Patent number: 11946873Abstract: A detection device for detecting contamination of an optical element. The detection device includes a coupling device, including a first coupling element for coupling light of at least one wavelength from a light source into the optical element, and a second coupling element for coupling light out from the optical element, at least one of the coupling elements including a hologram, and having a detector for acquiring the coupled-out light.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2019Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Annette Frederiksen, Stefanie Hartmann, Tobias Peterseim

Patent number: 11724286Abstract: An apparatus for detecting matter comprises bulk feeding means configured for feeding a plurality of objects into a detecting region; at least one light source having a focusing element and being configured for illuminating at least one object moving in an object plane in the detecting region; and a first light-analyzing apparatus arranged to sense light that has been transmitted through the object. In the associated method, the object is caused to move in the plane and the object is illuminated with incident light. Light that has been transmitted through the object and is falling in a measuring plane is detected, and an object-specific parameter based on the detected transmitted light is determined.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2014Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: TOMRA SORTING NVInventors: Dirk Balthasar, Tobias Hartmann, John McGloughlin, Douglas Alexander Reid

Patent number: 11163405Abstract: A touch-sensitive and/or proximity-sensitive input device has an operator panel, a sensor film and a carrier plate, arranged on a side of the operator panel that is facing away from a user. The sensor film has at least one capacitive sensor area and also at least one antenna element. Provided on the carrier plate are a sensor circuit that is connected to the capacitive sensor areas and an antenna circuit that is connected to the antenna element. Such an input device can be used for example in electronic domestic appliances or commercial laundry treatment appliances.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Diehl AKO Stiftung & Co. KGInventors: Tobias Hartmann, Andreas Brauchle

Patent number: 10920876Abstract: A method for operating a drivetrain of a motor vehicle includes elevating a system pressure acting on a plurality of shift elements (A, B, C, D, E, F) when one of at least one positively locking shift element (A, F) is closed in a force-locking-free state, increasing a torque output by a drive assembly (15) and then subsequently reducing the torque output by the drive assembly (15) while the system pressure is elevated by an intervention with the drive assembly (15), and reducing the system pressure after reducing the torque output by the drive assembly (15). The one of the at least one positively locking shift element (A, F) closed in the force-locking-free state or another one of the at least one positively locking shift element (A, F) is opened while the system pressure is elevated and the torque output by the drive assembly (15) changes.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AGInventors: Michael Sohler, Magnus Stiefenhofer, Tobias Hartmann

Publication number: 20200380475Abstract: A method is for inserting a further data block into a first ledger, the first ledger including data blocks. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving a further medical dataset via an interface; determining the further data block via a calculation unit. The further data block includes the further medical dataset and a further link information. The further link information includes a hash of at least one of the data blocks of the first ledger. Finally, in an embodiment the method includes inserting the further data block into the first ledger via the calculation unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2019Publication date: December 3, 2020Applicant: Siemens Healthcare GmbHInventors: Benedikt KRUEGER, Thomas FRIESE, Thomas GOSSLER, Tilo CHRIST, Michael KELM, Moritz UEBLER, Friedrich HEGENDOERFER, Frank STEINMETZ, Markus KIRCHNER, Tobias HARTMANN, Michael ROMMEL, Swen CAMPAGNA, Xiang Sean ZHOU, Eric ALBRECHT, Robert SOELLNER

Patent number: 10744108Abstract: An application of omega-3 and/or omega-6 fatty acid(s) for the therapeutic treatment of the human or animal body in the case of an impaired sphingolipid metabolism, in particular in the case of impaired sphingolipid synthesis and/or excessive sphingolipid degradation. The agent is applied in the case of missing, reduced and/or defective formation of a sphingomyelin synthase enzyme in the body, in particular the enzyme sphingomyelin synthase 1 or the enzyme sphingomyelin synthase 2. The application has proved to be useful in the case of a defect of the sphingomyelin synthase 1 gene or of the sphingomyelin synthase 2 gene. The omega-3 and/or omega-6 fatty acid(s) preferably comprise(s) polyunsaturated omega-3 and/or omega-6 fatty acid(s), preferably EPA, DHA, DPA, ETA, 21:5n3 and/or SDA. A method for determining a cause of a disease in an animal or a human being and a device for carrying out the method are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2016Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: K.D. PHARMA BEXBACH GMBHInventors: Tobias Hartmann, Marcus Otto Walter Grimm, Thomas Floss, Anke Wittmann
