  • Patent number: 9860773
    Abstract: A thermal finite-state-automaton includes system states and transitions between the system states. The system states may be based on a combination of network parameters for communicating through the wireless communication system and UE processing parameters. A default state is for operation of the UE at a sustainable performance configuration level for the network parameters and the UE processing parameters to maintain a UE temperature below a first temperature threshold. A high state is for operation of the UE during up to a maximum time duration at a peak performance configuration level for the network parameters and the UE processing parameters. A recovery state is for operation of the UE during at least a minimum time duration at a reduced performance configuration level for the network parameters and the UE processing parameters. An emergency shutdown state is triggerable by the UE temperature exceeding a second temperature threshold.

  • Publication number: 20170144858
    Abstract: The disclosed herein relates to automatically updating a first controller application in a component of an automated passenger conveying device. To perform this automatic update, the automated passenger conveying device is disabled from providing service; a switchover is performed from the first controller application to a second controller application; and a post-switchover inspection is performed of the second controller application, where the post-switchover inspection determines whether the automated passenger conveying device works properly while the second controller application is active. The automated passenger conveying device is enabled to provide the service when the post-switchover inspection of the second controller application determines that the automated passenger conveying device works properly.

  • Patent number: 8770350
    Abstract: An access control system for a people conveyor control system, includes an authentication proving device adapted to communicate with a people conveyor control system. The authentication proving device has a central processor unit and a read protected memory protected from read and write access by external applications. The authentication proving device stores in its read protected memory program code to carry out a verification procedure in response to a verification request from the people conveyor control system, and sends a verification signal to the people conveyor control system. The people conveyor control system in response to the verification signal selectively allows or denies access to at least one of specific sections of said people conveyor control system or specific functions implemented in the people conveyor control system.

  • Publication number: 20090136745
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a device (1) for displaying the effect of the environment (2) on environmentally dependent materials, especially mixtures (4) with invariably visual properties according to the time and the environment (2). The invention illustrates how the mixtures (4) or the materials thereof are treated with different constituent concentrations (C) at different points on a matrix (5). The material produced enables a time-controlled simple display for controlling the usability of a product in accordance with requirements. The inventive device (1) enables visually perceptible characteristics of the mixture (4) to be modified by outside influences according to the time.

  • Patent number: 6363083
    Abstract: The 29 bit identifier field of a standard CAN protocol message format is subdivided into a message function portion, a class one node identifier portion, to identify class one nodes which must be able to communicate with each other as well as with a large number of other nodes in the system, and a selectable node identifier portion, the vast majority of which is utilized for class two node identifiers, to identify class two nodes which never need to communicate with each other, but only need to communicate with class one nodes, and a small portion of which is utilized for class one node identifiers for cases where two class one nodes are communicating with each other. The least significant eight bits of the selectable portion represent class one identifiers when the most significant eight bits of the selectable portion are all zeros, but when any of the most significant eight bits of the selectable portion represents a one, then the lowest ordered eight bits are part of a class two identifier.
