  • Method for manufacturing a piston indicator for a camshaft
    Patent number: 11913363
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a position indicator sensor wheel for a camshaft is disclosed. The position indicator includes an axially extending passage for connecting to the camshaft and at least one radially projecting tooth. The method includes providing a sheet from a sheet material; introducing the passage into the sheet; and roughening a radial inner surface of the passage in at least one rough portion.

  • Method for operating a laser device, resonator arrangement and use of a phase shifter
    Patent number: 10720750
    Abstract: A method for operating a laser device, including providing a laser pulse in a resonator so that the laser pulse circulates in the resonator, the laser pulse having a carrier wave; determining an offset frequency (f0) of the frequency comb corresponding to the laser pulse, the frequency comb having a plurality of laser modes (fm) at a distance (frep) from one another, the frequencies of which can be described by the formula: fm=m*frep+f0, m being a natural number, and varying the offset frequency (f0) by varying a geometric phase (??) that is imparted to the carrier wave of the laser pulse per resonator circulation.
