  • Publication number: 20250091111
    Abstract: A method for setting a roller hemming process for hemming a plurality of identical component arrangements comprises guiding a hemming roller arranged on a robot by the robot in accordance with a predetermined hemming path for forming a hemming flange of a component of a component arrangement, wherein a hemming process force acting on the hemming roller by the robot during forming is detected, wherein the hemming process force can be changed by a corresponding control of the robot, and a target hemming quality to be achieved is predetermined. The robot is controlled to achieve the target hemming quality, taking into account the detected hemming process force and an actual geometry of a formed hemming flange resulting from the forming process.

  • Publication number: 20250020601
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an X-ray analysis apparatus and a method of X-ray analysis. The X-ray analysis apparatus enables a user to carry out a plurality of X-ray analysis applications, for analysing a sample by measuring X-ray diffraction and/or X-ray fluorescence, using the same X-ray source. The apparatus comprises an X-ray source for irradiating the sample with X-rays, the X-ray source comprising a solid anode and a cathode for emitting an electron beam. It also comprises a focusing arrangement for focusing the electron beam onto the anode, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive X-ray analysis application information and to control the X-ray analysis apparatus to selectively operate in either a first X-ray analysis mode or a second X-ray analysis mode based on the X-ray analysis application information. In the first X-ray analysis mode the X-ray source operates at a first operating power and has an effective focal spot size that is less than 100 ?m.

  • Patent number: 11714829
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for replicating data from table in a source database to a target database. In some embodiments, data replication includes access plan delimitation and access plan calculation steps and is performed on a table having multiple partitions. A table may be divided into one or more partitions and each partition may be further divided into one or more access plans. Access plan delimitation may involve calculating, in parallel, boundaries of access plans within partitions of the table. Access plan calculation may be initiated on the first partition that has completed the access plan delimitation steps, and may involve transferring data from each delimited partition from the table in the source database to the target database.

  • Publication number: 20210074132
    Abstract: Methods for detecting faults in a siren-based alert system include receiving, by a siren device from a central siren controller, an activation command. The activation command identifies a neighbor siren device that is to be activated. Audible alerts output by the neighbor siren device include a unique identifying characteristic associated with the neighbor siren device. The method includes determining that the unique identifying characteristic is not detectable by the siren device and, in response, taking corrective action. The corrective action includes the siren device sending a siren fault notification to the central siren controller indicating a failure to detect the unique identifying characteristic and may also include modifying the audible alert output by the siren device to compensate for the faulty siren device. The siren device may send a siren fault notification to the central siren controller if an unexpected audible alert, such as a potential false alarm, is detected.

  • Patent number: 9522418
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for producing metal sections having two profile flanges arranged opposite one another and having flange inner faces that are to be kept apart from each other by a closely toleranced final chamber dimension. In order to adapt the chamber dimension from a starting chamber dimension K0 to a desired final chamber dimension K1, the metal section is passed through the device, which forms working gaps between an inner working roll pair and outer support rolls. The working rolls that form the inner working roll pair roll over each other in order to brace the forming forces exerted on the working roll pair from the flange inner faces against each other.
