  • Patent number: 12005857
    Abstract: A vehicle including a number of adjustable parts each configured to be adjusted by a motor, a sensor configured to detect a first gesture performed by a first person in a first sensor area indicative of a number of operating events, and a controller configured to, responsive to receiving the first gesture from the sensor, provide the first person a first operating event option and a second operating event option to select either a first operating event or a second operating event, and responsive to receiving a second gesture indicative of a selection of the first operating event, command a first motor to adjust a first adjustable part of the number of adjustable parts.

  • Patent number: 8168960
    Abstract: A probe (1) for electron microscopy is cut from a solid material. A sample surface (3) is configured on the same, which is treated with an ion beam (J) at a predetermined angle of incidence such that the material is ablated from the sample surface (3) by means of etching until the desired observation surface (20) is exposed on the sample (1) in the region of the incidence zone (4) of the ion beam (J), which enables the viewing (12) of the desired region of the sample (1) using an electron microscope. For this purpose, at least two stationary ion beams (J1, J2) are guided onto the sample surface (3) at a predetermined angle (?) in alignment with each other such that the ion beams (J1, J2) at least come in contact with each other on the sample surface (3), or cross each other, and form an incidence zone (4) in that location, and that both the sample (1) and the ion beams (J1, J2) are not moved, and thus are operated in a stationary manner.
