Patent number: 11977904Abstract: In some embodiments, a robotic process automation (RPA) design application provides a user-friendly graphical user interface that unifies the design of automation activities performed on desktop computers with the design of automation activities performed on mobile computing devices such as smartphones and wearable computers. Some embodiments connect to a model device acting as a substitute for an actual automation target device (e.g., smartphone of specific make and model) and display a model GUI mirroring the output of the respective model device. Some embodiments further enable the user to design an automation workflow by directly interacting with the model GUI.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2023Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: UiPath Inc.Inventors: Christian Mayer, Gerd Weishaar, Bogdan Cucosel

Patent number: 8693636Abstract: In a method and x-ray device to determine the value of an x-ray tube voltage to generate at least one image of defined tissue to be examined, at least one provided parameter is used that establishes or describes the desired image quality; based on the dependency of the contrast of the defined tissue to be examined on the spectrum of the x-ray radiation or on the value of the tube voltage of the x-ray tube. The tube voltage is determined also based on a contrast-to-noise ratio that is constantly maintained under consideration of the aforementioned parameter such that the dose of x-ray radiation applied to the patient is optimally low upon setting the value of the tube voltage at the x-ray tube and the acquisition of at least one x-ray projection of the defined tissue.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2011Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Ute Feuerlein, Sebastian Gehrsitz, Christiane Koch, Gerd Mayer, Stefan Muehleck, Rainer Raupach

Patent number: 7168571Abstract: The invention relates to an inverting filter centrifuge comprising a filter drum (16) that is rotatably mounted in a machine frame and projects in a cantilevered manner into a housing that is connected to the machine frame, said drum radially surrounding a centrifugal chamber (14) that can be subjected to an excess or negative pressure. The centrifugal chamber (14) is sealed on one end face by a centrifugal chamber cover (25) and on the other face by a sliding base (23). The filter drum (16), the centrifugal chamber cover (25) and the sliding base (23), together with a sliding shaft (12) that is connected in a fixed manner to the latter are driven by a hollow shaft (3) that causes them to rotate in unison. The filter drum (16) and the sliding base (23) are moved in relation to one another by an axial displacement of the sliding shaft (12), said action inverting a filter cloth (22) and discharging the separated solid matter from the centrifugal chamber (14).Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2004Date of Patent: January 30, 2007Inventors: Johannes Gerteis, Gerd Mayer

Publication number: 20040108281Abstract: A new type of invertible filter centrifuge is proposed, where a more compact construction is obtained and where the solids component is discharged substantially independently of its moisture content. The new type of invertible filter centrifuge has no filter cloth and comprises a centrifuging drum mounted rotatably in a drum housing with a drum wall enclosing a stationary, dimensionally stable filtering medium, a shaft driving the drum in rotation, a cover sealingly closing the open end of the drum at the edge of the drum, a feed means for suspension to be filtered, with a filling pipe leading into the interior of the drum, and a drum base arranged in the interior of the drum, the drum base and filtering medium or wall of the drum being axially displaceable relative to each other in order to discharge the solid constituent mechanically from the drum.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2003Publication date: June 10, 2004Applicant: Heinkel AktiengesellschaftInventors: Hans Gerteis, Gerd Mayer

Patent number: 6625906Abstract: An insole suitable for adaptation of a shoe to the particular foot width of the wearer includes a support sole (2) with a lateral delimitation (3) corresponding to the actual insole outline; a dish-shaped edge (4) extending upwardly and laterally beyond the support sole delimitation (3), connected firmly to the support sole, and manufactured from a softer and more flexible material than the support sole material; a thickening (5) on the front side of the support sole (2) with a lateral delimitation (6) that is displaced in an inward direction relative to the support sole delimitation (3), forming a lasting margin recess (7) on the underside of the insole; and a sock selected from a set of socks, each sock in the set having an identical heel thickness and a front foot thickness that is graduated among each sock in the set to correspond to different foot widths.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2001Date of Patent: September 30, 2003Inventors: Helmut Mayer, Gerd Mayer, Achim Mayer

Patent number: 6159360Abstract: A solids dryer is post-connected to an invertible filter centrifuge, wherein a dehumidification and drying of the solids takes place in the invertible filter centrifuge by means of centrifugation, pressure gas compression and/or heat convection and in the solids dryer by means of heat contact and/or heat convection. The invertible filter centrifuge and the solids dryer are connected to one another to form a unit via a closure device. Sensors serve to measure the respectively prevailing degree of dehumidification and drying as well as to determine additional operating parameters. The sensors actuate a common control device which regulates the operating parameters.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 1999Date of Patent: December 12, 2000Assignee: Heinkel Industriezentrifugen GmbH & Co.Inventors: Hans Gerteis, Gerd Mayer

Patent number: 5934854Abstract: A ring fastener, with a circular configuration in the rest condition, comprising two ring ends (11, 12) spaced from each other, an essentially constant cross-section over at least 150.degree. of its circumference, and in the area of each ring end (11, 12) a recess (13, 14) opening toward its inner circumference, enables an easy installation. A special apparatus enables a particularly effective installation of the ring fastener in very confined conditions.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1997Date of Patent: August 10, 1999Assignee: Lucas Industries public limited companyInventors: Hubert Krautkremer, Gerd Mayer, Rene Straub
