  • Pressure plate arrangement, production arrangement, device and method for producing a transition region between aerodynamic profile elements
    Patent number: 11946264
    Abstract: In order to allow or improve a laminar air flow in a transition region between aerodynamic profile elements, a pressure plate arrangement is proposed. The pressure plate arrangement comprises a pressure plate body and at least one cover strip, in particular a sealing strip. The pressure plate body has an outlet region from which free-flowing sealant can exit during pressing. The cover strip already contains cured sealant and presses the free-flowing sealant flat in order to be able to form the transition region.

  • Apparatus and method for reducing the energy consumption of a machine or system
    Patent number: 8362655
    Abstract: An apparatus for reducing the energy consumption of a machine has a deactivation device and a monitoring device. The deactivation device is embodied for providing a deactivation signal in response to a pre-defined deactivation event. The monitoring device is embodied for switching the machine to an energy-saving mode in response to the deactivation signal in accordance with a pre-defined deactivation rule.
