Abstract: A system for performing over-the-air (OTA) update is disclosed. The system may comprise a first communication interface, an electronic control subsystem of a vehicle, and a gateway. The gateway may be coupled to the electronic control subsystem by way of the first communication interface, receive trigger event information, and detect a trigger condition based on the trigger event information. The gateway may initiate, based on the detection of the trigger condition, a handshake with the electronic control subsystem, verify a set of parameters, and validate a version of a software or a firmware of at least one component of the electronic control subsystem. Based on the verification, the gateway may provide an update file to the electronic control subsystem by way of the first communication interface. The update file is configured to update the software or the firmware for the at least one component.

Abstract: A water heating system includes a burner and a gas valve fluidly connected to the burner to deliver a flow of combustible gas thereto. The gas valve has an adjustable throttle for the flow of combustible gas, along with a motor to adjust a position of the throttle. A controller is configured to determine a throttle position corresponding to a target air-fuel ratio of the burner during a calibration sequence, and to control the motor in order to operate the burner at that target air-fuel ratio throttle position during a start sequence. The controller is configured to monitor a characteristic of the burner during the start sequence, and to initiate the calibration sequence if the monitored characteristic exceeds an error threshold.

Abstract: A circuit for battery storage management where the storage contains at least two cells (4.i) connected in at least one bank (10), at least one device (11) for controlling the bank, at least one main power supply bus (8) and at least one communication bus (9). At least one cell (4.i) is equipped with at least one cell management device (3) with measurement devices for measuring cell status indicators. Each device (11) for controlling the bank (10) contains a control unit and memory storage blocks for storing values regarding the history of each cell (4.i). The circuit contains an independent power source and an auxiliary power supply bus (7) powered from it which connects each device (11) for controlling the bank (10) to the cell management devices (3) contained in this bank (10). A method for battery storage management in this circuit is also proposed, in which the cell status indicators (4.i) are measured and in the event of a predicted failure, the cells (4.i) are recharged via the auxiliary power bus (7).

Abstract: The agricultural sprayer includes a base with two vertical guides fixed thereon and carriages mounted on and capable of traveling along said guides. A ducted fan is turnably mounted on axles between the carriages. The inner surface of the fan duct is equipped with nozzles connected to a liquid container. One of the carriages consists of two parts: the first and the second one, with the second part capable of moving relative to the first one. The first and the second parts of said carriage have a duct-swinging crank-rocker mechanism mounted thereon. Said mechanism is configured for setting the inclination angle of the fan duct and adjusting its oscillation amplitude.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for selecting and monitoring of a Venturi type steam trap in a steam system using deep neural network to process specific parameters of the steam system stored in memory of a data processing unit with the use of temperature detection only.

Abstract: A robot leg comprises at least two phalanges (1, 2) connected to each other by articulated joint (4). The robotic leg further comprises the electric motor (6A) with the shaft (61A), the cardan mechanism (7A) and the rod (8A), wherein the electric motor (6A) with the shaft (61A) is arranged in the first phalange (1), the cardan mechanism (7A) comprises the driving carrier (71A), the driven carrier (72A), the cross (73A) and the fork (74A). The driving carrier (71A) is connected via the shaft (61A) of the electric motor (6A) with the electric motor (6A), so that the driving carrier (71A) of the cardan mechanism (7A) is driven by the electric motor (6A), the driven carrier (72A) is connected with the first phalange (1), the cross (73A) is arranged between the driving carrier (71A) and the driven carrier (72A), the cross (73A) being rotatably connected with the driving carrier (71A) and rotatably connected with the driven carrier (72A), the fork (74A) being rotatably connected with the cross (73A).

Abstract: A method of setting up a joining device for joining a cover lens to a housing of a vehicle lighting device. The joining device features a mounting fixture and a robot with a suction head, The method features at least the following steps: inserting a housing into the mounting fixture and a cover lens into the suction head; transferring the suction head to an initial joining pose; joining the cover lens to the housing with the suction head in the initial joining pose; measuring the pose of the cover lens relative to a reference-point system, which comprises reference points on the surface of the housing and/or the cover lens; determining a set of translations and/or rotations, which transfer the cover lens to an optimal pose with minimal deviations from a target pose; and correcting the initial joining pose of the suction head with the determined set of translations and/or rotations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a production method of the powders composed of spherical heavy metal particles utilizing an ultrasonic atomization, where these powders can be applied in industrial applications, like additive manufacturing and several other.

Abstract: A multi-layer heat insulation element for thermal insulation of a battery is proposed, with a first cover layer, with a second cover layer and with a compressible and/or pliable intermediate ply arranged between the cover layers, which has at least one heat-resistant fibre layer, wherein the fibre layer is formed from a needled nonwoven and/or wherein the cover layers are flexurally weak and the heat insulation element as a whole is compressible and flexibly pliable.
