  • Patent number: 11984550
    Abstract: A device for manufacturing a cell stack having a plurality of cell assemblies. The device comprises several positioning units accommodating the plurality of cell assemblies. The positioning units each comprise a positioning jaw enclosing the plurality of cell assemblies disposed one above the other. The device further comprises a first moving unit moving the positioning unit. The first moving unit comprises a moving plate mounted in a movable manner and an actuator. The positioning units are disposed on the moving plate. The actuator moves the moving plate. The positioning units are arranged such that the individual cell assemblies are centered between the positioning jaws by the movement initiated by the first moving unit. Finally, the device comprises a support, which is decoupled from the movement of the first moving unit, wherein the plurality of cell assemblies and/or plies rest on the support.

  • Publication number: 20180148845
    Abstract: A metal component which has a face which during use is thermally or mechanically more highly loaded than the environment thereof and which is at least partially covered with a glaze or enamel layer and a method for the production thereof. The metal component requires no specific limitations during the thermal processing operation and nonetheless ensures optimum protection for the surfaces which are highly loaded during use. The glaze or enamel layer contains, with respect to the enamel frit used to produce the enamel coating, from 2 to 35% by weight of an admixture of particles which consist of at least one material from glass, organic plastics materials, and synthetic oxide mixtures or melts, which each have a thermal expansion coefficient of a maximum of 50×10?7 K?1 and a melting temperature of at least 500° C.

  • Publication number: 20160348609
    Abstract: The invention provides a cast part which is cast from a casting material and into which a channel is formed which gas flows through in operation, wherein the channel is at least in sections delimited by a separately prefabricated metal insert which is cast into the cast part. In order that such a cast part can withstand the highest thermal and mechanical stresses in the area of its gas-conveying channel, the invention proposes that the insert on its inner surface assigned to the gas and on its outer surface assigned to the casting material is in each case at least in sections coated in each case with a glaze or enamel coat.

  • Publication number: 20160293364
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for driving an electromagnetic actuator, which comprises a field winding for generating a magnetic field and a movable armature, wherein, in the method, in order to move the armature from a preset starting position into a preset end position, a magnetic flux is generated in the field winding and the magnetic flux through the field winding or a flux variable correlated with the magnetic flux through the field winding is measured so as to form an actual value. The invention provides that, in order to move the armature from the starting position into the end position, the magnetic flux through the field winding is regulated, namely in such a way that the characteristic of the actual value corresponds to a fixedly preset setpoint flux curve.

  • Patent number: 8271882
    Abstract: A method provides a user with access to resources associated with a life or work event by enabling the user to perform certain operations, including specifying a list of one or more tasks corresponding to the event, specifying one or more resources associated with each task, indicating a task order (including an indication of whether two or more tasks in the task list are to be performed in an order-dependent or in an order-independent manner), and formatting the task list into a presentation format. A system with user interface controls enables a user to perform certain operations, including designating an event, generating a list of tasks associated with the event, and specifying an order for performance of the tasks in the task list that may be followed in processing an instance of the event.

  • Patent number: 7657566
    Abstract: A hanging protocol simulator system and method permit the design and storage of hanging protocol without requiring the actual hardware utilized in the design. The creation and/or modification of hanging protocols can be made either: a) automatically, by sending images to the simulator and receiving the configuration based on these images, or b) manually, in which case the user utilizes a hanging protocol editor to define the preferred screen layout. The user can define a preferred screen layout and then test it, without need of available real hardware, and can check the performance of the configuration long before investing in the ultimately required hardware. A database is provided for storing hanging protocols which can be accessed, and/or user-provided input can further be provided to define or refine hanging protocols.

  • Patent number: 7340679
    Abstract: A system with user interface controls, a build component, a runtime component, and a workflow engine enables a user to specify an event definition, create an event instance based on the event definition, and process the event instance. The event definition may include a list of tasks corresponding to a life or work event, a specification of resources associated with each task, and a task order. The user may deselect optional tasks, specify participants who are to collaborate in the event, and otherwise personalize the event instance. The user processes the event instance by selecting tasks in accordance with the task order. The system provides access to the resources associated with each task, and allows the user to mark tasks as completed, and to store and monitor the progress of the event instance. Multiple event instances that are created from the same event definition can be processed independently.
