Patent number: 11250584Abstract: This specification discloses computer-based systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for estimating the pose of a device, including estimating the pose based on images captured by a set of image sensors disposed around the device's periphery. Some implementations include a system that obtains visual data representing at least one image captured by one or more image sensors of a mobile device. The at least one image show an environment of the mobile device, and the one or more image sensors are located at respective corners of the mobile device, or at other locations around its periphery. The system processes the visual data to determine a pose of the mobile device. Further, the system can determine a location of the mobile device in the environment based on the pose, and can present an indication of the location of the mobile device in the environment.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2020Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventor: Ralf Wilhelm Grosse-Kunstleve

Patent number: 4583622Abstract: An automatic adjusting device for motor vehicle brakes includes a brake lever comprising a housing portion in which an adjusting gear comprising a worm and a worm wheel is located. The housing portion is connected through a clutch having frontal teeth and a drive member, with a lever having one end portion projecting into the housing portion and connected with a stationary part of the vehicle. The end portion of the lever projecting into the housing is provided with a stop that engages a recess provided in the housing portion. The cooperation between the recess and the stop limits the stroke of the brake lever.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1984Date of Patent: April 22, 1986Assignee: Bergische Achsenfabrik Fr. Kotz & SohneInventors: Wilfried Ebbinghaus, Erwin Henze, Wilhelm Gross

Patent number: 4327642Abstract: Inserts for cutting charges utilized for the shearing or separation of steel plates, cables, bridge girders or the like. The cutting charges are provided with a hollow space in which there are adhered liners or inserts of multi-component structure so as to develope a primary detonating effect in a symmetrical plane. For military purposes the cutting charges have gabled roof-shaped or semicircular inserts, preferably of inert material or metal, such as electrolytic copper.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1980Date of Patent: May 4, 1982Assignee: Diehl GmbH & Co.Inventors: Wilhelm Grosse-Benne, Paul Beermann

Patent number: 4083307Abstract: A firing cap assembly has an interior percussion charge for producing a fire jet along a path in a predetermined direction which extends generally from one side of the assembly towards the other side thereof. The assembly is inserted into a casing having a base wall which extends across the path of the fire jet, and side walls which extend generally along the predetermined direction and which have bendable wall portions at said one side of the assembly. The casing and the assembly mounted therein are both inserted into a cavity of a firing cap carrier having bendable flange portions at said one side of the assembly. The flange portions are bent in direction generally transversely of the predetermined direction to a position in which the wall portions are located intermediate the flange portions and said one side of the assembly so as to form a corner region with said one side of the assembly.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 1977Date of Patent: April 11, 1978Assignee: Hagenuk & Co. GmbHInventors: Paul Beermann, Wilhelm Grosse-Benne

Patent number: 4059954Abstract: A timer includes a pointer settable to a predetermined position representing a desired time interval. Upon actuation of the timer, the pointer runs from the predetermined position to a zero position, the timer being automatically stopped when the pointer reaches the zero position. In order that the timer may also be used as a stop watch or program timepiece, it is also provided with a switch mechanism for selectively changing the direction of travel of the pointer so that the pointer runs away from the zero position and a manually actuable stop lever for stopping the timer.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 1976Date of Patent: November 29, 1977Assignee: Hauck GmbHInventor: Wilhelm Grosse-Plankermann

Patent number: 4038924Abstract: A firing cap is located in a housing and produces, when detonated, a fuse-igniting fire jet. A firing pin mechanism is provided for impacting and detonating the firing cap. An arrangement is provided which extends across the path of the fire jet and which includes passages through which the jet is compelled to pass to thereby control the behavior of the jet.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 1975Date of Patent: August 2, 1977Assignee: Hagenuk & Co GmbHInventors: Paul Beermann, Wilhelm Grosse-Benne, Hans Guntermann, Johann-Hugo Wirtz

Patent number: 4008666Abstract: A watertight and corrosion-resistant percussion igniter has a housing, a percussion cap in the housing and a firing pin mounted in the housing and having a free end spaced from and adapted to impact the percussion cap. A one-piece tubular holder surrounds the firing pin and has at least one transverse hole, and a retaining member is located in the hole and engages in a depression formed in the firing pin. A biasing spring biases the firing pin towards the percussion cap and makes the free end of the firing pin impact the cap when the retaining member becomes disengaged from the depression so that the firing pin can move relative to the tubular holder.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1975Date of Patent: February 22, 1977Assignee: Hagenuk & Co.
