  • Patent number: 11764539
    Abstract: A transmitting device, containing an emitting device (1) and a scanning mirror (2), which is deflectable about its center (MP) and is arranged in a housing (3) with a transparent cover element (4). The cover element (4) is formed, at least in a coupling-out region (4.2), by a section of a monocentric hemispherical shell (HK) with a center of curvature (K) and is arranged to cover the scanning mirror (2) in such a way that the center of curvature (K) of the hemispherical shell (HK) and the center (MP) of the scanning mirror (2) coincide.

  • Publication number: 20230161228
    Abstract: A camera shutter device having a shutter blade which moves abruptly between a first position, in which it covers a transmission zone present between the carriers, and a second position, in which it opens up the transmission zone. On the shutter blade, there is provided a slide body which includes a displaceable permanent magnet and which is guided on a linear guide, the ends of which are assigned a respective rotatable permanent magnet. By oppositely changing the polarization direction of the rotatable permanent magnets through 180°, the displaceable permanent magnet is pulled into the first or second position.

  • Patent number: 11522335
    Abstract: A transmitting device, preferably containing at least two laser diodes and a scanning mirror, which is deflectable about its center (MP) and is arranged in a housing with a transparent cover element. The cover element is formed, at least in a coupling-out region, by a section of a monocentric hemispherical shell (HK) with a center of curvature (K) and is arranged to cover the scanning mirror in such a way that the center of curvature (K) of the hemispherical shell (HK) and the center (MP) of the scanning mirror coincide, and is formed in a coupling-in region by an optical block, comprising a toroidal entrance surface, in the special form of a cylindrical surface, at least one toroidal exit surface and at least two first mirror surfaces arranged between them, for deflecting and pre-collimating the laser beams.

  • Patent number: 11378785
    Abstract: A monocentric reception arrangement comprising an optical system (1), in the spherical focal plane (BF) of which the imaged overall image of an object field is subdivided into partial images by field lenses (3.1) of a field lens array (3) arranged here and the partial beams in each case involved in a partial image are collimated by way of a downstream collimator lens (6.1) in each case onto in each case one receiver (5.1) of an optoelectronic receiver array (5). An aperture stop is arranged in a plane of each receiver surface of one of the receivers (5.1), the image of said aperture stop being the entrance pupil, in the center of which lies the common center of curvature (MP) of the spherical entrance surface (2) and the curvature of the field lens array (3). Each partial beam illuminates one of the receiver surfaces with the same beam diameter.

  • Patent number: 7752967
    Abstract: An arrangement for synchronizing printing presses and additional components, in which arrangement a printing press and/or an additional component form/forms a unit and are/is connected to further units, and the drives of the connected units are synchronized, the units having either AC drives and/or DC drives and being synchronized internally via synchronism regulators in the case of an AC drive and via at least one drive shaft in the case of a DC drive. For the synchronization of the units which are to be connected, at least one additional synchronism regulator is attached to at least one unit, all synchronism regulators of all units being connected to one another and being adapted to a setpoint value of the connected units.
