  • Publication number: 20230177105
    Abstract: A method for determining the measurement uncertainty of a measuring system that detects a physical measurement variable includes a plurality of transmission links forming a measuring chain for detecting a physical measurement quantity. Directly adjacent transmission links are in a cause-and-effect relationship in the measuring chain. The method includes using a computer program to read in information for identifying the transmission links; reading in legible labels of influencing variables of the transmission links identified by the computer program product; determining a relevance of the influencing variables of the identified transmission links for the computer program's measurement uncertainty; and using influencing variables determined as being relevant for calculating the computer program's measurement uncertainty.

  • Patent number: 11178044
    Abstract: A communication system includes data generation units that generate data and a plurality of data evaluation units physically separated from the data generation units and connected to the data generation units via a non-proprietary network. The data evaluation units evaluate data transmitted by the communication system, which includes a hardware abstraction layer that represents a data evaluation unit as a resource that includes a property “data transmission type.” The property “data transmission type” is “Streaming” or “Bulk Upload” or “Streaming, Bulk Upload”. The communication system reads the property “data transmission type” and accordingly transmits the generated data to the data evaluation unit in accordance with the read property “data transmission type”.

  • Patent number: 6820405
    Abstract: The device serves to produce effect yarns on process machines through the deliberate production of short lumps in the yarn through short-duration yarn overfeed and includes a device (A) for lateral yarn deflection which comprises a motor-driveable, servo-controlled yarn guide (3) with an adjustable stroke. A movement of the yarn guide (3) in the one direction effects a slight underfeed and a movement in the other direction effects a pronounced overfeed of the yarn (F, F2). The yarn guide (3) is attached to a traverse-motion element (2), formed by a flexible member which is rigid in the stroke direction, preferably by a wire rope, a string or a belt, by which it is driven. The yarn guide (3) effects the storage of a yarn length, in the form of a loop, which corresponds to the desired overfeed. The device is used in false-twist and air texturing machines.

  • Patent number: 6505791
    Abstract: A textile machine thread traversing device includes a traversing arm and a holding device to retain the arm as it moves in a back and forth motion. A drive mechanism is connected to the holding device to rotate the holding device relative to a turning axis. A programmable control system is configured with the drive mechanism and includes a detecting device disposed to detect the angular position of the traversing arm and to control the drive mechanism as a function of the angular position.
