Abstract: Disclosed is a method for identifying faults in a drive. A normalized spectrum is determined, which is dependent on a speed. Peak values in the spectrum are identified. A first peak value is identified at a first frequency and a second peak value is identified at a second frequency. A pattern is identified based on the first frequency and the second frequency.

Abstract: A stator of a rotary electrical machine includes a laminated core having grooves, windings inserted into the grooves for forming a multi-phase winding system, and an insulating layer made of plastic and sprayed between partial winding overhangs of the windings of phases inserted immediately one after the other. The insulating layer is formed as a mesh-like structure having junctions and brace-like connections running between the junctions.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor for generating compressed air. The compressor includes a rotor defined by a plurality of axial disks including a first disk and a second disk. A first row of blades extends radially outwardly from the first disk, and a second row of blades extends radially outwardly from the second disk. A row of cantilevered vanes is located at an axial location between the first row of blades and the second row of blades. A bleed path extends at least partially through the second disk and includes an entrance at an axial location between the first row of blades and at least a portion of the row of cantilevered vanes. The entrance communicates with a compressed air flowpath through the compressor.

Abstract: A vehicle control system for data exchange in a transport system, where a control unit is configured to transfer control commands to a vehicle configured to transfer status messages to the control unit, where a signal generator is connected to a first data line and a second data line and provides a changeover signal, a first switching means is arranged in the control unit and is configured to change positive half-waves of the changeover signal, and a second switching means is arranged in the vehicle and is configured to change negative half-waves of the changeover signal, in a circuit formed by the first and second data lines to transfer binary values back-and-forth between the control unit and the vehicle.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine including a stator vane directing hot combustion gases onto rotor blades is provided. The stator vane includes a platform disposed at the side of the vane radially inward/outward with respect to the axis of rotation of the engine, the platform having a trailing edge portion downstream with respect to the flow of gases past the stator vane. A support and cooling arrangement is included for directing a cooling fluid to an upstream end of a radially inwardly/outwardly facing side of the trailing edge portion of the platform, the arrangement also directing the cooling fluid to flow over the side in a generally axial direction to a downstream end of the side, the cooling fluid cooling the trailing edge portion as it flows over the side, wherein turbulators are included to increase heat transfer from the trailing edge portion as the cooling fluid flows over the side.

Abstract: An axial turbomachine rotor is provided. The turbomachine includes a rotor body designed in a rotation symmetrical manner around the rotor axis, a rotor blade ring including rotor blades that are each fixed to the rotor body by the blade foot thereof and a sealing disc designed in a rotation symmetrical manner around the rotor axis that is arranged having the outer edge thereof radially inside, neighboring an axially extending protrusion of the blade foot, so that a hollow space is formed between the blade foot and the sealing disc, wherein a groove exists on the outer edge leading radially to the outside, wherein a sealing ring is mounted that may slide radially to the outside in the groove during operation of the rotor by centrifugal force until the sealing ring radially contacts the inside of the protrusion and thus seals the hollow space on the blade foot.

Abstract: In successive acceleration stages, the nominal take-off speed of the take-off elements in each acceleration stage is higher than the nominal take-off speed of the take-off elements of the respective preceding acceleration stage in the direction of transport. In the respective acceleration stage, the speed of the consignment lying on the take-off element(s) is measured by a sensor T1 positioned on the side of the take-off element. As soon as the speed of the consignment lying on the take-off element, which is measured in the feed region of each acceleration stage by the sensor positioned on the side of the take-off element, deviates by a defined value from the nominal speed of the take-off element in the acceleration stage, i.e., as soon as the consignment is received in the acceleration stage practically without slippage, the speed of the take-off element of the preceding acceleration stage is reduced.

Abstract: A magnetic body is to be moved in a contactless fashion in a working space with the aid of the magnet coil system composed of fourteen individually drivable individual coils. The coil system is to be used for this purpose to produce three magnetic field components and five magnetic field gradients. The individual coils are preferably arranged on end-face or lateral surfaces situated oppositely in pairs, and on a tubular peripheral surface surrounding the working space.

Abstract: An amplifier arrangement comprises an active amplification element arranged between a first and a second contact within a first signal path. A signal fed in at the first contact is amplified in the amplification element. Furthermore, a controller for a variably operation of the amplification element, as well as a passive second signal path. The second signal path, which is arranged parallel with the first signal path and bypasses the first signal path, is also contained therein. An ultrasound device contains such an amplifier arrangement.
