  • Publication number: 20250109851
    Abstract: The invention provides a burner device 100 for providing thermal energy by combustion of an air-fuel mixture G, which burner device comprises a flame body 1 which delimits an interior space 11 which is connected via openings in the flame body 1 to an outer combustion surface 12 of the flame body 1, on which the combustion of an air-fuel mixture G, which is introduced into the interior space 11 and flows through the openings, takes place in one or more burner flames, and a flow guiding device 2 which comprises an axial flow channel 21, which is located mostly or completely in the interior space 11, for guiding through the air-fuel mixture G, which runs in particular parallel to a longitudinal axis LA of the flame body 1, the axial length of which is selected as a function of an oscillation frequency induced by the one or more burner flames.

  • Patent number: 12066487
    Abstract: A method for simple measurement of phase shift between a first clock signal and a second clock signal is described, each clock signal having a period T0. The method includes: feeding the first clock signal into a first input of a mixer; feeding the second clock signal into a second input of the mixer; feeding the output signal of the mixer into a low pass filter; and measuring the output signal of the low pass filter, with the aid of an output voltage that is normalized to operating voltage of the mixer. A circuit for implementing the method includes a mixer and a low pass filter. The mixer includes a first input for feeding in the first clock signal, and a second input for feeding in the second clock signal. The output of the mixer is connected to the input of the low pass filter.

  • Publication number: 20240235559
    Abstract: Detection of harmonic states in a delay-locked loop. A plurality of delayed clock signals within the delay-locked loop is evaluated and, on the basis thereof, in particular on the basis of the time points of the rising edges in the delayed clock signals, it is ascertained whether a harmonic state has arisen in the delay-locked loop.

  • Patent number: 11674967
    Abstract: A new, stable trimeric TNF? structure is disclosed with distorted symmetry which can bind to the TNFR1 receptor to attenuate signalling therefrom, which can be used in the treatment and/or prevention of diseases associated with the soluble TNF?/TNFR1 interaction. Membrane-bound TNF? is not affected in its ability to signal through TNFR2, and thus the new structure of TNF? may be used in therapies which do not significantly raise the risk of infection or malignancy.

  • Patent number: 11362628
    Abstract: An input stage for an LVDS receiver circuit is provided, which includes at least one supply voltage connection as well as a first and a second stage input to be acted upon by a differential input signal pair. The input stage further includes a first and a second differential stage, the stage inputs being directly connected to one input each of the first differential stage and indirectly, via one level-shifting circuit each, to one input each of the second differential stage. According to the present invention, the first and the second differential stage are connected to the supply voltage connection via one transistor each of a third differential stage, the control input of one of these transistors being connected to a measuring path connecting the stage inputs to one another, with the control input of the other transistor being connected to an apparatus/device (arrangement) for providing a reference voltage.

  • Patent number: 10634117
    Abstract: A method for protecting personnel working in a wind turbine nacelle or hub includes monitoring a nacelle roof hatch and a hub access hatch, each hatch having a switch configured therewith. When at least one of the hatches is detected as opened, a control system detects if a rotor lock has been engaged. If the rotor lock has not been engaged, the control system triggers a rotor brake to stop rotor and drivetrain component rotational movement and actuates a first control lockout between the respective switch configured with the open hatch and the rotor brake. The control system also initiates a control lockout that prevents release of the rotor brake until the switch indicates that the open hatch has been closed and the first control lockout has been reset.
