Patent number: 10034333Abstract: At least one measurement value of a measurement variable characterizing the operating state of each of a plurality of system components that influence the operating conditions of an arc furnace is detected and compared to a respective currently permissible threshold value for the measurement variable. A maximum power that can be supplied to the arc furnace within a time window while satisfying all currently permissible threshold values is determined based on the result of the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2013Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: PRIMETALS TECHNOLOGIES GERMANY GMBHInventors: Ralph-Herbert Backes, Arno Döbbeler

Patent number: 9921214Abstract: The invention is based on a method for performing a biochemical analysis, especially in outer space, wherein at least one analyte in a sample is determined qualitatively and/or quantitatively by means of selective binding of an analyte-specific pair composed of a binding substance and a detection substance to the analyte and by labeling by a labeling substance, and wherein the sample, the binding substance, the detection substance and the labeling substance are mixed in a reaction vessel in one method step. It is proposed that the mixing be brought about by means of mixing bodies.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2013Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Airbus DS GmbHInventors: Peter Kern, Herbert Backes, Ulrich Kubler

Publication number: 20150167500Abstract: Two or more metallurgical sub-plants, a separate network for the distribution of electrical energy, at least one power generating plant with at least one gas turbine for the provision of electrical energy in the separate network, and a control device are included in a metallurgical plant. The sub-plants draw at least 80%, in particular at least 90%, of the electrical power required for their operation from the at least one power generating plant via the separate network. The control device controls provision of electrical power for a first sub-plant at the expense of at least one other of the two or more sub-plants. The two or more sub-plants include at least one steel works with at least one electric arc furnace and at least one sub-plant for a metallurgical process arranged upstream or downstream of the steel works.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2013Publication date: June 18, 2015Applicant: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Ralph-Herbert Backes, Arno Döbbeler, Andreas Heinemann, Thomas Matschullat

Patent number: 7560073Abstract: The comprises at least one sample receiving chamber for a sample liquid, and a distributor channel for sample liquid connected to said at least one sample receiving chamber, with at least one such distributor channel extending from each sample receiving chamber. The sample support further comprises at least one reaction chamber entered by an inflow channel branched off said at least one distributor channel, and a venting opening for each reaction chamber. Each distributor channel and each inflow channel are dimensioned to have the liquid transport through the distributor and inflow channels effected by capillary forces. In each reaction chamber, the entrance region of the inflow channel is provided with a means for generating a capillary force causing the sample liquid to flow from the inflow channel into the reaction chamber.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1999Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignees: Boehringer Ingelheim Microparts GmbH, Merlin Lilliput GmbHInventors: Ralf-Peter Peters, Nezih Ünal, Dirk Klaus Osterloh, Herbert Backes

Patent number: 5309697Abstract: A packaging machine for individual flat strip-like articles, in particular chewing gum strips (10), comprises means for cutting (110) and supplying (100), wrapping (300) and grouping (400; 500) of the individual articles. The packaging machine comprises a first fast section through which the articles pass continuously, i.e. substantially without retardations or accelerations. In this machine section the chewing gums are first cut from sheets (20) to strips (10) in a cutting device (110) and thereafter individually wrapped, a turning drum (340) possibly being employed. Subsequently, they are combined to groups in a grouping means (400; 500). In this second machine section the chewing gum groups are further conveyed intermittently in cycles with lower speed to a collective packing machine. By exchanging components in the grouping means of the fast machine section the articles can be combined to groups different in number and arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1993Date of Patent: May 10, 1994Assignee: PVT Piepenbrock Verpackungstechnik GmbHInventors: Heinz P. Hammacher, Herbert Backes

Patent number: 4135025Abstract: A fabric web intended for the production of garment inserts for reinforcing shoulder, chest or lap parts of garments the web having a reinforced region comprising a double-cloth formed by two fabrics, each having a warp thread and a weft thread system, and a reinforcing thread warp or weft system between the two fabrics, the reinforcing threads having a stronger spring force than the warp and weft threads of the two fabrics. Threads of a fabric are interlaced with threads of the other fabric and/or reinforcing threads are interlaced with fabric threads. The physical characteristics of at least one system, e.g. spring force of the reinforcing threads or thread spacing or density, vary in a direction transverse to the length of the threads of such system to provide a spring force and resilience which varies across and/or along the web from the reinforced region toward another portion of the web.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 1977Date of Patent: January 16, 1979Assignee: Kufner Textilwerke KGInventor: Herbert Backes
