  • Publication number: 20240171458
    Abstract: A method for providing a network configuration for an industrial network includes discovering network topology data by a network configuration agent (NCA); receiving communication intent data from a network device; commissioning and identifying a remote network engine; forwarding the discovered network topology data and the received communication intent data to the remote network engine and requesting by the NCA the remote network engine for calculating network configuration data indicating network configurations; calculating the network configuration data on the provided network topology data and the received communication intent data; providing the calculated network configuration data to the NCA and distributing the calculated network configuration data to the network device, and initiating a network configuration in the industrial network.

  • Patent number: 10711713
    Abstract: A fuel tank venting system for a motor vehicle includes an outlet side of a tank venting valve connected to an inlet side of a first vent line and to an inlet side of a second vent line. An outlet side of the first vent line is connected to an intake manifold upstream from a throttle valve and downstream from an air filter, and an outlet side of the second vent line is connected to the intake manifold downstream from the throttle valve. A position sensor may be located at a first position and the first closing element has a detectable element. The position sensor is connected to an electronic control device to transmit signals. A position of the first closing element may be determined by means of the position sensor and the detectable element.

An outlet side of the first vent line is connected to an intake manifold upstream from a throttle valve and downstream from an air filter, and an outlet side of the second vent line is connected to the intake manifold downstream from the throttle valve. The first check valve has a first position sensor and the first closing element has a detectable element. The first position sensor is connected to an electronic control device to transmit signals. A position of the first closing element may be determined by means of the position sensor and the detectable element.

  • Patent number: 6282973
    Abstract: A selector for a vehicle transmission, includes a selector lever which is movable in two shift gates. In the first shift gate, automatic positions of the transmission can be selected using the selector lever, while gear ratios can be selected sequentially by the selector lever in the second shift gate. For that purpose, switches are provided in the second shift gate for detecting the sequential selection processes.
