Publication number: 20240155474Abstract: In one illustrative example, a controller for use in a private mobile network may determine network service requirements for an industrial device. The controller may select, from a set of network slices, a subset of network slices having network service requirement configurations that most closely support the network service requirements. Each network slice of the set may be associated with an affinity ranking value that is indicative of a service performance of the network slice for industrial device operation in a cell or a zone associated with a zone or security level value assigned to the industrial device. The controller may identify, from the subset of network slices, a selected network slice associated with a best affinity ranking value for the zone or security level value assigned to the industrial device. The controller may assign the selected network slice and associated service parameters for the communications of the industrial device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Flemming Stig Andreasen, Robert Edgar Barton, Timothy Peter Stammers

Patent number: 11529718Abstract: A method and apparatus for tightening a screw connection having a motor-operated screwdriver unit, wherein the angle of rotation and the torque are determined during the tightening to be able to stop the tightening process on reaching a desired tightening tension. An increase in the torque over the angle of rotation is determined by a determination device in a first tightening region and a change in the increase in the torque over the angle of rotation is determined in a second, following tightening region, with the screwdriver unit being stopped by a control device on reaching or exceeding of a maximum permitted change in the increase and/or of a change speed that is determined with reference to the increase that occurred in the first tightening region.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2018Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Liebherr-Components Biberach GmbHInventors: Jan Parlow, Ilaka Mupende, Peter Barton

Patent number: 11417227Abstract: A method of generating an aircraft display includes receiving data at a device. The data includes information associated with a first aircraft and one or more other aircraft in an airspace associated with the first aircraft. The method includes determining, at the device, estimated flightpaths for the first aircraft and the one or more other aircraft. The method includes generating, at the device, a detect and avoid gauge display based on a current flightpath of the first aircraft and the estimated flightpaths. The method also includes sending, from the device to a display device coupled to the device, the detect and avoid gauge for display. The detect and avoid gauge is configured to display a flightpath indicator to indicate a direction of travel of the first aircraft and is configured to display alert bands related to projected separation violations with respect to the one or more other aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Sarah Anne Mecklem, Brendan Patrick Williams, Darcy Lynn Davidson, John W.
