  • Patent number: 8523034
    Abstract: In a device for supplying a printing substrate web to an internal transport path of the printing substrate web of a printing device, a device accepts the printing substrate web from the printing substrate web source. A drive unit is provided at an output of the device and draws the printing substrate web from the device. A buffer device having a buffer reservoir is provided at an output of the drive unit. The buffer reservoir has a negative pressure device that generates a negative pressure in a buffer reservoir. The negative pressure acts on the printing substrate web to pull the printing substrate web drawn by the drive unit into the buffer reservoir and thereby tensions the printing substrate web before it is supplied to the internal transport path.

  • Patent number: 8465394
    Abstract: A method of operating a transmission of a vehicle drive-train that comprises frictional shifting elements and an interlocking shifting element. In the neutral operating condition of the transmission, and in the case of an operating condition variation of the vehicle drive-train in which, when it is required to establish the force flow in the transmission, the interlocking shifting element is to be changed from a disengaged to an engaged operating condition, by increasing the transmission capacities of at least two frictional shifting elements which have to be engaged for producing the force flow, a rotational speed difference in the area of the interlocking shifting element is determined, and a drive torque of a drive machine is adjusted to a level that brings the speed difference within a predefined range at which the interlocking shifting element is approximately synchronized and can therefore be engaged.

  • Publication number: 20110307217
    Abstract: A method for analysis and assessment of measurement data of a measurement system having at least one measurement channel provides for the assessment of the measurement data at freely selectable times and over a freely selectable period on the basis of at least one of a plurality of predeterminable criteria. In order in this case to develop a central and generally applicable measurement data diagnosis, in which any desired number of measurement channels can be monitored at the same time with little effort and with good result representation, preferably with determination of the faulty channels, the raw data of the measurement channel is supplied to a fault isolation stage and then to a fault classification stage, and a measure is then determined for the quality of the measurement data of the respective measurement channel.

  • Patent number: 7590378
    Abstract: In a method or device for guiding an endless web, the endless web is guided via a first positionable roll to an additional positionable roll with a predetermined angle of wrap on each roll, shafts of the rolls lying parallel to one another in a plane and being held by a frame. The web is fed to and led away from the positionable rolls via a respective first stationary roll and a respective additional stationary roll. The frame is pivoted relative to the stationary rolls about a first axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the plane in order to modify a position of an edge of the web in a direction of the positionable roll shafts. The frame is pivoted relative to the stationary rolls about a second axis of rotation one component of which runs parallel to a movement direction of the web between the positionable rolls.

  • Publication number: 20080121593
    Abstract: The invention provides a filter system for water or wastewater, comprising at least one vessel in which there are arranged aerated filter modules (7), at least one feed space (13) being provided for the simultaneous feed of suspension (10) that is to be filtered to the filter modules (7). What is new is that there is a feed distribution space (12), through which suspension (10) that is to be filtered is introduced into the feed space (13), the feed distribution space (12) leading laterally part way around the feed space (13). As a result, less space is required below the filter modules for supplying the suspension.
