Publication number: 20240178737Abstract: A planar drive system has at least one stator assembly with a plurality of coil groups for generating a stator magnetic field, a stator surface above the stator assembly, and first and second rotors. The rotors each have a plurality of magnet units for generating a rotor magnetic field. The rotors can be moved above the stator surface in first and second directions, with the aid of an interaction of the stator magnetic field with the rotor magnetic field. A connection can be formed between the rotors with the aid of a coupling device. A controller is arranged to output control signals to the stator assembly. The stator assembly is configured to energize the coil groups on the basis of the control signals so that movements of the rotors, coordinated with one another with respect to the coupling device, are carried out with the aid of the stator magnetic field.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2024Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Hans Beckhoff, Johannes Beckhoff, Jan Achterberg, Dominik Sensen, Lukas Bentfeld, Felix Schulte, Uwe Prüßmeier

Patent number: 7814045Abstract: Data can be extracted from one or more data sources. Thereafter, the extracted data can be transformed to a format compatible with a plurality of structurally identical data targets so that the transformed data can be loaded into the plurality of data targets via data transfer processes. The data transfer processes define disjoint data sets among the plurality of data targets. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2006Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Alexander Hermann, Rainer Höltke, Michael Te Uhle, Uwe Schulte

Patent number: 6425469Abstract: A device for aiding a movement a current collector trolley in and out of an elongate plastic profile of a sliding contact line accommodating current conductor rails, includes a funnel, and a sleeve embracing the elongate plastic profile in a form-fitting manner and intended to secure a rear end of the funnel to one end of the sliding contact line. The sleeve is freely movable along the elongate plastic profile before securement of the funnel and laps over the end of the elongate plastic profile when the funnel is secured in place, whereby the rear end of the funnel has a contour complementing an inner contour of the elongate plastic profile and received in form-fitting engagement in the elongate plastic profile.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2000Date of Patent: July 30, 2002Assignee: Atecs Mannesmann AGInventors: Thomas Kohlenberg, Uwe Schulte

Patent number: 6241065Abstract: A current collector trolley for traveling inside a current contact line of a type having a bottom formed longitudinally with a slot and accommodating therein current conductor rails in longitudinal direction, includes a base body extending through the slot to the outside and having sliding contacts forced into contact with the conductor rails during operative mode and electrically connected outside the current contact line to a multicore collector cable. The base body is made of plastic material and has embedded therein at least one flat electric conductor extending across the base body from top to bottom and having upper and lower ends. The upper end of the conductor is positioned in proximity of one of the sliding contacts and electrically connectable thereto, and the lower end of the conductor extends downwards to project out of the base body for electric connection with a core of the collector cable.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 1999Date of Patent: June 5, 2001Assignee: Mannesmann AGInventors: Thomas Kohlenberg, Klaus-Dieter Oemus, Michael Röhr, Uwe Schulte

Patent number: 6229089Abstract: An inlet power feed for longitudinally slotted current contact lines having conductor rails disposed in a longitudinal direction inside an elongated plastic profile, includes a cover defining an inlet feed region and electrically insulating the inlet feed region to the outside, with the cover receiving a power supply cable which terminates at a location above the elongate plastic profile. The power supply cable includes a plurality of cores for connection to a plurality of conductor rails in one-to-one correspondence. Electrically connecting the cores of the cable to the conductor rails are a plurality of flat junction bars, each of the junction bars connecting one core of the cable to one conductor rail and having a flat side which confronts an outer side wall of the elongate plastic profile and, at least partially, bears in flat engagement on the outer side wall, with the junction bar extending inside the cover from the conductor rail vertically upwards into the area above the elongate plastic profile.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 1999Date of Patent: May 8, 2001Assignee: Mannesmann AGInventors: Thomas Kohlenberg, Uwe Lichtenvort, Klaus-Dieter Oemus, Michael Röhr, Uwe Schulte

Patent number: 6176711Abstract: A connector for coupling two contact line segments positioned in end-to-end alignment and made of elongate plastic profiles for accommodating current conductor rails which cooperate with a current collector vehicle traveling inside the contact line segments, includes a coupling sleeve made of plastic material for positively enveloping the contact line segments in an area of their confronting ends, with the ends of the contact line segments being freely shiftable in a longitudinal direction within a predetermined range. The coupling sleeve is split in a direction transversely to the longitudinal direction so as to define two sleeve members which are detachably connected to one another, wherein one of the sleeve members can be placed on one of the confronting ends of the contact line segments and the other one of the sleeve members can be placed on the other one of the confronting ends of the contact line segments, before the contact line segments are joined.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 1999Date of Patent: January 23, 2001Assignee: Mannesmann AGInventors: Michael Röhr, Thomas Kohlenberg, Uwe Schulte, Klaus-Dieter Oemus

Patent number: 5236338Abstract: A support for current conductor rails at an essentially double T-shaped beam girder is welded together of two mirror-symmetrical profiles. A support, carrying the current rails, surrounds the top flange of the beam girder (1) and rests with an angled clamping face (7) at an angled holder strap (4) of the top flange. The support (6) is held by U or V-shaped clamps (12) at the holder strap (4) of the top flange. This arrangement provides for a suitable attachment possibility for current conductor rails above the bottom flange of a double T-shaped beam girder.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1991Date of Patent: August 17, 1993Assignee: Mannesmann AktiengesellschaftInventors: Heinz Pfannkuche, Uwe Schulte

Patent number: 5048196Abstract: A guided working device (1) is driven by an operable traction motor (2) for movement along a travel rail (3). The working device carries a driver (4) provided with articulated heads for a measuring carriage (5), which measuring carriage always travels the same distance as the working device (1). The measuring carriage travels on a control rail (11) and includes a measuring device (6). A plurality of sliding conductors (17) are also receivable by the control rail (11). The measuring carriage carries a preferably toothed measuring wheel about at least a circumferential portion of which a preferably toothed measuring belt is wrapped.
