  • Patent number: 10744833
    Abstract: An independent wheel suspension includes a knuckle which is supported on a spring support connected to a vehicle body. The knuckle is connected to the spring support via a knuckle pin and is arranged so as to be mounted rotatably around a longitudinal axis A of the knuckle pin. The transverse control arms are mounted at the upper end and lower end, respectively, of the knuckle pin. The spring support is connected to the knuckle pin so as to be fixed with respect to rotation relative to it so that the knuckle pin connects the spring support, the knuckle and the upper transverse control arm and lower transverse control arm together. The independent wheel suspension has a further safety component which prevents the knuckle pin from rotating in an uncontrolled manner around its longitudinal axis A.

  • Patent number: 10178788
    Abstract: In order to manufacture an input and output device industrial use as cost-effectively as possible, while also fulfilling the demanding requirements in an industrial environment, it is provided that the frame of the input and output device is assembled from a plurality of individual frame sections which are connected to one another at the corners in order to form the frame and which are firmly bonded at the adjoining connecting surfaces in order to form a fully sealed external front face of the frame and a fully sealed external peripheral surface of the frame.

  • Patent number: 9888588
    Abstract: In order to produce a frame (2) for an input and output device (1) and an input and output device (1) provided with said frame (2) for industrial applications in the most inexpensive manner possible, the invention provides that the frame (2) is composed of a plurality of individual frame parts (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) and the frame parts (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) are joined at contiguous abutment surfaces (15) of the frame parts (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) in order to form the frame (2), and that in the region of an abutment surface (15), a through recess (20) is arranged which is connected to the abutment surface (15) and connects a first end face of the frame (2) to an opposite second end face of the frame (2), the through recess (20) being filled in with a sealant (26).

  • Publication number: 20080168121
    Abstract: In order to utilize the bandwidth available in the non-safe network for sending safe data in the best possible manner, it is provided for the safe data on the transmitter side to be combined by a network protocol-dependent transmitter optimization device in a network message or divided among several network messages and transmitted via the non-safe network. On the receiver side the safe data are extracted or combined again from the network protocol-specific data packets by a network protocol-dependent receiver optimization device.

  • Patent number: 4228114
    Abstract: An elongated concrete structure, such as a bridge, is constructed by providing at a construction zone located at one end of the site of the structure a formwork arrangement which includes a bottom formwork within which the structure may be formed in discrete sections. Successive discrete sections formed in the formwork are joined together and launched in series from the construction zone toward the opposite end of the site across which the structure is to extend. As each section of the structure is launched, the bottom formwork is moved together with each section across one section length in the launching direction while the remainder of the formwork arrangement is maintained stationary at the construction zone.
