Publication number: 20200300999Abstract: An angular sensor includes a base body in which a rotating element is mounted for rotation about an axis of rotation. At least one transmitting antennae is arranged on the base body and each emits a transmission signal. A reflector element extends over part of the periphery, observed tangentially in relation to the axis of rotation, reflects each transmission signal, and is arranged on the rotating element, at a radial reflector distance from the axis of rotation. A plurality of receiving antennae are arranged on the base body, the receiving antennae receiving the reflected signals as a receiving signal and supplying the receiving signal to an evaluation device. The evaluation device determines the position of rotation of the rotating element by evaluating only the receiving signals or by evaluating the receiving signals and base signals determined on the basis of the transmission signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2018Publication date: September 24, 2020Applicant: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: MARTIN MEYER, JÜRGEN ZETTNER

Patent number: 10668536Abstract: First subareas of a layer of powder applied on a substrate are heated locally with a process beam so as to heated, but not yet interconnect the grains of the powder in the first subareas. A temperature profile of the applied layer is evaluated proximate to the first subarea as a function of the distance from the respective first subarea and/or the time. The local thermal conductivity and/or local diffusivity are determined for the respective first subarea based on the temperature profile. Second subareas of the applied layer which at least partially overlap the first subareas are then heated locally with the process beam so as to interconnect the grains of the powder in the second subareas. A process variable of the process beam influencing heating of the second subareas is determined based on the local thermal conductivity or diffusivity previously determined for the at least partially overlapping first subarea.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2018Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventor: Jürgen Zettner

Publication number: 20190331542Abstract: In a method for determining loading of a bearing supporting a rotor of an electrical machine, the rotational speed and angular acceleration of the rotor is determined, matrix elements of a matrix are assigned to respective ranges of the angular acceleration and to respective ranges of the rotational speed, when the electrical machine is operated in a respective range of the angular acceleration and the rotational speed corresponding to the respective matrix element for a predefined time unit, an elementary variable, for example a value of 1, is added to the respective matrix element, and the loading of the bearing is determined as a weighted sum of the matrix elements. Thus, the matrix forms a representation of the operating time of the bearing and of the service life over time in relation to the rotational speeds and angular accelerations. The loading can be shown on a display.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2019Publication date: October 31, 2019Applicant: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Ulf Bormann, HANS-HENNING KLOS, JÜRGEN SCHIMMER, JÜRGEN ZETTNER, DIRK SCHEIBNER

Publication number: 20190301908Abstract: A thermoresistive gas sensor, e.g. for a flow sensor or a thermal conductivity detector, has a lattice with lattice webs, which consist of a semiconductor material arranged in the plane of the lattice in parallel next to one another, wherein the semiconductor material is formed on a plate-shaped semiconductor substrate that extends over a window-like cutout in the semiconductor substrate and forms the lattice, where the semiconductor layer is doped outside the cutout in areas of two ends of the lattice at least over the width of the lattice until it degenerates and/or bears metallizations, where the semiconductor layer further contains a separation structure insulating the two ends of the lattice from one another, in which the semiconductor material is removed or is not doped, and where the lattice webs extend in an S shape and are connected electrically in parallel to achieve a high measurement sensitivity and mechanical stability.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2019Publication date: October 3, 2019Inventors: Sebastian Kisban, Stefan KLEHR, Thomas NEUHAUSER, Piotr STRAUCH, Jörg ZAPF, Jürgen ZETTNER, Stefan VON DOSKY

Patent number: 9696381Abstract: In a method for testing a bar winding of a rotor of a rotating electrical machine, a rotor temperature is detected by a thermal radiation sensor, which is arranged in a stator of the rotating electrical machine. A thermal radiation sensor is used with a resolution suitable for the thermal detection of individual bars of the bar winding. The rotor is rotated at a speed that is lower than a limit frequency of the thermal radiation sensor divided by the number of bars of the bar winding, and the thermal radiation of the rotor is detected by the thermal radiation sensor. The thermal radiation sensor is sampled at a sampling frequency that is higher than the speed of the rotor multiplied by the number of bars and the sampled values of the thermal radiation sensor are evaluated.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2014Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jürgen Zettner, Christian Deeg, Thomas Schuhmann

Publication number: 20120298870Abstract: In a method for automated, contactless and non-destructive testing of a material joint (4), a dynamic threshold value is varied between a minimum threshold value and a maximum threshold value, with regions of a heat flow dynamics through the material joint (4) being determined which represent values of the heat flow dynamics exceeding the dynamic threshold value. The regions of the heat flow dynamics are examined with respect to an abrupt change in perimeter. An Abrupt change in perimeter occurs if a boundary (7) between a molten zone (5) and a non-molten but still adhering zone (6) of the material joint (4) is being crossed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2012Publication date: November 29, 2012Inventors: Roman LOUBAN, Jürgen ZETTNER, Christoph DÖTTINGER
