Patent number: 11853950Abstract: A method may include collecting data from a variety of data sources associated with a user. The data sources may include personal data sources, corporate data sources, and public data source. The data collected from the variety of data sources may be enriched through categorization and aggregation. For example, browser history may be categorized based on types of website and aggregated to reflect the quantity of interactions with each category of website. A multi-dimensional digital profile may be generated based on the enriched data. For instance, the digital profile may include a social, emotional, spiritual, environmental, occupational, intellectual, and physical dimension. One or more recommendation corresponding to one or more of a burnout prediction, wellness recommendation, learning plan, skill gap, and personality type may be generated based on the digital profile. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Martin Wezowski, Hans-Martin Will, Rohit Jalagadugula, Kavitha Krishnan, Sai Hareesh Anamandra, Vinay George Roy, Parthasarathy Menon, Alexander Schaefer

Patent number: 11801549Abstract: A method for removing a blind rivet includes a workpiece arrangement having first and second surfaces and a connecting hole. A blind rivet is fixed in the hole and has a shell and screw through the shell extending coaxially along a common center axis, the shell having a shell head portion, straight portion, deformation portion and threaded portion having an internal thread. The straight portion is in the hole and the deformation portion and the threaded portion protrude out of the hole, the screw having a screw head portion and pin portion having an external thread. The screw is in the shell such that the deformation portion of the shell is deformed where the outside diameter of the deformed deformation portion is larger than the diameter of the hole. The shell is cut in the region of the thread portion and/or the deformation portion, and the blind rivet is removed from the hole.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Jörn Skirke, Alexander Schäfer

Patent number: 11492996Abstract: The invention relates to a piston for an internal combustion engine formed from a lower part and an upper part which are threadingly connected to one another to form a piston. In one example, an anti-rotation safeguard device is used to prevent unwanted rotation of the upper part relative to the lower part. In another example, a forged extension and a nut are used to obtain a prestress during operation of the piston. In another example, a cooling gallery including extension bores are used to increase the cooling capacity.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: KS Kolbenschmidt GmbHInventors: Matthias Laqua, Alexander Schäfer, Wolfgang Köhler, Dieter Krämer

Publication number: 20220176440Abstract: A method for removing a two-part connector in a workpiece arrangement includes providing a workpiece arrangement having first and second surfaces and having a hole connecting the first surface to the second surface. A connector is fastened in the hole, which connector has a bolt extending along a central axis and a sleeve fastened on the bolt. The bolt has a head portion and a shank portion with retaining grooves. The sleeve is fastened to the bolt on the side of the second surface such that the inner surface thereof engages with the retaining grooves and prevents a relative movement of bolt and sleeve parallel to the central axis. The sleeve has an outside diameter which is greater than the diameter of the hole in the workpiece arrangement. The sleeve is cut and or the bolt, and the connector is removed from the hole.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2021Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Jörn Skirke, Alexander Schäfer

Publication number: 20170083620Abstract: Various techniques are described for assisting a learner in exploring media content. The system can provide recommended search topics to drill down into the search query. This can assist the learner in quickly finding relevant media. The solutions can also provide a text snippet summary that contains a collection of transcribed sentences from a media search result. Each transcribed sentence contains the search query. By reviewing the text snippet summary, a learner can obtain some context to the media search result without selecting the media search result. A preview for a search result can also be generated. The preview contains snippets of the media file which contain keywords of the media file. The media player can highlight the most viewed sections of the media along the time line and can highlight sections of the media which contain a keyword when a keyword is selected.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2015Publication date: March 23, 2017Inventors: Kok Thim Chew, Alexander Schaefer, Shriniket Kale
