Patent number: 11875939Abstract: A method for controlling a part movable with a coil. In this case, a current flowing through the coil and/or a voltage applied to the coil is/are scanned in order to generate a coil signal. In a further step, at least one movement parameter representing an oscillatory movement of the part is ascertained by using the coil signal. Finally, at least one signal parameter of a dither signal is optionally changed to generate the oscillatory movement by comparing the movement parameter to the at least one setpoint value to adapt the oscillatory movement to the setpoint value.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2018Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Christof Ott, Daniel Seiler-Thull, Michael Hilsch, Tobias Mauk, Torsten Berger

Patent number: 11064690Abstract: The invention relates to a sprayer of the type comprising a turbine that generates an air current, a nozzle that channels the air current and an outlet of this current to the outside, carrying with it the product dosed by a series of nozzles arranged in the area of influence of the air current, the sprayer being special in that both the air outlet opening and the turbine can be configured and act in a coordinated manner to obtain the desired air flow for each type of crop and spray application, where the optimum air flow for each spray application and the configuration of the turbine and opening are determined by the actual sprayer by means of a processor and auxiliary means.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2016Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Pulverizadores Fede, S.L.Inventors: Federico Pérez Salvador, Lars Torsten Berger

Patent number: 10721924Abstract: The invention relates to a sprayer of the type comprising a turbine generating an air flow that is conveyed through a main duct to a distributor from where the air flow is conveyed through ports to a plurality of secondary ducts which direct the air flow to the exterior, bringing same into contact with the product mixture metered by nozzles located in the area through which the outgoing air stream flows, where the invention is characterised in that the air flow from the secondary ducts can be regulated by means of opening and closure elements that operate in a coordinated manner with at least one overflow channel, such as to help maintain a constant pressure inside the air ducts, preventing air from flowing back to the turbine, which could alter the operating conditions selected for the equipment.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2017Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Pulverizadores Fede, S.L.Inventors: Federico Pérez Salvador, Lars Torsten Berger

Patent number: 8963958Abstract: Techniques for wrapping a two-dimensional texture conformally onto a surface of a three dimensional virtual object within an arbitrarily-shaped, user-defined region. The techniques provide minimum distortion and allow interactive manipulation of the mapped texture. The techniques feature an energy minimization scheme in which distances between points on the surface of the three-dimensional virtual object serve as set lengths for springs connecting points of a planar mesh. The planar mesh is adjusted to minimize spring energy, and then used to define a patch upon which a two-dimensional texture is superimposed. Points on the surface of the virtual object are then mapped to corresponding points of the texture. A haptic/graphical user interface element that allows a user to interactively and intuitively adjust texture mapped within the arbitrary, user-defined region.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2012Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: 3D Systems, Inc.Inventors: Torsten Berger, Elaine Chen, Walter C.

Patent number: 8957550Abstract: A system including a coupler to couple a signal to a plurality of conductors of an electric network and a transmitter to select a plurality of modes to inject the signal into the plurality of conductors and to transmit the signal via the plurality of conductors. The plurality of modes is selected from a group consisting of a first mode, a second mode, and a third mode. The first mode includes injection of the signal through a selective combination of the plurality of conductors and circulation of current through ground. The second mode includes injection of the signal through a first conductor and return through a second conductor. The third mode includes injection of the signal through one or more first conductors and return through one or more second conductors. The first conductors are different than the second conductors.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2013Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Marvell Hispania, S.L.U.Inventors: Luis Manuel Torres Cantón, Salvador Iranzo Molinero, Agustin Badenes Corella, José Maria Vidal Ros, Jorge Vicente Blasco Claret, José Luis Gonzáles Moreno, Lars Torsten Berger

Patent number: 8587159Abstract: Method for increasing the performance of a communications system on a medium formed by multiple conductors which increases the performance of a communications system by means of the creation of numerous communication channels with a high degree of isolation between each other on the same physical medium formed by multiple conductors. The method can be extended to be used in various applications, such as the reuse of frequencies on the same channel, the increase of the capacity of the point-to-point links in a network and the improvement of performance and reliability when used with digital processing of signals for transmission or reception, among others.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2008Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Marvell Hispania, S.L.U.Inventors: Luis Manuel Torres Cantón, Salvador Iranzo Molinero, Agustín Badenes Corella, José María Vidal Ros, Jorge Vicente Blasco Claret, José Luis Gonzáles Moreno, Lars Torsten Berger
