranged behind a semi-transparent layer. The evaluator is configured to suppress an interference pattern occurring on the sensor by a pixel-by-pixel correction.

Abstract: Computer readable instructions for operations that cause a processor to receive, by a remote recommendation server, a request comprising requestor information characterizing a site of a plurality of sites. The operations cause the processor to receive, by a site database, the requestor information, wherein the site database stores historical data characterizing the plurality of sites over time. The operations also cause the processor to receive, a recommendation engine, the requestor information and generate, by the recommendation engine, a set of plans to curtail the carbon footprint of the site based on the requestor information. The operations further cause the processor to simulate, by the recommendation engine, execution of the set of plans to curtail the carbon footprint of the site and select, by the recommendation engine, a plan of the set of plans to curtail the carbon footprint of the site.

Abstract: A drilling machine having a three jaw system on each of two wrench assemblies, for gripping and rotating a pipe. Each wrench assembly has a frame, and hosts a trio of jaws: a lower jaw on a sliding subframe, and two upper jaws, each on an arm which is pivotally attached to the sliding subframe. Actuators, such as hydraulic cylinders, extend between the frame and one of the arms. As actuators extend, the subframe is carried toward a pipe joint. Upon contact between the pipe joint and the lower jaw, the arms pivot, causing the upper jaws to contact and grip the pipe joint. The wrenches of the wrench assembly may be adjustable relative to one another along a longitudinal axis of the pipe.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a time-of-flight camera comprising: a time-of-flight sensor having several time-of-flight pixels for determining a phase shift of emitted and captured light, distance values being determined in accordance with the detected phase shifts, characterised in that the time-of-flight camera has a memory in which parameters of a point spread function, which characterise the time-of-flight camera and the time-of-flight sensor, are stored; an evaluation unit which is designed to deploy a detected complex-valued image in Fourier space, in accordance with the stored point-spread function, and a complex-valued image corrected by diffused light is determined and the phase shifts or distance values are determined using the corrected complex-valued image.

Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a trackless tugger train having at least one transportation module and at least two axle modules. Each transportation module is arranged between two axle modules, wherein each axle module has a wheel axle and a steering device for steering the wheel axle, wherein the steering devices of the axle module are embodied in each case in such a way that each steering device steers the axle module which is assigned to it, independently of a steering device of another axle module.

Abstract: A railless tugger train (100) includes a train module (10), at least one transportation module and at least two axis modules, wherein each axis module has a stiffly configured axis beam, at which a first mounting device is configured in the form of a stiff mounting of the train module or a transportation module and at which a second mounting device is configured for an articulated connection of a transportation module. At least two wheels (19) are mounted at the axis beam in such a way that the wheels are each rotatable around a rotation axis (D) which is configured vertical to the longitudinal axis (L) of the axis beam.
