  • Patent number: 12240165
    Abstract: A metering device serves as an equipping or retrofitting kit for a device for producing a three-dimensional object by means of solidifying, layer by layer, a building material in powder form at those positions that correspond to the cross-section of the object to be produced in the respective layer. The metering device has a metering element, which metering element is rotatable about an axis, preferably an axis of its own, particularly preferably about an, in particular its own, longitudinal axis and which is suitable for dispensing the building material in powder form in a metered manner. The metering element is designed to dispense locally different amounts of powder along the direction of the axis.

  • Patent number: 12241565
    Abstract: A method for preventing control-induced oscillations in a valve with a pneumatic actuator and position control with an integrating component, including the following steps: Checking whether oscillations of the valve member occur by counting the zero crossings or extreme values of the control difference. If oscillations were detected, it is checked whether they result from oscillations of the set point. If not, the dead zone is increased and/or the gain parameter is decreased. If no oscillations were detected, it is checked whether wear in the drive has exceeded a predetermined measure. If so, the dead zone is decreased and/or the gain parameter is increased. In this way, oscillations caused by the I-component of the control can be detected and stopped. Further changes to the parameters are only made when friction is expected to have decreased due to wear.

  • Patent number: 12239253
    Abstract: A travelling kit for storing travel accessories in a travel bag, wherein the travel bag is transformable to a travel blanket. The travel blanket, in a planar, flat condition, circumscribes a cover portion defined by perimetral joining edges adjacent an interface of the travel blanket and the cover portion. The travel portion is foldable around a neck pillow and other travel accessories so that when the cover portion is folded in half, the resulting adjacent perimetral joining edges can be joined to form the travel bag that encloses the travel accessories.

  • Patent number: 12240023
    Abstract: A flatness-measuring device for a hot-rolled strip within a hot-rolling mill includes an entry-side deflection roller and an exit-side deflection roller. A central deflection roller is arranged between the entry-side deflection roller and the exit-side deflection roller. The central deflection roller is used as a flatness-measuring roller. To prevent the hot-rolled strip from departing laterally during a flatness measurement, the flatness-measuring device has a sensing apparatus for sensing an actual position of the hot-rolled strip. An adjusting apparatus is connected to the sensing apparatus and to at least one of the deflection rollers. The flatness-measuring device is designed to vary an angle between a longitudinal central axis of the deflection roller respectively connected to the adjusting apparatus and a longitudinal axis of the flatness-measuring device based on a deviation of the actual position of the hot-rolled strip from a predefined target position.

  • Patent number: 12243329
    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may receive an image that depicts an environment associated with a vehicle. The device may partition the image into a plurality of subsections. The device may analyze the plurality of subsections to determine respective subsection information, wherein subsection information, for an individual subsection, indicates: a probability score that the subsection includes a line segment associated with an object class, a position of a representative point of the line segment, and a direction of the line segment. The device may identify, based on the respective subsection information of the plurality of subsections, a line associated with the object class that is associated with a set of subsections of the plurality of subsections. The device may perform one or more actions based on identifying the line associated with the object class.

  • Patent number: 12239040
    Abstract: A method to reduce bag rupture in a spray dispensed from a nozzle involves detecting one or more bags rupturing from an initial spray pattern of the spray dispensed from the nozzle, the one or more bags comprising a thin membraned semi-spherical protrusion extending from the spray, where the initial spray pattern is a region of the spray initially exiting the nozzle that forms a continuous sheet-like portion. The spray includes an agricultural spray including water, at least one polymer, and at least one perforation-aid type adjuvant. The agricultural spray exhibits fewer fine droplets exhibiting a diameter less than about 150 ?m formed via the bag rupture approach to droplet formation.

  • Patent number: 12244651
    Abstract: A lawful interception administrative function (LI ADMF) provides a virtual network function (VNF) implemented (i.e. implemented in a cloud infrastructure) LI intercept access point (IAP) only with one-way encrypted targets instead of clear-text targets while keeping the lawful interception triggering capability of the IAP unaffected. The ADMF, being external to the cloud infrastructure in which the IAP is running, executes hashing of targets before the targets are provided to the IAP. The IAP will never receive targets in clear text and thereby greatly reducing the LI security risks.

  • Patent number: 12243205
    Abstract: A method for avoiding a field of view disturbance for an operator of an object. The field of view disturbance IS caused by the overlay of virtual additional information via a display unit of a transportation vehicle or data glasses. The overlay of additional information supports the operator in the operation of an object. The method carries out an image analysis by which it is checked whether a field of view disturbance is caused by the overlay of the virtual additional information, and a measure for suppressing the field of view disturbance is carried out when a field of view disturbance is detected.
