A binder material activating device to activate a binder material on a fibrous substrate, the binder material activating device including a heat exposing device to expose the fibrous substrate with the binder material to heat. The heat exposing device includes a non-focused light source to provide a non-focused light beam and an optics device to be arranged in between the fibrous substrate to be exposed to heat and the light source to focus the non-focused light beam onto the fibrous substrate. Further, a preforming device includes the binder material activating device.

A device for the layer-wise additive production of a complex three-dimensional component has a measuring mechanism for continuously monitoring quality indicators during the production of the component, wherein the measuring mechanism and a bed with a material powder are surrounded, at least in regions, by a processing cell filled with a protective gas atmosphere and the material powder of an uppermost layer can be melted in a locally limited manner in a melting zone by means of at least one laser. The measuring mechanism has the at least one laser and at least one optical sensor for the priority detection of the quality indicators in the region of the melting zone, in particular by means of Raman spectroscopy. Consequently, any construction errors in the component can be recognised, evaluated and, if necessary, corrected in a resource-saving manner without delay.

An engine assembly comprising an engine and a pod surrounding the engine that is equipped, upstream according to the direction of entry of air into the engine, with a fan provided with blades, the pod having an upstream air intake. The engine assembly also comprises a display unit including at least one light ring arranged in the air intake upstream of the fan, the light ring including at least one row of light-emitting diodes and being configured to emit at least one light beam and to project it on the blades of the fan.

The invention relates to a method for light detecting and ranging (LIDAR) measurement of speeds, in which a laser beam is directed at the medium to be measured, and radiation which is subsequently emitted from the medium () is measured by a detector. In order to optimize the measurement, a spatial measurement range can be selected by activation and/or deactivation of the detector for at least one predetermined or regulated time duration of less than about 500 &#x3bc;s after emission of a laser pulse to the medium to be measured. Furthermore, a direct reception Doppler LIDAR apparatus can be used to perform the method.

The invention relates to a method for Doppler light detection and ranging (LIDAR) measurement of speeds. A laser beam is directed at the medium to be measured, and radiation which is then emitted by the medium is measured by a detector. In order to allow better control of the dynamic range of a direct reception Doppler LIDAR apparatus, a multiplicity of laser pulses can be transmitted per measurement, and a multiplicity of laser pulses can be received by the detector per measurement. A direct reception Doppler LIDAR apparatus can be suitable for carrying out the method.

A system for the laser beam deflection for optical measuring systems includes an optical element for the deflection of an incident laser beam and a driving unit for generating a rotational movement between the optical element and the incident laser beam in order to deflect the laser beam in different successive directions. The optical element includes at least two segments for the deflection of the incident laser beam by one fixed deflection angle respectively. During the rotational movement, the laser beam successively impinges on the different segments. The optical element has a disk-shaped or ring-shaped design, and the segments are wedge-shaped with inclined surfaces. In the case of a method for the laser beam deflection, a laser beam impinging in an offset manner with respect to the axis of rotation is deflected during a time period by each segment into precisely one defined direction.
