  • Publication number: 20240060341
    Abstract: A pivot sliding door guiding device includes a longitudinal profile with a guiding track and slider, supported on support rollers in a linearly movable manner in the guiding track, and which is connected to a door leaf and transfers a bearing load onto the slider. In the guiding track, convex bearing members extending in the longitudinal direction are disposed, on which support rollers of the slider with, in each case, peripherally extending concave guiding grooves roll and are retained in the transverse direction. The door leaf is connected to the slider whereby a center of gravity acts off-center on the slider in running and transverse directions. The slider has support rollers which serve for the load transfer of the load acting from the door leaf on the slider. The rollers roll on upper and lower convex bearing members, and transfer load of the door leaf via the convex bearing members.

  • Publication number: 20230287722
    Abstract: A door system for a vehicle, such as a rail vehicle, includes a door leaf movable from a closed state to an open state and vice versa. The door system includes a longitudinal beam extending along a longitudinal vehicle axis (X) and having a longitudinal guide in which the door leaf is movably guided; a transverse beam arranged firmly on the vehicle, which extends along a transverse vehicle axis (Y) substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal beam, wherein the longitudinal beam is movably guided via a guiding device in a transverse guide of the transverse beam; and a locking device configured for blocking a relative displacement between the longitudinal and transverse beams in a locking position and for enabling a displacement of the longitudinal beam relative to the transverse beam in an open position. A door system of this type is more cost-effective and meets higher security standards during locking.

  • Patent number: 10557650
    Abstract: The disclosed apparatus cools a drinking liquid utilizing the Peltier effect, and optionally includes a system of gasification for gasifying the drinking liquid, once cooled. The cooling system in turn includes: a first cooling circuit, in which an operating fluid circulates, associated with a hot side of a Peltier cell; and a second cooling circuit, in which the drinking liquid circulates, associated with a cold side of the Peltier cell. The Peltier cell is integrated in a cooling unit exhibiting a special sandwich structure which integrates, as well as the Peltier cell, a first and a second heat exchanger, apt respectively to exchange directly the heat between the operating fluid which circulates in the first cooling circuit and the hot side of the Peltier cell and between the drinking liquid which circulates in the second cooling circuit and the cold side of the Peltier cell to cool the drinking liquid.

  • Patent number: 10417141
    Abstract: A data processing system for managing at least first and second memories includes a caching manager and a translation lookaside buffer (TLB). The caching manager comprises hardware configured to transfer data between the memories and is configured to monitor accesses to the first memory by a processing device and transfer data in a frequently accessed region at a first address in the first memory to a region at a second address in the second memory. When the data has not been transferred to the second memory, the TLB stores a virtual address and a corresponding address in the first memory. However, when the data has been transferred to the second memory, the TLB stores the virtual address and a corresponding address in the second memory. A mapping between the addresses in the first and second memories may be stored in a shadow-address table.

  • Patent number: 9471480
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus has a memory rename table for storing memory rename entries each identifying a mapping between a memory address of a location in memory and a mapped register of a plurality of registers. The mapped register is identified by a register number. In response to a store instruction, the store target memory address of the store instruction is mapped to a store destination register and so the data value is stored to the store destination register instead of memory. A memory rename entry is provided in the table to identify the mapping between the store target memory address and store destination target register. In response to a load instruction, if there is a hit in the memory rename table for the load target memory address then the loaded value can be read from the mapped register instead of memory.

  • Patent number: 9085921
    Abstract: The invention relates to an unlatching device (20) for public transportation vehicles, comprising a deflection rocker (4) connected to a first rotatable shaft (6), said deflection rock being connected by means of a connecting element (5), to an unlocking element of a lock and being provided with a projecting driving pin (11), and further comprising an actuating lever (8), which is mounted on the first shaft (6) and rotatable about the first shaft (6), and a cam wheel (1) connected to a second rotatable shaft (7), said cam wheel meshing with the deflection rocker (4). A rotation of the cam wheel (1) causes a pivoting of the deflection rocker (4), and thus a movement of the connecting element (5) and unlocking of the lock. Rotating the actuating lever (8) causes the actuating lever (8) to come in contact with the driving pin (11), and to catch said driving pin and during further rotation also the deflection rocker (4), whereby the connecting element (5) is moved and the lock unlocked.
