  • Patent number: 11746887
    Abstract: An arrangement includes a structure affixed to a housing, a planetary carrier mounted rotatably in the structure affixed to the housing, an oil bushing ring, and a first means and a second means for contactless power transmission. The oil bushing ring forms a lubricant-conducting joint between the structure affixed to the housing and the planetary carrier. The structure affixed to the housing has the first means and the oil bushing ring has the second means.

  • Publication number: 20230214660
    Abstract: A method for training a self-learning algorithm, where the algorithm is designed, as a function of one or more physical parameters of a technical device, to predict one or more values of one or more physical parameters of the device. The algorithm undergoes a basic training using values of the physical parameters that have been obtained by simulation of at least part of the device. The algorithm then undergoes build-up training with measured values of the physical parameters.

  • Patent number: 11566700
    Abstract: A system includes a bearing, a lubricant line, a vessel and a sensor. The lubricant line is designed to introduce lubricant from a bearing gap of the bearing into the vessel. The sensor is designed to measure at least one physical variable of lubricant that is situated in the vessel. The vessel includes an outlet or overflow. The system includes a lubricant sump and a device for introducing lubricant from the sump into the bearing gap of the bearing.

  • Publication number: 20030149556
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for mathematically simulating and for controlling real flows in a data processing system, comprising the following process steps: establishing and storing a plurality of preset base entities which correspond to real objects, transactions, relations and the like, the base entities having a fixed, constant data structure with preset attributes; establishing and storing preset, permissible relations each between two selected base entities, the relations having a fixed, constant data structure with preset relation attributes; establishing preset standard processes for a preset number of base entities and base relations each of which processes attributes of selected base entities, linked by permissible relations, and base relations for the automatic manipulation of the attribute values of the base entities and base relations, between whose attributes preset, permissible relations are established; allocating of input-status attribute values, which correspond to parameters of the re
