Patent number: 10598014Abstract: The turbomachine comprises a casing (26), there being arranged in the casing an impeller (23) arranged on a driven shaft. The turbomachine has an inflow region (21) and an outflow region (22) and, in operation, is flowed through by a working medium. The working medium flows into the inflow region, along a front side (23a) formed on the impeller and subsequently out of the outflow region, there being a pressure drop at the front side between the inflow region and the outflow region. A pressure divider (9) is arranged on the rear side of the impeller, opposite the front side.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2015Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Andreas Wengert, Bernd Banzhaf, Frank Ulrich Rueckert, Nadja Eisenmenger

Patent number: 9206691Abstract: In a Laval nozzle (10) having a flow channel (12), which has a flow cross-section (14) extending in a convergent-divergent manner, according to the invention the flow channel (12) comprises mutually opposing first flow channel walls (16, 16?), which are formed by two nozzle bodies (18, 18?) spaced a fixed distance apart from one another. Two mutually opposite second flow channel walls (20, 20?), which can be moved relative toward one another or away from one another for adjusting the flow cross-section (14) of the flow channel (12), are disposed between the nozzle bodies (18, 18?).Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2010Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Heinrich Hasemann, Manfred Schmitt, Ilona Krinn, Bernd Banzhaf, Juergen Stegmaier, Patrick Glaser

Patent number: 9128480Abstract: A safety controller controls an automated installation on the basis of project data representing an individual application running. The safety controller has a plurality of controller hardware components. At least some controller hardware components have a respective project data memory. The project data memories each are designed to store project data supplied to them. The safety controller includes a connecting unit, such as a communication network, which connects the controller hardware components to one another. The safety controller also has a distribution unit for distributing at least some of the project data via the connecting unit to at least some of the project data memories.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2011Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: PILZ GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Matthias Reusch, Karsten Petzold, Michael Kling, Patrick Schips, Bernd Banzhaf, Florian Stanko, Herbert Walter, Timo Nawratil
