  • Patent number: 10634118
    Abstract: A method for operating a wind turbine includes determining a current temperature of a rotor blade and activating and deactivating a rotor blade heating device in dependence upon the determined current temperature. The current temperature is determined by assuming a temperature starting value and calculating a change in temperature taking into account at least one predefined characteristic variable for the temperature behavior of the rotor blade and at least one operating parameter of the wind turbine.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7991523
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of indirect tire pressure monitoring. The method includes: learning test variables (DIAG, SIDE, AXLE), which describe the rotational movements of the wheels; determining rolling circumference differences (?DIAG, ?SIDE, ?AXLE) from actually determined test variables and the learnt test variables; learning at least one torsion natural frequency fp for at least one tire from the oscillation behavior of the individual tires; determining at least one shift of the torsion natural frequency ?fp from at least one actually determined torsion natural frequency and from the at least one learnt torsion natural frequency; and combining the rolling circumference differences (?DIAG, ?SIDE, ?AXLE) with the at least one shift of the torsion natural frequency fp in a joint warning strategy for detecting and warning of tire inflation pressure loss.

  • Patent number: 7203612
    Abstract: Disclosed are different processes for the determination of the internal pressure, particularly of the minimum pressure of the tire of a motor vehicle during driving operation, through an analysis of the characteristic vibration behavior of the wheel, whereby the standardized amplitude is determined from the vibration spectrum determined and the resonance frequency is observed.

  • Patent number: 6993449
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to monitoring the loss of pressure in one or more tires by detecting the angular speed variations of one or more wheels of the vehicle over a specified wheel revolution period and analyzing the vibration of the speed various. Changes in the frequency are related to pressure loss, which is indicated to the driver, for example, by displaying the tire pressure loss information on a display.
