Patent number: 12172848Abstract: A system for assembling layers of packages and for forming transport and storage units from the layers. A grouping station has a grouping table for arranging and grouping the packages in a predefined layer arrangement. A package delivery feeds the packages to the grouping table in a conveying direction. The package delivery has two row conveyors for transporting at least one row of packages each on either side of the grouping table. A transfer unit transfers the packages from the row conveyors to the grouping table by sliding them in a respective sliding direction over a slide-over buffer region between each row conveyor and the grouping table, in order to form the layer of packages. A layer stacker then slides the layer of packages from the grouping table over onto a plate provided in the layer stacker, while maintaining the layer arrangement, in order to form the transport and storage unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2021Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: KHS GmbHInventors: Stefan Helfrich, Alexander Mann, Martin Rübsaamen

Publication number: 20240367914Abstract: A device for handling and/or grouping piece goods having a handling table extending along a main axis with a manipulation zone and a collection zone disposed one behind the other along the main axis in a transport direction. A first manipulator manipulates the piece goods and is designed to be movable at least partly in the direction of the main axis with variable positions. The first manipulator is moved between at least one normal position and at least one required position differing from the normal position. The first manipulator has a base working region paired with the normal position for manipulating the piece goods in the manipulation zone and a required working region paired with the required position for manipulating the piece goods outside of the base working region. An optical detection device monitors the manipulation of the piece goods in the manipulation zone and/or collection zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2022Publication date: November 7, 2024Inventors: Stefan Habermann, Alexander Mann

Patent number: 10649021Abstract: A power transistor, a driver and an output stage. The power transistor includes an active region and a metallization level located above the active region for power distribution and for detecting an imminent metallization error induced by stress (RPP stress) caused by repeated power pulses. The power transistor also includes a further metallization level, which is located above the metallization level and in which galvanically isolated metal elements extend mutually parallel in a direction of extent, of which one pair is used for energizing the power transistor. It is a characteristic of the power transistor that at least one cut-out is formed above the active region in the further metallization level. The cut-out has the effect of decreasing heat dissipation. The power transistor is thereby heated more intensely in the localized region, so that large temperature gradients occur in the transition region defined by the edges of the metal elements.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2017Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Alexander Mann, Daniel Schneider, Henning Lohmeyer
