Patent number: 11403148Abstract: An electronic control unit includes a plurality of cores. The electronic control unit hosts, by virtualization, a plurality of partitions including a first and a second partition. Each of the partitions is assigned to at least one of the cores. The first partition is implemented to run, on its at least one core, an AUTOSAR architecture platform instance providing AUTOSAR basic software services. The second partition is implemented to run, on its at least one core, AUTOSAR software components. A partition interface couples the first and second partitions such that the AUTOSAR software components are run as part of said AUTOSAR architecture platform instance implemented in the first partition.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2019Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: APTIV TECHNOLOGIES LIMITEDInventors: Arne Lenz, Andreas Schäfer, Sven Hänsel, Max Neusser

Patent number: 11275139Abstract: Systems and methods for determining proton spectral characteristics associated with a pair of targets from an MRI data volume are provided. The methods can include identifying spectral widths and peak-to-peak distance associated with the targets from the MRI data volume. The targets could include water and fat. The identified proton spectral characteristics can be useful for accurate spectral fat saturation, improving dynamic shim routines, and optimizing bandwidth of radiofrequency pulses used in multi-slice or multi-band excitation.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2021Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Siemens Healthcare GmbHInventors: Venkata Veerendranadh Chebrolu, Peter Kollasch, Michael Wullenweber, Andreas Schäfer, Johann Sukkau

Patent number: 10344864Abstract: A suction roll assembly for sealing at least one negative or positive pressure zone which adjoins a surface of the roll which is perforated and moves in a movement direction in a machine for making paper, tissue or cardboard, has at least one sealing element which lies opposite the moving surface and is arranged in a receptacle which can be moved to change the format of the negative or positive pressure zone. In order to simplify the adjustability of the receptacle in order to position the sealing element, there is a signal transmitter which is connected directly or indirectly to the sealing element and the signal of which can be received on that side of the moving surface which faces away from the sealing element.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2017Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Voith Patent GmbHInventors: Peer Schotge, Susanne Berger, Klaus Hermann, Andreas Schäfer, Daniel Gronych

Patent number: 8284111Abstract: An antenna apparatus has a first antenna branch and a second antenna branch. Both the first and the second antenna branch are in the form of a conductor loop which is not closed, and the first antenna branch is arranged at a distance from the second antenna branch in a direction which is substantially at right angles to the surface bounded by the respective conductor loop, such that the first loop direction, which is defined from the foot point to the free end of the first antenna branch, is arranged in the opposite direction to the second loop direction, which is defined from the foot point to the free end of the second antenna branch.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2008Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Continental Automotive GmbHInventors: Guy-Aymar Chakam, Andreas Schäfer, Martin Weinberger

Patent number: 7612952Abstract: An adjustment mechanism to adjust a telescope sighting system comprises an adjusting muff rotatably supported on a connector part to drive the adjustment mechanism. The connector part is designed to transmit the motion of the adjusting muff to its connected components in order to adjust them. A first interlocking component is linked to the adjusting muff and fitted with first lock elements to constitute a first click array. A display means indicates the excursion of rotation of the adjusting muff, and a switch actuates the displays following a predetermined rotational excursion of the adjusting muff. A second interlocking component linked to the adjusting muff is provided with a second click array—different from the first click array—constituted by second lock components.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2007Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: Schmidt & Bender GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Andreas Schäfer
