Patent number: 11914335Abstract: An industrial control system may receive processing information from at least two control systems associated with at least two components within an industrial automation system. The processing information may include a processing load value for each of the at least two control systems. The industrial control system may then distribute processing loads associated with the at least two control systems when a total processing load between the at least two control systems is unbalanced.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Charles M. Rischar, William Sinner, Michael Kalan, Haithem Mansouri, Subbian Govindaraj, Juergen Weinhofer, Andrew R. Stump, Daniel S. DeYoung, Frank Kulaszewicz, Edward A. Hill, Keith Staninger, Matheus Bulho

Patent number: 11498115Abstract: To simplify a commissioning and parameter change in a 3D bending process of wires, a 3D bending device and a 3D bending method for bending a wire are provided. The wire is held by a first leg and a second leg and the legs are moved, via a first to third relative movement device, in a first to third relative movement with a first to third movement axis in order to change, in an adjustable manner independently of one another, torsion angles of the first and second legs and a distance between the central axes of the legs.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: GROB-WERKE GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Roland Hörtrich, Michael Sinner

Patent number: 6076849Abstract: A panel is inserted into a cutout in the visible boundary wall of a fascia, in particular in a motor-vehicle dashboard, which panel contains an airbag cover which is delimited with respect to the panel and is pressed open in the event of a crash by means of an inflating airbag sack. The panel is secured releasably at least in some regions along the contour of the airbag cover and, in the process, outside the airbag cover, in a manner which is invisible from the vehicle interior, by latching projections being provided which are molded integrally onto the rear side of said panel and engage into associated sockets which are not supported on the visible boundary wall of the fascia.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1997Date of Patent: June 20, 2000Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Bernhard Holzapfel, Martin Kruse, Michael Sinner, Rolf Dembowski, Rainer Zipfel

Patent number: 5941491Abstract: A holding device for drink containers to be arranged in a central console of a car in front of a gear-changing or gear-selecting lever, has a holder having a linear guide and extendable from a pushed-in basic position into an extended holding position, the holder having a receptacle for insertion of a drink container, the linear guide being formed so that it causes a swivelling movement of the holder to a side during an extending movement of the holder from the pushed-in basic position to the extended holding position.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 1997Date of Patent: August 24, 1999Assignee: Fischerwerke, Artur Fischer GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 5806916Abstract: Known cross members consisting of an alloy press-drawn section do not permit easy assembly of the passenger airbag module or other bolt-on parts after the cross members have been installed. Accordingly, the press-drawn section of the cross member is provided with at least one groove open at the top in such fashion that a rib or a bar of a bolt-on part can be added from above such that simple pivoting enables a seating surface of the cross member to cooperate with a mounting surface of the bolt-on part in the installed state. Assembly is extremely simple. The cross members are used for the instrument panels of motor vehicles.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1996Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignees: Mercedes-Benz AG, MC Micro Compact Car Aktiengesellschaft, Petri AktiengesellschaftInventors: Michael Sinner, Martin Kruse, Bernhard Holzapfel, Ulrich Schick, Stefan Reh

Patent number: 5711567Abstract: An arrangement connecting the dashboard and the center console. On both sides of the rearward face end of the dashboard, dovetail guides are provided which are formed by the detachable mounting of at least one dovetail connection element, are accessible from above and extend essentially in a downward widening manner. On the forward face end of the center console, dovetail guides are provided which are molded on both sides, are closed in the upward direction, extend in the downward direction in a widening manner and interact in a form-locking fashion with the respective assigned dovetail guide on the dashboard. As a result, an easily mountable, reliable connection of the center console and the dashboard is implemented at low expenditures.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1996Date of Patent: January 27, 1998Assignee: Mercedes-Benz AGInventors: Michael Sinner, Ulrich Nienhaus, Heinz Koukal, Juegen Koerber

Patent number: 5632507Abstract: A flexible support has one fixed end in a vehicle interior, and another end projecting freely into the passenger compartment on which an impact protector is fixed. In a flexing direction, the flexible support has spaced upper and lower belts, which are connected with each other by ribs to form hollow spaces. One belt extends along a straight line and the other belt is configured with protrusions and/or depressions between adjacent ribs in the direction toward the straight belt.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 1996Date of Patent: May 27, 1997Assignee: Mercedes-Benz AGInventors: Michael Sinner, Bernhard Holzapfel, Friedrich Reiter

Patent number: 5577770Abstract: An instrument panel with knee restraint for motor vehicles has a pair of deformation bars which can be deformed in a defined manner with respect to three zones, a load-distributing panel, and a large-surface-area impact-absorption member arranged in front of the load-distributing panel. In order to achieve an inexpensive knee restraint which does not require a redesign of the instrument panel configuration when the knee restraint is mounted on the instrument panel, the deformation bars are arranged on that side of the instrument panel remote from the vehicle interior and are supported, by one leg on the rear surface of the instrument panel and another leg on the transverse carrier fixed to the bodywork. The impact-absorption member is a shell-like carrier part positioned on that side of the instrument panel facing the vehicle interior. A cavity is defined and completely filled by an energy-absorbing insert, e.g. consisting of foam, which forms the energy-absorption element.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 1995Date of Patent: November 26, 1996Assignee: Mercedes-Benz AGInventors: Michael Sinner, Bernhard Holzapfel
