Patent number: 11813840Abstract: In some examples, a print control strip includes at least one control patch configured as an element for color management. The element for color management may be configured to measure a color density and/or at least one spectral value and/or an area of coverage of individual printed printing colors. The print control strip further includes at least one control patch configured as a printing mark. The printing mark is configured for aligning a substrate in a transport direction and/or in a transverse direction. Additionally, the print control strip includes at least one control patch configured as a plate recognition patch. The plate recognition patch is configured to assign at least one printing color used to a printing plate and/or to an application mechanism and/or is configured for such assignment.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: KOENIG & BAUER AGInventors: Steven Flemming, Ulrich Köhler, Christian Pilz, Carsten Reinsch, Martin Riese

Patent number: 11787426Abstract: A control system for a motor vehicle, having a first control device for controlling a first function of the motor vehicle and a second control device for controlling a second function of the motor vehicle. The first and second control devices are each in a signal transmission connection with at least one sensor and/or at least one actuator. To ensure the proper execution of functions of a motor vehicle controlled by control devices even with a faulty control device with the least possible effort, it is provided that in dependence on the receipt of an error signal from the first control device or the second control device, the respective error-free control device is configured such that the function of the motor vehicle that corresponds to the faulty control device is controlled by the error-free control device.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Hella GmbH & Co. KGaAInventors: Sergey Orlov, Carsten Kuegeler, Ulrich Koehler, Peter Grabs, Matthias Korte

Patent number: 11485131Abstract: A machine arrangement sequentially processes sheet-like substrates with multiple different processing stations each having a substrate-guiding unit and a substrate-processing unit. At least one of the processing stations has, as a substrate-processing unit, at least one non-impact printing device which prints on the substrate. The processing station with the at least one non-impact printing device has a printing cylinder. Each non-impact printing device is arranged at the circumference of the printing cylinder. The printing cylinder is triple-sized or quadruple-sized. A double-sized or a triple-sized transfer drum, or a corresponding feed cylinder, is arranged directly upstream of this printing cylinder. Alternatively, a double-sized or a triple-sized transfer drum, or a corresponding transfer cylinder, is arranged directly downstream of this printing cylinder.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2021Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: KOENIG & BAUER AGInventors: Christian Ziegenbalg, Uwe Becker, Ulrich Köhler, Frank Schumann, Carsten Reinsch, Michael Koch

Patent number: 11440545Abstract: A control system for a motor vehicle having a first control unit for controlling a first function of the motor vehicle and a second control unit for controlling a second function of the motor vehicle. In order to ensure, with the least possible additional complexity, that functions of a motor vehicle that are controlled by means of control units are properly executed even in the event of a faulty control unit, the control system has a third control unit for controlling the first function and the second function of the motor vehicle and, depending on the receipt of a fault signal of the first and/or second control unit by the third control unit, the third control unit can be configured such that the motor vehicle first and/or second function corresponding to the faulty control unit can be controlled by means of the third control unit alone.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Hella GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 11318732Abstract: A machine arrangement, for sequentially processing sheet-type substrates, includes a plurality of different processing stations, one of which includes a non-impact printing device that prints the substrates. The processing station, including the non-impact printing device, also includes a printing cylinder, on the circumference of which, the non-impact printing device that prints the substrates is arranged. On the circumferential surface of the printing cylinder, four substrates are or can be placed behind each other in the circumferential direction. Each of the substrates that are to be conveyed are retained in one of a force-locking and a form-fitting manner on the circumferential surface of the printing cylinder by at least one retaining element.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2021Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: KOENIG & BAUER AGInventors: Christian Ziegenbalg, Uwe Becker, Ulrich Köhler, Frank Schumann, Carsten Reinsch, Michael Koch
