prospective Tesla owners in Germany will have to wait longer until they get their new car since the Tesla Delivery Center in Weiterstadt has been hit by thieves last week plus a broken panoramic roof in another car According to the police report, the thieves stole a total of 24 wheels (tires and rims) from six vehicles, 20 aero caps from five vehicles, and smashed the panoramic roof of another Tesla. All of them appear to be Model 3s and Model Ys that were waiting to be delivered to their owners The estimated damage is in the five-figure range and the police are now looking for witnesses See Also: Tesla Delivered A Brand New $131k Model X Plaid With Mismatched Tires The dealership is located in the Friedrich-Schaefer-Strasse and the wheel removal took place on Friday night. The incident was reported by user “S Tesla” from the ttf-forum who was searching for his own Model Y in the parking lot of the delivery center when he discovered several vehicles without rims and tires From the photos he posted on the forum we can see that the thieves placed stones under the side sills of the vehicles a practice that can cause damage to the underpinnings While the vehicles are most likely insured getting them back to a delivery-ready condition could be challenging we hope they don’t wait too long until their rescheduled delivery Image Credits: TTF-Forum user S Tesla Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker Bike Europe is a part of VMNmedia.

Eastman Kodak (Rochester, NY, USA;www.kodak.com) designed to DFT's specifications the illumination system and optical components In the scan head of its Spirit 4K/2K film scanner and (inset) three custom built 2k × 1/4k ×1 linescan CCDs “Since all color film negatives contain an orange cast,” says Anderle “using a xenon lamp to provide a white light source with a high blue light content helps to compensate for this orange component while maintaining an excellent signal-to-noise ratio.” After light is generated by the xenon source it is reflected from a cold mirror to remove any infrared component and associated heat generated by the lamp Because the scanner was designed to be used with negative the illumination wavelength required differs depending on which type of film needs to be scanned To adjust the wavelength of transmitted light from the xenon lamp a filter wheel containing up to four different filters is placed in the optical path of the illuminator The spectral characteristic and the associated peak wavelength of each filter (B ~ 450 nm R ~ 660–690 nm) are chosen to match the spectral density of the dyes of the film An additional orange filter mask is used to emulate the orange cast of the negative film during calibration of the system “Each film type exhibits different transmissive qualities and different scanning speeds require different illumination levels,” says Anderle “so it is also necessary to change illumination levels for each different film type and film speed.” a mechanical shutter with a fast aperture is placed into the optical path A condenser then focuses light from the illumination source onto the entrance of a glass rod which ensures that all wavelengths of light are homogeneously distributed with a Lambertian light distribution Light from this glass rod illuminates the film as it travels over a film gate block Then reflected light travels through a projection lens and a beamsplitter To capture individual line scans of the film, DFT developed a custom-built CCD imager in conjunction with DALSA (Waterloo, ON, Canada;www.dalsa.com) “Because the scanner was required to digitize film at the highest possible speeds in two different resolutions,” says Hasenzahl “the custom CCD imager consists of both a linear 4k × 1 CCD with 7 × 7-µm pixels abutted to a 2k × 1 CCD with 14 × 14-µm pixels The scanner can then digitize film either more than real time at 2k resolution or real fast at 4k.” When 35-mm film is digitized using the 4k × 1 CCD 3124 lines of each 35-mm frame can be captured at approximately 8 frames/s with a per-pixel resolution of 6 µm When this same 35-mm film is digitized using the 2k × 1 CCD using 1562 lines of each frame After correlated double sampling (CDS) is used to remove fixed pattern noise in the output stage of the CCD images are digitized using a custom ADC board developed by DFT To scan film in 12-µm resolution at 30 frames/s requires multiple read-out channels at each CCD “The problem with multiple channels is that the linearity of amplifiers might be slightly different a linearity calibration for each CCD channel was implemented using digital processing to avoid any differences between the channels over the total dynamic range,” says Loew digital processing system architect with DFT Digitizing 4k × 1 RGB images using 3124 lines/frame results in a file size of approximately 76 Mbytes/frame but many of DFT's customers do not require such large 16-bit RGB images images can be dynamically reformatted as 10-bit logarithmic RGB images that closely match the logarithmic density of film These images are then transferred from the Spirit 4K/2K film scanner over an InfiniBand interface via a workstation to RAID-based storage area networks (SANs) or alternatively output as SDTV or HDTV images To perform such functions as color correction the company offers special processing boards integrated into Spirit 4K/2K as well as a post-production workstation and software and generation of various output formats in conjunction with image data from the Spirit 4K/2K film scanner In der Odenwaldgemeinde Michelstadt werden Lebensmittel und andere Waren aus dem Supermarkt jetzt per Drohne geliefert An dem Pilotprojekt sind eine Frankfurter Hochschule und ein Drohnenhersteller beteiligt Klopapier oder Brot per Drohne fast bis vor die Haustür: In einem Pilotprojekt wird ab Donnerstag getestet ob Menschen in ländlichen Regionen per Drohne mit Lebensmitteln und anderen Dingen des täglichen Bedarfs beliefert werden können Die Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner von zwei entlegeneren Stadtteilen von Michelstadt (Odenwald) können ab sofort im Internet Einkäufe bei Supermärkten bestellen dass die Drohne mit der bestellten Ware auf einem festgelegten Platz am Rand der jeweiligen Ortschaft landet Von da aus werden die Bestellungen dann per Lastenrad an die einzelnen Kunden verteilt Dafür wurden Studierende als Radkuriere eingestellt Unter anderem die Frankfurter University of Applied Sciences und der Drohnenhersteller Wingcopter aus Weiterstadt wollen so testen wie gut und umweltfreundlich abgelegene ländliche Regionen auf diesem Weg versorgt werden können Denn oft ist dort für die Anwohnerinnen und Anwohner der nächste Supermarkt nicht so einfach zu erreichen Die Bewohner der beiden Michelstädter Stadtteile Rehbach und Würzberg können ab sofort über eine spezielle Internetseite die Waren bestellen Zwei Supermärkte beteiligen sich derzeit an dem Projekt andere lokale Einzelhändler könnten sich noch anschließen die nicht gekühlt werden müssen: zum Beispiel Eier Eis oder andere Tiefkühlprodukte sind dagegen nicht im Angebot Die Drohne kann laut Wingcopter-Chef Tom Plümmer bis zu 4,5 Kilogramm schwere Last tragen Dafür müssten aber noch rechtliche Fragen geklärt werden was für "Drohnen-Lastenrad-Express-Belieferung" steht und wird vom Bund mit rund 430.000 Euro gefördert Die Verantwortlichen haben zunächst für vier festgeplante Strecken eine Fluggenehmigung für 25 Monate kann es fortgesetzt und gegebenenfalls auf andere ländliche Regionen in Hessen ausgeweitet werden Quelle: hessenschau.de/Meliha Verderber; Roman Warschauer
