The utility model for the levelling system developed for Xenoscope at UZH is now visible online under the file number DE 20 2021 101 412 U1. This mechanism allows for a precise, almost force-free horizontal fine-adjustment of high mass assemblies. I developed it during my PhD with input by my colleague Frédéric Girard. In depth searches by both the German Patent and Trade Mark Office, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property indicate its novelty.

Edit 1 October 2022: The pending Swiss patent is now also published: CH718439 A2
