Patent number: 9223755Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for automatically generating a deterministic target differential equation system for evaluating an output differential equation system with stochastic input parameters with a device for providing a weighted sum of orthogonal basic functions inserted into the output differential equation system, which forms a stochastic random variable. A multiplication device for multiplying the output differential equation system by the orthogonal basic functions and an integration device for integrating the output differential equation system which is multiplied by the orthogonal basic functions to generate the deterministic target differential equation system are provided. A control device calculates stochastic output parameters based on the deterministic target differential equation system generated and accordingly controls a mechanical or electronic adjustment element. The apparatus may be suitable for use in a robust regulating and control circuit for regulating an installation, e.g.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2011Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Albert Gilg, Meinhard Paffrath, Utz Wever

Patent number: 8463048Abstract: In a method and apparatus for difference measurement of an image, the image is detected by an image sensor array having (N×N) sensor elements, wherein N=2n, n?2, and n being an integer number, each detected sample value is read as a positive or as a negative sample value according to a sign control pattern from a pattern control unit, and measurement values are generated for measurement template blocks of the image sensor array by a computing unit which computes for each measurement template block a weighted sum of the read sample values of the respective measurement template sensor elements depending on a predetermined measurement template. A measurement template block is, provided for at least four adjacent sensor elements of the image sensor array. The method/apparatus can be used in any kind of digital camera and allows for a fast generation of image data with a hardware implementation of low complexity.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2011Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Albert Gilg, Utz Wever, Yayun Zhou

Publication number: 20120167691Abstract: In a method for recording and reproducing pressure wave signals, a wave pressure recording and an analog digital converter are to be linked. Higher dynamics are to be effected at identical bit depths and lower bit depths are to be required for identical dynamics. All information provided by the pressure wave signal is calculated and stored on the basis of detected and directly quantified wave pressure differences of the pressure wave signal. In addition, coefficients can be stored and, if necessary, retransformed into absolute wave pressures. In this way, the pressure wave signal can be reproduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2010Publication date: July 5, 2012Applicant: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Albert Gilg, Utz Wever

Patent number: 7920995Abstract: A nonlinear technical product or process described by stochastic system output target values dependent on stochastic system input parameter values, thereby stating discrete technical system dependencies, is optimized by using a Response Surface Methods based on discrete technical system dependencies to generate at least one continuous auxiliary function for the real dependencies of the target values on the input parameter values. Next, an auxiliary function is used to generate at least one optimizing parameter for optimization by an objective function, thereby generating an additional discrete technical system dependence. The technical system is adaptively optimized by repeating the above, using the additional discrete technical system dependence, until the difference of successive optimized optimizing parameters is below a threshold. The final additional discrete technical system dependence is an optimal technical system operating point.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2006Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Albert Gilg, Francesco Montrone, Meinhard Paffrath, Utz Wever
