Publication number: 20190125067Abstract: A personal hygiene device has a handle, a treatment head, and a motor carrier disposed in the handle. The motor is pivot-mounted against at least one spring element arranged between the handle and the motor carrier. The motor has a stator portion fixedly mounted at the motor carrier and an armature portion spring mounted at the motor carrier to allow a motion relative to the motor carrier. The armature portion is coupled with a drive shaft connected with the treatment head for transferring motion thereto, wherein an external treatment force acting on the brush head leads to pivoting of the motor carrier relative to the handle. The motor has a motor permanent magnet and a coil for providing an alternating electromagnetic field interacting therewith to excite an oscillating motion of the drive shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2018Publication date: May 2, 2019Inventors: Norbert SCHAEFER, Martin HAAS, Andreas KRAMP, Robert SCHÄFER

Publication number: 20180253473Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for using declarative rules for optimized access to data. One example method includes receiving a structured query language (SQL) query, the SQL query associated with at least one database table and at least one predicate. A determination is made as to whether the SQL query is associated with at least one declarative rule based on the at least one database table and the at least one predicate. In response to determining that the SQL query is associated with at least one declarative rule, the at least one associated declarative rule is applied, during optimization of the SQL query. The at least one declarative rule defines a transformation to the SQL query to be performed during query optimization. An updated SQL query is generated based on the applied at least one associated declarative rule and the updated SQL query is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2017Publication date: September 6, 2018Inventors: Torsten Ziegler, Christian Hansen, Frank-Martin Haas, Stefan Baeuerle, Mihnea Andrei, Alexander Boehm

Patent number: 9788465Abstract: An actuator apparatus is described as having a stator device, a cover device, a contact device and an attenuation device. The stator device and the cover device are joined in such a manner so that a hollow space is formed between the stator device and the cover device. The cover device has an opening, through which the contact device is guided into the hollow space, so that the contact device runs at least partially in the hollow space and at least partially in the cover device. The attenuation device is positioned in the opening in such a manner so that a high-frequency electromagnetic radiation that travels through the opening is more highly attenuated by the attenuation device than the radiation would be attenuated without the presence of the attenuation device.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2011Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Martin Haas, Jochen Huebl, Roland Mager

Publication number: 20170235853Abstract: Method, system, and computer program product for simulating the layout and flow of a manufacturing facility. An initial facility layout concept and a baseline input data set are received which define placement and movement of virtual objects within a virtual facility model. At least one of several analyses is performed based on the initial facility layout concept and the baseline input data set. An event flow analysis that outputs timing for movement of the objects from the initial positions may be performed. A geometric flow analysis that outputs interactions between the objects resulting from the movements from the initial positions may be performed. An ergonomic analysis that outputs human postures and motions resulting from interactions with objects may be performed. A simulated flow model for the manufacturing facility is generated. A three-dimensional virtual environment of the simulated flow model is generated and output for display.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2016Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: Adam L.
