  • Patent number: 8620482
    Abstract: An estimation unit can estimate, on a real-time basis, a maximum power generation capacity of a single cycle or combined cycle gas turbine power plant. For example, the actual power output and the maximum power generation capacity can be calculated relying on a mathematical process model. Subsequently, the calculated actual power output can be compared with the measured power output yielding a model-estimation error. Based on the model-estimation error, a correction signal can be deduced, to correct the calculated maximum power generation capacity. A controller can maintain a specified power reserve. The controller can use an estimate of the maximum power generation capacity as a reference, subtract a load offset, and apply the resulting signal as upper limit of the load set-point.

  • Patent number: 8514488
    Abstract: A tube of a surgical microscope has a base part, intermediate part pivotable about a rotational axis on the base part, and an ocular part pivotable about a rotational axis on the intermediate part. The imaging beam path is guided through the base part, intermediate part and pivotable ocular part. The tube has a tube lens system which transfers a parallel imaging beam path into an intermediate image. The parallel imaging beam path enters via an opening in a connecting piece of the base part. The tube has a first displaceable mirror element movable about the rotational axis on the base part. The tube has a further displaceable mirror element movable on the intermediate part about the rotational axis. The first mirror element directs the imaging beam path to the further mirror element. The first mirror element and further mirror element are mounted in the imaging beam path between a lens unit having positive refractive power and a lens unit having negative refractive power.

  • Patent number: 7469909
    Abstract: A chuck for receiving tools (1) that are operated by rotating around the axis thereof, particularly screwdriver bits, and having an insertion section (3) which is provided with a receiving cavity (2) having a non-circular cross-sectional area (3). The tool can be locked in the cavity (2) by a holding element (4) which is assigned to the cavity wall in order to prevent the tool from being withdrawn from the cavity (2). The holding element (4) can be deactivated by displacing an actuating member in a form of an actuating sleeve (5). The tool (1) rests backwards against the cavity (2). The tool (1) can be displaced from the resting position in the direction of the opening of the cavity (2) by actuating the actuating sleeve (5). In order to facilitate removal of the bit, the chuck also comprises components (15, 16, 17) for releasing the face (1) of the bit, and a magnet (9) which retains the bit in the cavity from the resting position.

  • Patent number: 7287449
    Abstract: Screwing tool (1) having a grip (2) and a shank (3), which is received removably in a cavity (4) open toward an end of the grip (2) and which at its free end has an actuating portion (5). The shank (3) is retained in a position of use such that it is fixed in terms of rotation on the grip, to avoid sliding in the axial direction, by a retaining element (14) associated with the grip (2). The retaining element (14) can be displaced into a removal position by displacement of an actuating member (6) in order for the shank to be removed from the grip (2). In a storage position, a large part of the shank (3) is located in the cavity (4), where it is held by a holding element (H). The holding element (H) is releasable, so that part of the shank (3) can be moved out.

  • Patent number: 7063332
    Abstract: A chuck (1) for tools, especially screwdriver bits with a polygonal section (2), has a polygonal cavity (3) for the insertion of the polygonal section (2). A wall (4) of the polygonal cavity (3) has a window (5) in which is disposed a pressure-piece (6) which can be displaced in the insertion direction (E) and which, in order to secure the inserted polygonal section (2) against being drawn out, is forced against the polygonal section (2), in a direction transverse to the insertion direction (E), by a sloping inner wall (9) of an actuating element. The actuating element is outside the window and is retained in a clamping position by a restoring spring (10), and, in a release position of the actuating element (7), moves aside out of the polygonal cavity (3) in order for the polygonal section (2) to be drawn out.

  • Publication number: 20040099106
    Abstract: A screwing tool having a torque-introduction part (2) with a cavity (4) in which a profile body (3) is inserted in a rotationally fixed manner, the profile body forming, by its section which projects out of the cavity (4), an operating end (1) for torque-transmitting insertion into a screwing-tool entry opening of a screw head, wherein the torque-introduction part (2) forms a polygonal section for inserting the screwing tool into a screwdriver mount or a bit holder, and the operating tip (1) is rotable, counter to a restoring force, in relation to the cavity-opening edge (4′) as a result of the profile body (3) being secured in the cavity (4) such that it is capable of torsion, having a torsion section (16) formed as a torsion bar. The profile body (3), which is produced from a hardened steel, forms the torsion section (16), which is fitted, by a securing section (18), in the base (4′″) of the cavity, the base being coordinated to polygonal section (17).

  • Patent number: 6425434
    Abstract: The casting chamber for a die casting machine includes a casting chamber jacket in which, over its entire length, there is provided an inner jacket defining the sliding surface for the pressure piston. In order for excessive heat in the inner jacket to be uniformly distributed and passed to the casting chamber jacket, copper rings are inserted in the inner jacket (3), the latter being pressed against the casting chamber jacket by means of screws threaded into a conical wedge. In this manner, heat distortion of the casting chamber can, for the first time, be held within limits, without requiring an oil or water cooling apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20020097023
    Abstract: A backup battery for buffering the operating voltage of a circuit arrangement is realized by a battery combined with an electrically irreversible element established by a melt fuse to form a unit. When the irreversible element exhibits its original condition when monitored, it is placed into the irreversible condition and the point in time is stored. As a result of the positive identification of the point in time of the initial commissioning of the backup battery, a premature replacement of the battery before expiration of the guaranteed service life that may appear necessary due to security considerations is avoidable. In a specific development, reaching the end of the service life of the backup battery is marked by the irreversible element.
