Publication number: 20230279306Abstract: A method for producing briquettes made of a waste material includes provisioning of at least one metal and at least one organic material. The waste material is mechanically prepared in a single or multiple stages and at least one first fraction of the waste material is separated. A briquette mixture containing the at least one first fraction is produced, wherein the at least one first fraction has a calorific value of 0 MJ/kg to 30 MJ/kg. A calorific value of the briquette mixture is adjusted by varying at least the first fraction. The briquette mixture is introduced into a briquetting device and pressed into briquettes. Briquettes with a calorific value of 5 MJ/kg to 30 MJ/kg and with a maximum copper content of 0.1 wt % to 20 wt % are produced.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2021Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicants: Bernegger GmbH, Küttner Holding GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20230193421Abstract: A method and an industrial plant for separating a waste material comprises at least one metal and at least one organic material. A separated fraction of the waste material is provisioned which is isolated from the waste material in the course of a mechanical preparation operation. The separated fraction comprises briquettes produced from the waste material, and optionally a coarse fraction of the waste material or of another waste material. A reactor is charged with the separated fraction and gas containing oxygen is introduced into the reactor and the separated fraction is combusted in an incomplete combustion process. The separated fraction is melted into a liquid slag phase and into a liquid metal-containing phase. The slag phase and/or the metal-containing phase are poured off from the reactor.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicants: Bernegger GmbH, Küttner Holding GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Kurt Bernegger, Bernhard Hanusch, Dirk Behrmann, Farzad Salehi, Thomas Breuer

Publication number: 20230184353Abstract: A coated metal pipe for use as an automotive fluid transport tube is provided comprising: a single or double walled tubing formed into a circular cross-sectional profile; at least one intermediate layer primer layer applied over said tubing: and an outer layer comprising a polyamide incorporating an immiscible additive. The immiscible additive is selected from Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) silicones, UHMW polyethylene (UHMW-PE), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and mixtures thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc.Inventors: Brian J. Cardwell, Thomas Breuer

Patent number: 9600941Abstract: An image, which can be analyzed by a computer and shows at least one face of an item, is generated for an item that is to be transported at a predefined time. By automatic analysis of the image, the arrangement determines, for at least one of a plurality of predetermined optically detectable features, the value of the feature for the image of the item. The identification feature value vector generated is automatically compared with stored registration feature value vectors. A record for a particular item contains six registration feature value vectors and each of the six registration feature value vectors specifies a value for each predefined optically detectable feature for each one of six faces of the item. When the identification feature value vector matches a stored registration feature value vector with sufficient accuracy, a message is generated.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2013Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignees: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Deutsche Post AGInventors: Gisbert Berger, Thomas Breuer, Bernd Hartmann, Andreas Marschner, Thomas Schoellhorn, Michael Zettler

Patent number: 6205247Abstract: A method and an arrangement are presented for pattern recognition on the basis of statistics. According to the method, for an object to be recognized on the basis of a complete set of two-class or multiclass classifiers, the association with each target class of the class set is estimated with a numerical value that is produced by cascaded use of polynomial classifiers. According to the invention, on a learning sample in which all class patterns to be recognized are sufficiently represented, there is a selection, from all the two-class or multiclass classifiers by way of their estimation vector spectrum, of those two-class or multiclass classifiers with estimations contributing the most to minimize a scalar quantity calculated over the estimation vector spectrum and having high separating relevance. The selected two-class or multiclass classifiers are subsequently used to form, via an expanded learning sample, estimation vectors from which expanded characteristic vectors are produced by polynomial linking.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1998Date of Patent: March 20, 2001Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Thomas Breuer, Wilfried Hanisch, Jürgen Franke
