Patent number: 6329660Abstract: To derive sunlight induced fluorescence from radiance measurements, a first radiance measurement is taken inside an atmospheric absorption band, and an additional radiance measurement is taken outside of the atmospheric absorption band. Images of sunlight-induced fluorescence are obtained with the aid of a camera. Air- or spaceborne spectrometers and image points on non-fluorescent objects are used to determine the radiance conditions on the ground and the influence of the atmosphere.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 1999Date of Patent: December 11, 2001Assignee: Dutsches Zentrum fur Luft-und Ramfahrt E.V.Inventor: Stefan Walter Maier

Patent number: 4770439Abstract: An impact protection system for an occupant of a motor vehicle with a prefabricated constructional unit that is fastened at parts of the vehicle body and which includes a generator housing, a base plate, a gas cushion, a generator and a cover provided with a tearing seam, is provided with a receiving frame that is adjustably connected with a support part of a dashboard. The prefabricated constructional unit is fastened at the receiving frame. The support partg delimits a recess of the dashboard that is closed off by a recess cover. The cover, via a releasable snap-in connection and an additional fastening, interacts with the receiving frame such that when the gas cushion unfolds, the snap-in connection opens up and the cover, via a desired bending point formed by the receiving frame, is swivelled preferably upward in the direction of a windshield.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 1987Date of Patent: September 13, 1988Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c.F.

Patent number: 4663210Abstract: A paneling member for the interior of automotive vehicles, especially a dashboard, is constructed of at least two covered polyurethane foam portions which are provided with a stiffening support element embedded in the foam. The foam body portions have different weights per unit volume and compressive strengths and, accordingly, different degrees of hardness. A relatively firm foam body with an ABS or PVC sheet covering is used for the upper portion of the paneling member. A softer foam body with a covering selected from one of a variety of materials is used to form the lower portion of the paneling member.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1984Date of Patent: May 5, 1987Assignee: Dr. Ing.

Patent number: 4215613Abstract: A kerfless slitter, capable of cutting various materials without generating chips or sawdust. The slitter includes a circular blade having a plurality of teeth spaced about its outer periphery and which contains a knife-edge centered along the mid plane of the blade in regard to its thickness. In practice, the blade is rotated at a peripheral speed that is equal to the linear speed of the work acted upon whereby each tooth is advanced along a cycloidal path of travel in reference to the work. Each tooth is arranged to enter the work ahead of the cutting line established by the teeth that have previously penetrated the work so that the cut is increased in length and in depth by means of a series of short slits.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 1978Date of Patent: August 5, 1980Assignee: Eric A.
