Patent number: 10697250Abstract: A multi-functional connector is arranged for connecting a functional drill element to a drill head, such as an extendable cylinder of a drill head. The multi-functional connector includes a first connecting element having a first receptacle, a second connecting element having a second receptacle, and a retainer element having a retainer opening. The first receptacle has at least two driving surfaces for transferring a torque in a first direction, the second receptacle has at least two driving surfaces for transferring a torque in a first direction and in a second, opposite direction, and the retainer element has at least one retaining section to prevent a movement of a second functional drill element relative to the second connecting element in a retracting position of the second functional drill element.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2015Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: SANDVIK INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ABInventors: Thomas Galler, Robert Felber, Christoph Haberer

Publication number: 20080094240Abstract: An arrangement for monitoring first and second relatively movable parts in which an actuator is connected to one of the first and second parts. The actuator includes a transponder. A sensor is connected to the other one of the two parts and has a receiver circuit with a receiver coil. A reduction coil is arranged so that its magnetic field can reduce a magnetic field of the receiver coil in a predetermined manner. The transponder touchlessly transmits a bit-coded transponder signal to the sensor when a distance between the actuator and the sensor falls below a predetermined value, and the receiver circuit compares the transponder signal to a stored bit sample for generating a monitoring output signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2007Publication date: April 24, 2008Applicant: Sick AGInventor: Christoph HABERER

Patent number: 6999882Abstract: In a method for determining a mass airflow in an air duct using a mass airflow sensor, sensor signals at successive times, indicating the magnitude of the mass airflow, are captured and, using a characteristic curve for the mass airflow sensor, corresponding values are determined for the mass airflow. In doing so, a time series of signals is subjected to a vibration analysis, which determines a fundamental vibration and at least one prescribed harmonic vibration of the fundamental vibration, and the existence of a backflow is established if the ratio of the strength of the harmonic vibration to the strength of the fundamental vibration exceeds a prescribed threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2003Date of Patent: February 14, 2006Assignee: Siemens AktiengellschaftInventors: Werner Frie, Christoph Haberer, Harald Liederer
