Publication number: 20080277170Abstract: A device configured to electronically capture a handwritten user input includes an input field asymmetrically disposed on a housing in order to provide a sufficient surface for resting a right-hand on the housing when a right-handed person makes an input on the input field. The device is rotatable by 180° and the input field is re-configurable, so that a left-handed person can comfortably make an input on the input field with the left-hand resting in a natural posture on the same hand-resting surface of the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2008Publication date: November 13, 2008Inventor: Andreas Guenther

Patent number: 7403527Abstract: A structure and technique for preventing collisions using a hash table in conjunction with a CAM to identify and prevent collision of binary keys. A portion of the hash value of a binary key, which does not collide with a portion of the hash value of any other reference binary key, is used as an entry in the hash table. If two or more binary keys have identical values of the portions of the hash values, each of these binary keys are stored in their entirety, in the CAM. The key in the CAM provides a pointer to a data structure where the action associated with that binary key is stored. If the binary key is not found in the CAM, the binary key is hashed, and a specific entry in the hash table is selected using a portion of this hash value.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2007Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gordon Taylor Davis, Andreas Guenther Herkersdorf, Clark Debs Jeffries, Mark Anthony Rinaldi

Patent number: 7236122Abstract: An object self-protection apparatus (12) having a monitoring device (14) which is fixed with respect to the object and a launch container (18), in particular for fragmentation projectiles, which has a target-tracking radar device (20) for the approach movement of a missile (22) which is to be defended against. The monitoring device (14) which is fixed with respect to the object and the target-tracking radar device (20) are connected together with an aiming drive for the launch container (18). Hereby, an expensive search radar is replaced by a passive sensor device (16) forming the monitoring device (14) which is fixed with respect to the object. The passive sensor device (16) generates accurately measured angular information in respect of the approaching missile (22). The distance and the speed of the missile (22) are then determined by the target-tracking radar device (20).Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2003Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: Diehl Munitionssysteme GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Gunnar Pappert, Andreas Günther, Volker Koch

Patent number: 7161961Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for combining at least two data signals having an input data rate into a single data stream having an output data rate being higher than the input data rate for transmission on a shared medium or vice versa, particularly, to a single SDH/SONET framer capable of handling a large range of SDH/SONET frames from STM-i to STM-j with an aggregated total capacity corresponding to an STM-j frame where i and j are integers in the range from 1 to 64 or higher according to the STM-N definition of the SDH/SONET standards. More over, the present invention can also be extended to work with STS-1 as lowest range. STS-1 exists in SONET only not SDH and corresponds to a data rate of 51.5 Mb/s a third of the 156 Mb/s of STM-1.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2001Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kenneth James Barker, Rolf Clauberg, Jean Louis Calvignac, Andreas Guenther Herkersdorf, Fabrice Jean Verplanken, David John Webb

Patent number: 6584373Abstract: The invention relates to a control system of a CNC machine tool with cyclically recurring sequences. The control system has a data input and visualization unit, a machine check unit and a NC control unit with at least one stored NC program for generating movement sequences for the CNC machine. Functional data which are required for the machining of a specific work piece and which have been fed into the data input and visualization unit or selected in the unit are conveyed from the data input and visualization to the NC control unit. The machine check unit calls up function modules of the NC control program according to selected control data and by means of control codes, said function modules representing part programs, and proceeds from one function module to the next independently of its hierarchical position in the tree structure. In so doing, the machine check unit deactivates the hold commands in each function module by means of the control codes.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2000Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: Reishauer AGInventors: Andreas Guenther, Ralph Aubert

Patent number: 5608189Abstract: A screwable cable seal introduction device for employment at sleeves or housings having an introduction sheath onto which a union nut can be screwed. A press sleeve is located in the inside of the introduction sheath, an annular seal composed of sealing material and laterally arranged support rings being deformed with the press sleeve until the required adhesion of the sealing material at the sealing surfaces to be contacted is accomplished. An automatic pressure compensation subsequently occurs, so that no permanent pressure is exerted onto the introduced cable.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1994Date of Patent: March 4, 1997Assignee: RXS Schrumpftechnik-Garnituren GmbHInventors: Hans Winterhoff, Andreas Guenther
