  • Patent number: 11970753
    Abstract: A method for producing an ultra-high-strength hot-rolled structural steel includes producing a steel alloy with a carbon content not greater than 0.2%, avoiding a diffusive transformation of the austenite by achieving a transformation delay through the addition of manganese, chromium, and boron, and casting the steel alloy. The cast steel alloy is heated and hot rolled to form a steel strip which is then immediately hardened and mechanically straightened to produce mobile dislocations, wherein the boron, manganese and chromium delay diffusive transformation from an austenite structure to achieve formation of a martensite structure during the hardening. The steel strip is then annealed at a temperature between 100 and 200° C.

  • Patent number: 11953082
    Abstract: A planetary transmission (1) with a differential (3) and at least one set of planetary gears (6) and with a common planetary carrier (9) for the differential (3) and the set of planetary gears (7) and with at least one set of planet journals (18). The planet journals (7) and first differential gears (11) of the differential (3) are seated so as to follow one another axially on in each case one planet journal (18) and, here, are axially separated from one another by way of the intermediate web (20). The intermediate web (20) which extends in radial directions runs axially between a first toothing plane (I) and a second toothing plane (II).

  • Patent number: 11936181
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying an earth fault in a resonant grounded medium voltage network that employs a REFCL compensation system. The method derives a zero-sequence real power from a phase voltage to ground on each phase and a current on each phase and aligns the zero-sequence real power in time with a magnitude of a zero-sequence voltage provided by the REFCL compensation system. The method determines when the zero-sequence real power and the zero-sequence voltage exceed predetermined thresholds. The method delays the magnitude of the zero-sequence voltage for a predetermined period of time when the zero-sequence voltage exceeds the threshold and determines that the fault is occurring when both the time aligned zero-sequence real power exceeds the threshold and the magnitude of the zero-sequence voltage exceeds the threshold for the predetermined period of time at the same time.

  • Publication number: 20220355961
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for welding a connection region of a film to a connection part having an axial direction. In the case of conventional devices, there is the risk of steep workpiece edges causing uncontrolled weak spots in the film and in the weld seam. According to the invention, the film is extended in a controlled manner such that the film has a length reserve. The film is extended in such a way that the film has a deformation cross-section that runs out such that the deformation is not visible on the final product. In this connection, the invention further relates to a use of a film, to a method for welding, to a method for producing bags, to a system for producing bags, and to a bag.
