  • Patent number: 11079219
    Abstract: A method of generating a 3D thermogram of an object includes capturing geometrical data of the object to prepare a 3D model of the object, capturing measured temperature values and recording conditions for object points of at least one partial surface of the object, associating the measured temperature values with the object points to generate a 3D thermogram, repeating capturing of measured temperature values for the object points on new recording conditions and comparing the recording conditions with the new recording conditions for the object points. The method further includes automatically overwriting the captured measured temperature value with the repeated captured measured temperature values for the respective object point of the 3D thermogram when the new recording conditions are closer to ideal conditions than the recording conditions, and projecting the generated 3D thermogram onto the associated at least one partial surface of the object itself.

  • Publication number: 20140103886
    Abstract: in a method for producing reactive current with a converter (4), a generator-side converter unit (41) and a system-side converter unit (43) are connected to one another via a DC voltage intermediate circuit (42). In a normal operating state, the converter (4) serves to convert and feed an electrical power produced by a generator (2, 2?) into an energy supply system (7), and in a faulty operating state serves to provide electrical reactive current to the energy supply system (7). The generator-side converter unit (41) is isolated from the generator (2, 2?) and the generator-side converter unit (41) is connected to the energy supply system (7). A reactive current is provided to the energy supply system (7) by means of the system-side converter unit (41) and the generator-side converter unit (43).

  • Patent number: 8547249
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for avoiding a collision between a vehicle and another traffic participant. According to the inventive method, a cell phone carried by the traffic participant sends a signal including a position of the traffic participant. A processing unit processes the signal including the position of the traffic participant for a position or evaluation history. The processing unit determines an estimation of a future position of the traffic participant on the basis of the position or evaluation history. The processing unit evaluates a likelihood of a collision between the vehicle and the traffic participant on the basis of the estimated future position of the traffic participant and an estimation of a future position of the vehicle. An acceleration of the traffic participant is sensed by an acceleration sensor of the cell phone.

  • Patent number: 8294430
    Abstract: The invention relates to a double-fed asynchronous generator, which is provided with a slipring rotor (1b), and to a method for its operation. In the normal manner, the asynchronous generator has a machine-side converter (5) and a network-side converter (6). According to the invention, the asynchronous generator is designed to supply short-circuit power in that at least one machine-side rotor current (iRM) is maintained in the event of a short circuit, in order to allow the formation of a stator-side short-circuit current. In order that inherent short-circuit currents in sensitive components of the converters (5, 6) are nevertheless avoided, at least the machine-side rotor current (iRM) is maintained in such a way that the actual rotor current (iRMact) in the event of a short circuit is used as the new nominal value in a control apparatus for the asynchronous generator.
