  • Patent number: 10940589
    Abstract: The application relates to a haptic system comprising a haptic device that has an end effector terminal and a transmission structure which can generate a translational movement as an output variable, said translational movement extending from the transmission structure to the end effector terminal via a boom such that the end effector terminal moves in a manner that is perceptible to a user, the transmission structure being formed by means of driven linear shafts. The application further relates to a method for operating a haptic system comprising a haptic device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9410772
    Abstract: A ballistic protection configuration includes a plurality of hard-armoring shaped elements which are formed as one piece and have at least two mutually offset planes. At least two of the shaped elements are fixed in a positional relationship with respect to one another in a shaped element composite in such a way that a first plane of a first shaped element overlaps in sections a second plane of a second shaped element. With the at least two overlapping planes of two shaped elements, two whole surfaces, which lie one above the other and offset with respect to one another, are formed in the shaped element composite and make it possible for a shaped element composite to be provided which is completely free of linear penetrations.

  • Patent number: 9139366
    Abstract: A wear protection device including a plurality of shaped elements. The shaped elements are substantially plate-shaped in formation. The shaped elements are formed in an integral manner and have at least two planes which are disposed in an offset manner with respect to one another. At least two of the shaped elements are fixed in a shaped element composite in a positional relationship with respect to one another with a first plane of a first shaped element overlaps in sections a second plane of a second shaped element. In the shaped element composite a first shaped element can overlap in sections up to three further shaped elements in a second planes thereof.
