  • Patent number: 11931842
    Abstract: A measuring device comprising a sensor for the high frequency detection of a measurement variable, such as sound, structure-borne noise, current, voltage, optical or magnetic measurement values and the like, with an operator network comprising at least one operator. An operator network that includes a notification operator, a machine control operator and/or a difference operator. The devices can be configured to identify events in a material-processing and/or material production process on the basis of a multidimensional data stream obtained during the process and having temporally resolved frequency and energy information, and to the use of defect patterns and/or event patterns and/or energy data, the data being supplied to a pattern operator or multiple pattern operators arranged in parallel or one after the other.

  • Patent number: 10042527
    Abstract: A computer system having a graphical user interface that includes a display and a user interface selection device. The computer system includes a method of displaying and navigating calendar events. The method includes selecting an initial calendar time period for display; selecting initial time units; displaying a band looped around an axis from a point of view located on the axis wherein the band depicts the time units and the calendar events on the side facing the axis in chronological order; and using the user interface selection device to receive navigation commands moving the view point along the axis and/or rotating the band around the axis.

  • Publication number: 20150276684
    Abstract: The invention relates to devices and methods and arrays for detecting and avoiding stress cracks. One embodiment relates to a device for detecting a crack formation in a component as a result of hardening of the component under heat treatment, such as inductive hardening or flame hardening, for example, and/or resulting from straightening the component, comprising a sound sensor that can be coupled with the component to register structure-borne sound. The device is configured for the frequency-based and/or time-based evaluation of sound signals registered by the sound sensor during the hardening and/or during the straightening process.
