Publication number: 20220205223Abstract: A method calculates an excavation volume that was excavated by a construction machine using a tool. A motion trajectory of the tool over time is determined using one or more of the following sensors: inertial measurement unit, angle sensors, and linear sensors. At least part of the motion trajectory is classified based on machine load data as an excavation trajectory during which excavation occurs. The excavation volume is calculated using the excavation trajectory and dimensions of the tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2020Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventors: Christian Krause, Markus Schleyer, Boris Buchtala, Steffen Rose, Kai Liu, Horst Wagner, Erik Hass, Bilge Manga

Publication number: 20220195705Abstract: A method is for putting down a tool of a construction machine. A position and an orientation of the tool relative to the construction machine or to a direction of Earth's gravity is determined by one or more of the following sensors including: an inertial measuring unit, an angle sensor, a linear sensor, and/or by an algorithm for determining a kinematic chain of the construction machine. Moreover, an orientation of at least one part of the construction machine, which part touches the ground, and which orientation characterizes an orientation of the construction machine relative to the ground, is determined relative to Earth's gravity. Based on this determination, movement of the tool is controlled, in order to bring a lower face of the tool to the same level and in the same orientation as the at least one part touching the ground, for putting down the tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2020Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: Christian Krause, Kai Liu, Horst Wagner, Bilge Manga

Publication number: 20080291844Abstract: A system that includes a network server and a number of network clients connected to the server through a daisy chained network. These network clients include a clamper circuit parallel coupled to the daisy network, with the clamper adapted to detect a signal transmitted through the daisy network and adapted to short circuit the daisy network when the signal has been detected. A detect and blocking circuit can detect a signal on the transmission line via measuring voltage or current going trough the transmission line, and as a result of a detection block or interrupt the signal. The detect and blocking circuit can be enabled and disabled by the network client controller in that a detect and blocking instance is memorized by detect and blocking circuit enabling the network client controller to acquire the detect and blocking circuit if a detect and blocking instance has occurred.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2006Publication date: November 27, 2008Applicant: VIP 1 ApsInventor: Christian Krause
