  • Patent number: 6555227
    Abstract: Combination compounds from curing agents/accelerators and flame-protection agents for the latent curing/acceleration of epoxide resin systems and their endowment with flame-retarding properties, the epoxide resin systems being able to be thermally cured, as well as the products prepared from the epoxide resin systems.

  • Patent number: 6316947
    Abstract: A displacement/angular position sensor including a potentiometer path (20), which is arranged on a carrier (10) and to which an alternating voltage can be applied, a collector path (30) arranged on the carrier (10), a first probe (70) guided for displacement above the potentiometer path (20), and a second probe (80) electrically coupled with the latter and guided for displacement above the collector path. Screening surfaces (11, 12, 13, 14), connected to frame potential, are provided that surround the potentiometer path (20) and the collector path (30) and the probes guided above them so that both the potentiometer path (20) with the first probe (70) associated to it and the collector path (30) with the second probe (80) associated to it are each arranged in a spatially separate, screened space (22,32).

  • Patent number: 6163974
    Abstract: A position sensor having a housing which defines a carriage guide, a carriage movably arranged in the guide, and a measurement probe arranged on the carriage for transmitting a measurement signal as a function of a position of the carriage. The measurement probe includes a measurement probe carrier separated from the carriage and the carriage guide and movably arranged in the housing. The measurement probe carrier is also connected to the carriage and the carriage guide so that a force can only be transmitted to the measurement probe carrier parallel to a movement direction.

  • Patent number: 6133743
    Abstract: For determining the respective geometrical position, the displacement or angle of a body by capacitive sensing, a supply voltage applied to a voltage-distribution element is switched, and/or phase-shifted voltages are applied, in such a way that at least two different distribution patterns of the supply voltage, that follow each other in time, are obtained across the voltage divider.

  • Patent number: 5272985
    Abstract: In apparatuses of the generic type, single point modules are provided which can transfer only the transport wagons arriving from one point branch optionally into one of the two other point branches. It is achieved by the development of the point modules according to the invention as T-shaped double point modules (40) that each point branch (42, 44, 46) can be connected optionally to one of the other two point branches, which results in a construction of a network transport path system of a simpler construction which requires less space and provides a better overview. For narrowing the spacing of parallel transport path routes (76, 80), point modules (72) are proposed whose branch angle is less than 90.degree., preferably 45.degree.. Apparatus with flexible transport path and assembly systems in industrial production plants are a preferred application sector.

  • Patent number: 5261329
    Abstract: A device for transporting workpieces comprises a transporting path carrier, a plurality of transporting wagons adapted to run on the transporting path carrier, units at every transporting wagon for blocking its traveling when the transporting wagon is located outside a predetermined transporting path, inquiring unit adapted to inquire the transporting path and control the blocking units, and at least one wall surface provided in the transporting path so as to be inquired by the sensor, the at least one wall surface being arranged next to the running surface and at an angle relative to the running surface on the transporting path carrier.

  • Patent number: 5211115
    Abstract: A transporting device has at least one autonomous workpiece carrier provided with an electric device and a drive control, and a path system provided with a plurality of stations. The workpiece carrier is provided with a unit for determining the operational parameter of the workpiece carrier and reacting to the deviation of the operational parameter from a predetermined value.
