  • Patent number: 10591711
    Abstract: A microscope (10) for obtaining a high dynamic range synthesized image (21) of an object (12) from a plurality of low dynamic range input images (19) comprises a controller (14), an incoherent light source (16) for illuminating the object (12) at different light intensity levels, and a recording device (18) for recording the plurality of low dynamic range input images (19), wherein each of the low dynamic range input images (19) is recorded at a different light intensity level. The controller (14) is configured to control the recording device (18) such that during recording of the series of the low dynamic range images the recording parameters for obtaining the plurality of low dynamic range input images (19) are kept constant.

  • Publication number: 20180250886
    Abstract: A seam production machine for joining at least two planar flexible components is provided, wherein at least one of the components includes thermoplastic synthetic material. Included is a machine housing, which is designed with a work surface and a work arm, wherein a retaining bar mounted movably in the longitudinal axis including a seam production tool and a likewise mounted support bar including a component presser element are provided on the work arm, and a support plate for the components, including at least one oscillatingly drivable component feeder is disposed in the work surface, wherein the component presser element is lowerable and acted upon by a force and, when lowered, cooperates with the at least one component feeder. At least one seam pressing ram, serving as the seam production tool, is disposed at the bottom of the retaining bar, wherein a laser beam is directed at the support plate and forms a laser light spot there for plasticizing the synthetic material of at least one of the components.

  • Patent number: 8069684
    Abstract: Refrigeration circuit (2) for circulating a refrigerant in a predetermined flow direction, having in flow direction a heat rejecting heat exchanger (4), an evaporator throttle valve (8), an evaporator (10), a compressor (22), an internal heat exchanger (16) placed with its “cool side” between the evaporator (10) and the compressor (22), an inlet temperature sensor (24) located between the evaporator (10) and the internal heat exchanger (16) and an outlet temperature sensor (26) located between the internal heat exchanger (16) and the compressor (22), and a control (28) for controlling the evaporator throttle valve (8) based on the inlet and outlet temperature sensor measurement, wherein the control is adapted for controlling the evaporator throttle valve (8) based on an inlet temperature setpoint at the inlet temperature sensor (24); and shifting the inlet temperature setpoint based on the outlet temperature sensor measurement (26).

  • Publication number: 20050073729
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for evaluating an optical recording that has been registered by an image sensor (30). The image sensor (30) comprises a plurality of photosensitive elements (32, 34, 36), each of which is provided for determining the brightness value of exactly one of the colors from a predetermined set of colors, in such a way that each element (32, 34, 36) provides information about its corresponding associated color. The invention is characterized in that one of the colors is selected and during the evaluation only information from elements associated with the color is taken into consideration. In addition, the invention relates to use of the system and to a computer program product for carrying out the method.
