Publication number: 20220313046Abstract: A method of controlling a robotic floor cleaning machine includes driving, by an operator, the robotic floor cleaning machine along a transport path and a cleaning path. The transport path defines a path for transport of the robotic floor cleaning machine without active cleaning and the cleaning path defines a path for a cleaning operation. The method further includes recording the transport path and the cleaning path driven by the operator; defining, in a controller of the robotic floor cleaning machine, a route comprising the recorded transport path and the recorded cleaning path, and defining the cleaning operation. The robotic floor cleaning machine executes the defined route and the cleaning operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Stephen Klopp, Stuart McDonald, Kipp Knutson, David Wood, Andrew Graham, Christian Kraft, Donald Joseph Legatt

Patent number: 11217720Abstract: A method for depositing a CdTe layer on a substrate in a vacuum chamber by means of physical gas phase deposition is provided. The substrate is heated to a coating temperature before the deposition process and then guided past a vessel in which CdTe is converted into a vapour state, a gaseous component with an increased pressure (compared to the vacuum in the vacuum chamber) flowing through at least one inlet, against the substrate surface to be coated, such that the gaseous component is adsorbed on the substrate surface to be coated before the substrate is guided past the at least one vessel.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2017Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignees: FRAUNHOFER-GESELLSCHAFT ZUR FÖRDERUNG DER ANGEWANDTEN FORSCHUNG E.V., CTF SOLAR GMBHInventors: Henry Morgner, Christoph Metzner, Daniel Hirsch, Olaf Zywitzki, Ludwig Decker, Torsten Werner, Bastian Siepchen, Bettina Späth, Krishnakumar Velappan, Christian Kraft, Christian Drost

Publication number: 20210013072Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for determining the position of a substrate within a closed chamber, wherein the substrate is moved within the chamber by a transport system comprising at least one rotating shaft. A load-converting element is provided adjacent to at least one of the rotating shafts, wherein the load-converting element detects a load acting on the at least one rotating shaft and converts it into an electrical parameter. While no substrate is present on the at least one rotating shaft, a first output signal corresponding to a first value of the electrical parameter is measured. The output signal is then monitored and a presence of the substrate on the at least one rotating shaft is detected when the output signal differs from the first output signal by at least a predetermined amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2017Publication date: January 14, 2021Applicants: China Triumph International Engineering Co., Ltd., CTF Solar GmbHInventors: Shou PENG, Michael HARR, Xinjian YIN, Ganhua FU, Christian KRAFT, Stefan RAU, Bastian SIEPCHEN

Patent number: 9800712Abstract: Controlling message handling in a mobile communication terminal. A message creation procedure is initiated followed by assigning a destination address to a message. Message content for the message is recorded and subsequent to the assignment of the destination address, a message received from an originating address is recognized. The originating address of the received message is compared with the destination address of the message being recorded. In a case where the comparison results in that the originating address is equal to the destination address the received message is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2005Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Christian Kraft, Peter Nielsen

Patent number: 9184939Abstract: A mobile telephone terminal provides a user with a selectable option to transfer a telephone call to an instant messaging session and to transfer an instant messaging session to a telephone call. A presence attribute indicator for a first party is displayed with an entry associated with the telephone number of the first party. A user has a selectable option for initiating instant messaging with the party. The mobile telephone provides a customized menu of selectable options for initiating communication. The menu is dependent upon received presence attribute information. A calendar application can store the content of an instant messaging dialog in an appointment record. When an application accesses a stored telephone number of a party the stored instant messaging address of that party is automatically accessed and when the application accesses a stored instant messaging address of a party, the stored telephone number of that party is automatically accessed.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2012Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Peter Dam Nielsen, Christian Kraft, Gregers Juul-Pedersen, Hans Jacob Jespersen
