  • Patent number: 11516029
    Abstract: Described is a process measurement device having an interface for connecting a plug-in memory, in which a processing measurement device includes a memory operating device that can switch the process measurement device into a memory access mode when the memory is connected to the process measurement device. Also described is a power supply that ensures that the energy demand required for read access or write access to the process measurement device is automatically covered after the connection of the memory by increasing the amount of electrical energy that is freely available in the process measurement device. Undesired undersupply of the process measurement device can thereby be effectively avoided.

  • Patent number: 10099707
    Abstract: A bogie (6) comprises a bogie frame (7). The bogie frame (7) is mounted on bearings (7b) via a first spring device (7a). A wheelset shaft (8) is mounted in the bearings (7b). A wheelset drive (9) concentrically surrounds the wheelset shaft (8) and acts thereupon. The wheelset drive (9) is spring-mounted on the bearings (7b) by means of a second spring device (16) exclusively associated with the wheelset drive (9). A two-level clutch (15) is arranged between the wheelset drive (9) and the wheelset shaft (8).

  • Patent number: 9783036
    Abstract: A twin-wheel drive module for driving two vehicle wheels which are disposed spaced axially from one another and rotatable around two axes of rotation aligned with one another. For driving each vehicle wheel, provision is made for a traction motor having a motor shaft disposed in parallel to the axes of rotation, a transmission having an input shaft which is connected to the motor shaft of the traction motor and an output shaft in alignment with the axes of rotation, and a second transmission. The second transmission has an input shaft, which is connected to the output shaft of the first transmission, and an output shaft which rotates around a common axis of rotation with the input shaft configured to receive the vehicle wheel.

  • Publication number: 20100299629
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for displaying a portion of a history graph selected by a user with an interactive element belonging to a computer-supported user interface with a graphic display, where the graphic data pertaining to the history graph is stored in a data storage. In accordance with the invention, a portion of the history graph which is expanded or augmented relative to the portion selected by the user is established from the graphic data, such that the portion selected by the user is surrounded by and simultaneously lies at the center of the associated expanded portion of the history graph. The graphic data of the expanded portion of the history graph is provided to the user interface, and the portion selected by the user is displayed on the graphic user interface in the form of a display section of the associated expanded portion of the history graph.

  • Patent number: 7756647
    Abstract: A fill level measurement device senses the fill level of an object within a container. A fill level measurement sensor provides a sensed fill level signal indicative of the level within the container. A signal processing device is responsive to the sensed fill level signal and includes a first removable and replaceable component that includes a first memory device. The signal processing device also includes a second removable and replaceable component that includes a second memory device containing component customer parameter data. The second removable and replaceable component transmits the component customer parameter data to the first removable and replaceable component via a data link that electrically isolates the first and second removable and replaceable components, and the first removable and replaceable component stores the received component customer parameter data into the first non-volatile memory device.

  • Publication number: 20080172417
    Abstract: An inventory management system automatic monitors and control of fill levels or pressure states. The inventory management system supports bidirectional communication between the individual field devices and a central system. The bidirectional communication takes place using a web client by way of a communications network (e.g., the Internet) so that broadband data exchange becomes possible. Administration of the measured data takes place centrally and automatically.

  • Patent number: 7110894
    Abstract: A fill level measurement device includes at least first and second removable and replaceable components that each includes a non-volatile memory device. The device senses that the first removable and replaceable component has been inserted into the fill level measurement device, and provides a sensed signal indicative thereof. In response to the sensed signal, component customer parameter data is received at the first removable and replaceable component, and the received component customer parameter data is written into the non-volatile memory device of the first removable and replaceable component.

  • Publication number: 20040015304
    Abstract: The object of the invention is to specify a fill level measurement device, in which a measurement sensor (MS) is connected to a measurement data converter (MW), which is connected to an electrical analytical device (EA), in such a way as to simplify and abbreviate maintenance and repair work. For this purpose, the measurement data converter (MW) contains a first non-volatile memory (S1), and the electronic analytical device (EA) contains a second non-volatile memory (S2). The same parameter data, which are necessary to start and operate the fill level measurement device, are redundantly stored in both memories (S1, S2). When the measurement data converter (MW) is replaced, the data stored in the second memory (S2) of the electronic analytical device (EA) are automatically read into the first memory (S1) of the newly installed measurement data converter (MW).
