Patent EP-1494098-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BEHRINGER KLAUS
IPC: G01D3/08
Filed: 2003-07-04
Abstract: Control unit has an analyzable potentiometer (R3) for generating a control signal and a testing arrangement for fault-testing the potentiometer. The potentiometer has at least an analyzable resistance (R1) connected in series with it. The voltage across the resistance is evaluated to access the defectiveness of the potentiometer. An independent claim is made for a method for controlling a control unit that has a fail-safe potentiometer. Accordingly, to detect a fault, the connections (1-3) of the potentiometer are short-circuited or opened. The resultant voltages (U(val), U(test)) are compared with corresponding set values.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for formatting electronic messages from a mobile
communication device. An electronic messaging system may be used that is operable to send
and receive electronic messages and to redirect electronic messages to and from a mobile
communication device that is associated with an electronic messaging account in the electronic
messaging system. Upon receiving an electronic message for redirection from the mobile
communication device, the electronic messaging system may be operable to identify a message
format for the electronic message, reformat the electronic message using the identified message
format, and redirect the reformatted message for delivery. The identified message format may be
used for both electronic messages sent from the mobile communication device and for electronic
messages sent from a desktop client associated with the electronic messaging account.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a controller for vehicle motion control. In
order to coordinate the activities of several active chassis control systems a motion
request (M_req) is first expressed by desired values (F_body_x_req, ...,
T_body_phi_req) of body forces and/or torques corresponding to the six degrees
of freedom of the vehicle. Next, the requested commands (u_1, ..., u_n) for given
actuators (A1, ... An) are calculated such that they can produce said desired values
of body forces and/or torques. In an intermediate stage the requested tire
forces (F_FL_x_req, ..., F_RR_z_req) may be calculated by the vehicle motion
controller.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a mold (10, 80) having a wall (20) with
a recess (22) defined therein and magnetic means (30), wherein an associated
insert (34) is adapted to be selectively held within the recess (22) via the
magnetic means (30), such that the insert (34) is substantially flush with the wall
(20). Using the insert (34) in both the upper and lower mold halves (12, 14)

Abstract: A method of determining the leading edge of a turbine blade or airfoil (P). The object is mounted in a desired position and backlit using a light source (S). The object and its leading edge are viewed using one or more cameras (I) which are positioned on the opposite side of the part. When illuminated, the object blocks a portion of the light from the source and the occluded portion of the light defines an outline of the object including its leading edge. An image of the object is obtained and the part is then moved to other positions at which additional images are obtained. The images are processed using a space carving algorithm to ascertain the contour of the leading edge of the object. This allows accurate measurements of the leading edge to be made for using in determining acceptability of the part.

Abstract: An image sensing device has an image cell (IC n ) with a photo-sensitive element ( Φ D), a detection node (C) and an output pin. 
     Charges accumulated during a first period of time are transferred from the photo-sensitive element ( Φ D) to the detection node (C), thereby obtaining a first voltage, and kept on the detection node (C) which is thus used as a memory. 
     Some moments later, a first value corresponding to the first voltage is generated on the output pin, charges accumulated during a second period of time are transferred from the photo-sensitive element ( Φ D) to the detection node (C), thereby obtaining a second voltage, and a second value is generated on the output pin corresponding to the second voltage. 
     The signal thus generated is also proposed.

Abstract: The brush body has a neck(1c) and head(1a), soft cleaning components(3a,3b) and conventional bristles(4) on a hard plastic support(2). The support fits closely in a recess in the body and is joined to the latter. The soft cleaning elements are located on the brush head part and connect directly with the brush body. The recess is a cut-out complementary to the support and the soft cleaning components are arranged at the edge of the head(1a) around the recess. Brush body and support are of the same material. The brush body also has one or more additional soft elastic grip enhancing components(7a) of the same material as the cleaning components. In an alternative design the support rotates on the brush body and the cleaning components, which extend into the area of the bristle field, are vibrated as the support and bristles are moved relative to the body. Supports may be permanently attached or detachable from the body. In a multi-component injection process a body is produced with a melt flow channel which then guides soft elastic material into the recess to form the soft elastic components. The latter material is then covered by a support inserted into the recess. An independent claim is made for the tooth brush manufacturing process in which: a) bristles are embedded in a support; b) a brush body is molded with one or more soft elastic cleaning components; c) the support and brush body are joined together.

Abstract: A phased array antenna that employs a switched least means squared architecture comprises plurality of receiving elements each having a respective weighting unit associated therewith, a summation unit, a processor, a plurality of sampling devise and a switching unit contains a switch arm having a contact at its free and, an ADC and a plurality of switch contacts corresponding to the ends of channels connected to the respective sampling devices. Each of a plurality of receiving elements is ampled by a respective sampling device prior to an incoming signal subjected to complex weighting by respective weighting units. Each of the signals sampled by the sampling device passes along respective channels to the switching unit. Thus, by switching between the contacts it is possible to vary which of the receiving elements is sampled. The processor calculates new complex weighting coefficients to be applied to the incoming signals by the weighting units using the sampled incoming signals in order to minimize a difference between an output from the summation unit y and a training signal d.

Abstract: The invention discloses a WDM layer-based optical channel
protecting device and the method thereof. The M protection
channels are added in the sending module and receiving module,
so as to interconnect the sending side and receiving side of the
M protection channels. A switching operating device is added
which, according to the switching request from the WDM system,
switches the signal either from the specific working channel to
the specific protection channel, or gets the signal in the
specified protection channel back to the specified working
channel, wherein M and N are natural number and M<N. Compared
with the 1+1 and 1:1 protection schemes, as the number M of the
protection channels is less than the number N of the working
channels, the present invention saves the optical wavelength
resource and initial cost. Meanwhile, compared with the 1+1 and
1:1 protection schemes, in the case of M>1, when an
aforementioned fault occurring, the invention reduces the danger
of the crashing of the backup performance greatly while not
increasing the cost.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tragstruktur für Fahrzeuge mit einem aus mindestens zwei miteinander verbundenen Hohlprofilen (10, 11) bestehenden Längsträger (1). Dabei ist eines der Hohlprofile in Richtung des Stossfängers (5) fortgeführt. Im Falle eines Crashs mit geringer Aufprallgeschwindigkeit kommt es zu einer gezielten Verformung des einfach geführten Hohlprofils (10c), welches eine kostengünstige Reparatur ermöglicht. Im Falle höherer Aufprallgeschwindigkeiten kommt die steifere Tragstruktur des doppelten Hohlprofils zum Schutz der Fahrzeuginsassen zum Tragen. Da bei dieser Konstruktion der üblicherweise zwischen Längsträger und Stossfänger angeordnete Pralltopf entfallen kann, ergibt sich zudem eine Reduktion der benötigten Teile und damit des Gesamtgewichts.
