  • Patent number: 12265113
    Abstract: To determine an AC insulation resistance between the AC connections of an inverter and a ground potential, the AC connections are connected to an AC energy sink in an emergency standby operation in order to transmit energy from a DC energy source to an AC energy sink and an insulation test is performed in emergency standby operation. An AC fault current flowing between an AC connection and the ground potential is determined, and the AC insulation resistance is calculated from the AC fault current.

  • Patent number: 12265664
    Abstract: A method for aligning coordinate systems of user devices in an augmented reality system using somatic points of a user's hand as alignment markers. Images captured from multiple user devices are used to align the reference coordinate systems of the user devices to a common reference coordinate system. In some examples, user devices capture images of a hand of a user and use object recognition to identify somatic points as alignment markers. The somatic points of a user device are translated to a common reference coordinate system determined by another user device.

  • Patent number: 9836509
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for queries with an arbitrary number of input streams to be created from a generic query template, during runtime, based on, for example, configuration parameters provided by the system or a user. The generic query templates include a generic query template string, query template segments, and an orchestration mechanism for automatic query template generation. The systems and methods of the present invention provide for the substitution of concrete input streams, counters (e.g., stream indices) and query template segments (which can include further placeholders) into the generic query templates. Further, the input placeholders of the generic query template provide for any part of the query template to be substituted with arbitrary logic. Also, the orchestration process is query language independent and can be applied (and extended) for any query language.

  • Patent number: 9471640
    Abstract: Data streams are received for processing by a query. The query is associated with expected input data stream types and expected output data stream types. The received data streams are evaluated to determine if they correspond to the expected data stream types. If the received data stream types define data for a physical quantity that is defined in a unit of measure that is not the expected unit of measure, then unit conversion is required. Predefined mappings are utilized for performing required unit conversions and an optimal solution for conversion is determined. The unit conversions are performed automatically by unit conversion operators that are integrated within the process of generating of a runnable query. The runnable query is deployed and executed to generate result output streams that match the expected output stream type.

  • Patent number: 9121750
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods to visualize measuring and dosing operations are described herein. In various embodiments, a computer user interface including a gauge bar, a progress bar, and a target value in combination with a weighing device may be used to measure and dose elements. In one embodiment the method ensures precise and fast dosing when weighing an element. In various embodiments, configuring a mapping function allows numerous combinations of a speed of progress of a progress bar when weighing an element. A progress bar, in combination with acceptable weight values, such as a target value, a primary minimum value, and a primary maximum value allows for color representation when a progress bar enters and exits acceptable weight values. Configuring a set or a plurality set of secondary minimum and maximum values is possible for additional acceptable weight values.

  • Patent number: 8662273
    Abstract: A dual clutch for coupling an engine-side input shaft with a first transmission-side and/or a second transmission-side output shaft. A first clutch has a first pressure plate, which is axially mobile relative to a first counter plate, for coupling with a first clutch disk connected to the first output shaft. A second clutch has a second pressure plate, which is axially mobile relative to a second counter plate, for coupling with a clutch disk connected to the second output shaft. A clutch cover is connected to the first and second counter plates. An actuator displaces the first and/or the second pressure plate. The actuator is radially supported on the input side on the input shaft by the clutch cover and a torsional vibration damper, which is connected to the clutch cover and is radially mounted on the output side on one of the output shafts and/or on a transmission housing.

  • Patent number: 8635208
    Abstract: A request handler may determine a query of a data stream management system (DSMS), wherein the query includes a plurality of operators being configured to execute the query collaboratively within the DSMS, and wherein stored stream-related data includes operator-associated windows of state data from the stream data, the request handler being further configured to determine a new query having new windows corresponding to the windows of the original query. A windows sorter may sort the new windows from longest duration to shortest duration to obtain a sorted new windows list. A migration estimator may calculate individual migration times for migrating state data from each window to its corresponding new window, beginning with the longest new window of the sorted new windows list. A migration aggregator may aggregate the individual migration times to obtain a total migration time for the new query.
