Patent number: 11452912Abstract: A system and method for continuously tracking a competitor on an athletics track, including: a wireless transmitter operable to wirelessly submit a query provided with a timestamp, a wearable transponder attachable to the competitor, and configured to receive the query, to generate a transponder specific response and to wirelessly transmit the response, stationary receivers distributed across or around the athletics track. Each of the stationary receivers is configured to receive the transponder specific response and to determine a runtime, which is indicative of a point in time relative to the timestamp at which the transponder specific response has been received by the respective stationary receiver. A processor is connected to the stationary receivers and is configured to determine a position of the wearable transponder relative to the athletics track or relative to the stationary receivers on the basis of the runtimes received from the stationary receivers.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2020Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: SWISS TIMING LTD.Inventors: Andreas Meissner, Christian Voelker

Patent number: 10746395Abstract: A gasification burner for a multiple-burner arrangement in an entrained-flow gasifier, in which the gasification burner extends along a main axis and in which the media for the gasification reaction in the gasification burner are guided in separate media channels and exit at the burner mouth in a direction having an angle to the main axis that is not zero. A vertical installation with an optimally adaptable flame shape is provided. Depending on the orientation of the burners, the flame shape is adaptable, whether it be a minimized total flame diameter for an initial slag formation of the cooling screen or an increase in the total twist of the total flame for an increased particle deposition on the reactor wall. The gasification burner with angled burner tips can be used as part of a retrofit.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2016Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Andreas Meissner, Dietmar Degenkolb, Thomas Fleischer, Matthias Köhler

Publication number: 20190225898Abstract: A raw gas washing system with a high degree of deposition of dust in an entrained flow gasification device for the conversion of ash-containing fuels by a gasification device containing free oxygen into a raw gas with a high proportion of hydrogen, in which the fuel is converted in a gasification reactor at temperatures of between 1200 and 1900° C. and method pressures of up to 10 MPa into raw gas and liquid slag. A quenching space designed as a free-space quench contains an additional washing ring which causes a direct-current washing of the quenched raw gas, reducing the particle loading of the raw gas in the raw gas output, thereby reducing subsequent raw gas purification steps.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2017Publication date: July 25, 2019Applicant: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Tino Just, Friedemann Mehlhose, Darek Schmauch, Andreas Meissner, Ralph Schumann

Patent number: 9464247Abstract: A device for treating steam-saturated crude gases from the entrained flow gasification of fuels before entry into heat exchanges sited upstream of a crude gas converting operation. To avoid solid deposits in an entrance region of the heat exchangers, a crude gas is converted from a saturated into the superheated state by supply of hot gas. Hot gas contemplated is superheated high pressure steam or recycled superheated converted crude gas.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2014Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Norbert Fischer, Manfred Jänig, Doris Klostermann, Andreas Meissner, Manfred Schingnitz, Guido Schuld

Patent number: 8573374Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrodynamic torque converter having an impeller wheel, a turbine wheel and an oscillation damper which is accommodated in the converter housing, and a converter lockup clutch. Two damper stages are arranged here as a serial damper between the output hub of the torque converter and the converter lockup clutch, and a damper stage is arranged between the turbine wheel and the output hub. In order to improve the damping properties, a rotary oscillation absorber is additionally provided which is arranged between the dampers and is also connected to the turbine wheel in a rotationally fixed fashion.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2009Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KGInventors: Heiko Magerkurth, Christian Huegel, Andreas Meissner
