  • Publication number: 20250109826
    Abstract: A method (40) for detecting any throttling losses (11) in a hydrogen tank system (10), characterized by the following features: before access to the hydrogen tank system (10), a course (30) of pressure and temperature (31) expected for the access without the throttling losses (11) is determined at different measuring points in the hydrogen tank system (10), the pressure and the temperature (31) at the measuring points are continuously recorded during the access, and the throttling losses (11) are detected on a case-by-case basis on the basis of the deviation (33) of the pressure or the temperature (31) from the expected course (30).

  • Patent number: 12264823
    Abstract: A lighting system is provided for illuminating a cooking cavity in a cooking appliance. The lighting system includes a light guide rod configured to guide an illumination and a reflective element optically coupled to the light guide rod for reflecting the illumination from the light guide rod toward the cooking cavity. A guide for insertion of the light guide rod extends longitudinally between an insertion end and a reflective element connection end coupled to the reflective element. The guide defines an inner surface that is tapered, becoming narrower from the insertion end towards the reflective element connection end, for guiding the light guide rod during optical coupling with the reflective element.

  • Publication number: 20240389206
    Abstract: A cooking oven includes: (a) a cooking cavity; (b) a door to provide selective access to the cooking cavity; (c) a forward panel facing the door when the door takes a closed position, the forward panel comprising a latch cutout; (d) a latch assembly with a base portion that extends from rearward of the forward panel, through the latch cutout with a gap between the latch cutout and the base portion, and forward of the forward panel to couple to the door; and (e) a seal, such as that provided by a latch cover, that at least partially seals the gap to reduce air flow through the gap. During use of the cooking oven, a forward surface of the door forward of the gap exhibits a reduced temperature compared to if no such seal, such as that provided by the latch cover, was included.

  • Patent number: 9736968
    Abstract: A device for retaining a printed circuit board module in a mounting groove of a cold plate, the device comprising an elongated housing made of metal, which has a cross-section in the shape of a horizontal U. A pressure piece made of metal is mounted in the housing so as to be displaceable transversely relative to the rotational axis of the housing and comprises a flat clamping surface on the front side. A rotary cylinder can be rotatably mounted in the housing so as to be transversely displaceable relative to the rotational axis. During a rotation, eccentric guide elements can be used to effect a forward displacement of the rotary cylinder. The pressure piece follows the displacement of the rotary cylinder and slides outward. The waste heat of the printed circuit board module is transported via the housing and the pressure piece to the cold plate.

  • Publication number: 20080212265
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a switchgear cabinet for accommodating electronic plug-in modules with an interior in which the heat-generating plug-in modules can be inserted one on top of another, a roof area arranged above the interior and a base arranged underneath the interior and that forms a base area. The switchgear cabinet furthermore comprises an air channel that is arranged to the side of the interior and connects the roof area to the base area. A closed cooling circuit within the switchgear cabinet serves for carrying off the heat generated by the plug-in modules. A fan arranged in the roof area takes in air from the interior and blows this air into the air channel. The heated air from the air channel flows around a heat exchanger arranged in the base in such a way that the air is cooled and the thereby produced cooling air is admitted into the interior from below and flows through this interior vertically upwards.

  • Publication number: 20050144164
    Abstract: In a system for storing and searching for tags in a data stream, a signal processing block (120) contains a tag analysis block (121) providing functionality of procedures of searching and storing tags within an audio/video data stream. The tag analysis block (121) is provided with a configuration table (122) for storing configuration data for various types of recordings, defining distances of searching and storing tags. In this system a user tag is inserted at a place of existing tag when an existing tag distance is shorter or equal to a predefined tag searching distance. Otherwise, when there is no existing tag within the predefined tag searching distance, the user tag is inserted at the predefined tag searching distance.

  • Patent number: 6494779
    Abstract: A control cabinet with a frame having framing profiles and covered with side members and at least one door. The frame surrounds the inside of the control cabinet where electrical components are integrated. An air conditioning device which is placed on at least one vertical side of the frame rejects heat generated inside the control cabinet. This invention provides this type of cooling apparatus with additional equipment without the need for a large number of pieces. For this purpose, a separating member, parallel to the lateral side and placed at a distance therefrom, is attached to the framing profiles and forms with the side channel an air guiding channel. Moreover, the separating member comprises several passages for providing a physical connection between the air guiding channel and the inside of the control cabinet. Furthermore, air can be conveyed through the air guiding channel and through at least one passage by using at least one fan.

  • Patent number: 6488214
    Abstract: A control cabinet having a cabinet body with opened sides which can be closed at least partially by one or more side walls. An air conditioning device which is placed near at least one side wall rejects heat generated inside the cabinet body or guides it towards the inside of the cabinet body. This invention simplifies the design of the air conditioning device. For this purpose, an intermediate wall which is parallel to the side wall and located at a distance therefrom, is placed in such a way that it is oriented towards the inside of the cabinet body. In addition, the air conditioning device is placed in the intermediate space surrounded by the side wall and the intermediate wall.
