  • Publication number: 20250067479
    Abstract: A method for measuring heliostats including: a) providing a light source, b) aligning at least some heliostats to be measured in order to reflect light from the light source onto a predefined target point or target area in the sky or in the vicinity of the solar tower; c) moving a flying apparatus having at least one camera along a predefined flight pattern around and over the target point or target area, and simultaneously capturing images of one of the one or more heliostats to be measured by the camera at a predefined time interval; d) evaluating the images wherein a virtual target is calculated from the images by a previously determined or stored capturing position of the corresponding image; e) determining, by the focal point on the virtual target, a target vector of each of the heliostats to be measured and comparing it with a target value.

  • Patent number: 10646112
    Abstract: An adaptive blade for a laryngoscope includes a proximal end, which is mechanically connectable or connected to a handle in order to form an adaptive laryngoscope, a first flexible bar, which extends from the proximal end of the adaptive blade to the distal end thereof, and a second flexible bar, which extends from the proximal end of the adaptive blade to the distal end thereof. At the distal end of the adaptive blade, the flexible bars are connected to each other mechanically rigidly or in an articulated manner. In the proximal direction from the distal end of the adaptive blade, the flexible bars are mechanically connected to each other in such a way that they are movable relative to each other substantially in their longitudinal directions.
